WHY did Sunday Mirror stoop to slurping selfies for smut sting?

Re: the Mirror couldn't even take its own selfie

Most papers are lazy these days, that's the reason they've sacked their qualified staff photographers and simply rely on ciziten supplied photos from mobiles. When they need a shot, they buy a stock shot from a knock-down cheap library or more likely they steal off someone's website or FB profile. The amount a story will generate in paper sales compared to a couple of grand to pay off the poor sod who's had their online identity wrecked is nothing to the gutter press scum.

When Spitting Image showed the press journos as pigs in dirty macs, they really nailed it.
