160. Impropriety


From, “Rupert Murdoch in UK to tackle Sun arrests fallout,” 2/12/12, BBC News UK:

Revelations that staff employed by the newspaper hacked the phones of public figures prompted the closure of the 168-year-old paper.

Impropriety: a failure to observe standards or show due honesty or modesty; improper language, behavior, or character
