Shame they can't drag in the head of Nike and grill him like this for the abuse and deaths of small children in making their shoes.

Well, since the man says he can't possible be in charge of his businesses, then he should be stripped of all of them which operate in the public interest. That is, the newspapers, TV networds and individual stations, radio stations and similar. Governments can and do assert a role in how these businesses are run and here's a whole batch over which the owner/boss says he hasn't a clue what's going on.

What coverage were you watching...?Obviously not the BBC...I'm not sure how many ways you can say I don't know but Murdoch junior found them all and then some...Murdoch Snr was somewhere else most of the time...however given the calibre of the questions and those doing the questioning they probably appeared to some to have performed adequately...The problem with these Select Committees is that they give the 'witnesses' a dry run at the issues...once the matters go to Judicial/Criminal enquiries the inquisitors will be a little more forensic in there examination...one hopes...!Whichever way you cut the Murdochs are culpable it is there business to know what is going on...this is not over yet...by a long shot.

Wednesday Afternood: Live on t.v: A split-screen showing a stuttering David Cameron getting roasted in the Chamber of the Commons on one half, and the serene and perfect preperation and take-off of the Murdochs Lear Jet on the other half. You could almost hear their gales of laughter as they flew away into the great American yonder!

@Fran Connor Exactly when did reporting the outright “crimes” of a major news organizations that shapes worldwide opinion: “liberal News”. You must be watching the coverage or lack of it on Murdoch’s US cable mother ship Fox News. In England this shyster’s organization is accused of manipulating politics for years along with hacking into the private call of victims including the 9/11 victims.

Wait until all the facts information come out. Than you can make a full assessment. Tuesday was just the start to this mess. There is a long, long way to go with this. And Rupert and James better fasten their seat belts.

Murdoch has 53,000 employees. If you want to hang him for one of their actions, please hold the New York Times to the same standard.
