The Official Newscorp/UK end of season finale/Rebekah Brooks did 9/11 thread

Get these chumps off my screen, Lady Macbeth's been waiting in the wings for half an hour now

james repeatedly struggling with the concept of a yes/no question

o rly are we doin this it makes me so sad

"i don't know the details of the civil actions? but i do know? that i was very disturbed? when i found out?"

SPOTTED: James Murdoch appears to have a spray-tan gone RONG.

enough of the speak-to

there is an awful lot these two don't know, despite (a) running the company for decades and (b) having had several days to prepare for this

20 damn microphones those tabloid hacks

lol yeah wtf

me too

it's, it's ... paper

"it's paper"

I like it!

"expletive deleted"

(not the paper - the new look ilx which has suddenly appeared)

this Lab MP is very sarcastic toward JM

saying he never swears

'the Sunday Times - great newspaper' - why?

does this guy really love the times or is he playing the long game

"so the times... great newspaper..."

WHAT

xp

ugh sunday times, even more wtf

it's just so they can't deny that the reports are accurate, he's taking the piss.

kinda can't believe Brooks still to come

Lord_Sugar Lord Sugar
Next MP question: Mr Murdoch senior can you tell me how much red ink and black in is used each day on Sun's print run

james wants THE POLICE THE POLICE THE POLICE to conduct the investigation because half of them are in his pocket anyway

He just likes The Game podcast

Amazing: people's hero @tom_watson MP was flatmates with Neil Codling of Suede. This is bigger than Ben Goldacre/Noosha Fox #hackgate

this is brilliant

Am hearing Cameron "being summoned to special 1922 committee headed by Tories tomorrow" -- confirm/deny, anyone?

Twitter is saying exactly that.

Can this end already, I need to go out.

John Whittingdale is a 1922'er.

"I'm glad you've asked that!"

"I'd like to take this opportunity to talk for a very long time without answering the question"

did parliament end up being a debate tomorrow or just a statement? i guess he has a busy day.

feel like JM has deferred on so many qs that he actually would have to honour his frequent offers to come back again.

this could very well be murdoch snr's final appearance as ceo of news corp

On the other matters that have caught your attention this week, assuming we are thinking of the same thing, I am sure you will understand that we will want to be able to be entirely clear, for your sake and ours, that we have not been in contact with you about this subject.

So I don't think it would really be appropriate for the PM, or anyone else at No 10, to discuss this issue with you, and would be grateful if it were not raised please.

how did we define wilful blindness again

Said 1922 committee meeting would be fun to overhear.

"...and in the immortal words of Stanley Baldwin, "Your ass went from the House to hangin with Rupe to Brooks to James and Andy C. murdered you on your own shit.""

this could very well be murdoch snr's final appearance as ceo of news corp

have you asked him about this document?

no.

why not?

which document?

rupe's colostomy bag must need changing at this point

Can someone just bitch at him already for the death of Rawkus? RIP

Twitter helped out there already, a hoy hoy:

huahsu hua
"Mr. Murdoch--James--would you please clarify whether Kool G Rap did indeed receive a 650,000 pound wage packet from Rawkus Records?"

god this is just agonizingly dull

What did you expect? A shootout?

sorry i may have raised people's hopes

^ OMG! There should be one in the movie! (xpost to self)

Unbelieveable:

'brevity, please'

Alan Keen asks: 'could you paint a picture of how a Sunday newspaper is run?'

lol

could you breeze through the 168 year history of the notw
