Given that The Sun appear to have supported, almost encouraged Wootton with their non-action/promotions/NDAs etc, their actions re Huw Edwards are particularly egregious hypocrisy even by their standards (I know, I’m shocked does speak to the base hypocrisy of The Sun though (I know, I’m shocked!!! Actually I am, if accurate this crosses the line much further than I’d have imagined)

Huw Edwards was just personal dirt, plus he is the No1 news reader - the one who tells us all the bad news. The Sun was gleeful in the carnage it caused within the BBC. Horrible stuff from a horrible paper.
While Wooton is still a big deal - he's nowhere near Huw Edwards in terms of profile. I'm sure huge numbers of people have never heard of him. And all the Wooton allegations surround the murky inner workings of the tabloid press - so there is very much a skeletons in closets cancelling out skeletons in closets issue - hence why it's mainly covered in Byline - a new newspaper with no closet.
