James Murdoch misled MPs, say former NoW editor and lawyer



James Murdoch has been accused of misleading the parliamentary select committee this week in relation to phone hacking, igniting yet another fire for the embattled News International boss to extinguish.

In a highly damaging broadside, two former News of the World senior executives claimed the evidence Murdoch gave to the committee on Tuesday in relation to an out-of-court settlement to Gordon Taylor, chief executive of the Professional Footballers Association, was "mistaken".

The statement came as something of a bombshell to the culture, sport and media select committee, which immediately announced it would be asking Murdoch to explain the contradiction.

Colin Myler, editor of the paper until it was shut down two weeks ago, and Tom Crone, the paper's former head of legal affairs, said they had expressly told Murdoch of an email that would have blown a hole in its defence that only one "rogue reporter" was involved in the phone-hacking scandal.

2. Been trying to watch the BBC to follow what they're doing ... but ..

for one, they seem to have turned the BBC into a branch of ESPN!!

They have a program Hardtalk where I've seen two interest shows --

one was Chris Bryant, Labour Party -- who suggested that Blair had

made a deal with Murdock.

The other day they had a panel -- no one mentioned the "suicide" and

no one mentioned the very misognyst reporting --- and there was a

female on the panel.

Where is American press on this now -- or Congress?


wow --
