Others want to know if fake Twitter accounts are like journalists who publish fake photos of Iraqi prisoners being tortured by British soldiers.
For reference:
Back in 2004, Piers Morgan was axed as editor-in-chief of the Daily Mirror, a British tabloid, for publishing photos of British soldiers who appeared to be abusing an Iraqi prisoner. They turned out to be fake.
@piersmorgan just like publishing fake pictures of our brave soldiers! #ashamed #wanker #CNN

@piersmorgan A bit like people who fake photos to create a newspaper story that would have resulted in our troops being targeted. Sad.

@piersmorgan @stephenjonesWhat about people who fake photos and stick them on the front page? What about them Piers? They’re worse right?
