CNN's Piers Morgan could get some blow back from England's phone hacking scandal that first hit Rupert Murdoch's publishing empire. Four people sued the publisher of Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, a tabloid once edited by Morgan. The lawsuits are potentially embarrassing to Morgan and CNN. He has repeatedly denied knowing about hacking while he edited the tabloid. The phone hacking scandal surfaced last year and exploded at Murdoch's News International, which forced the closure of his News of the World tabloid.
