The new CEO of The Washington Post and his hand-picked news chief come from a tradition of rough-and-tumble British journalism that plays loose with ethics, compared to U.S. media.

So this is how Washington Post wants to increase readership? Turning into Fox "News" 2.0?

That's an odd way of describing criminal hacking, "rough and tumble... loose ethics."

You could just say they illegally hack people they're investigating instead of treating it as if it were just some legitimate disagreement where both sides might be right.

Knowing the Post and the Telegraph well, I am sorry these vermin are invading what was once a bastion for truth. The Telegraph nursed Boris Johnson at the teat and fanned the flames of Brexit and the new European facism. Trump now has an ally.
