Is the suggestion from Watson's last question that Alex Marunchak did something that hasn't come out yet?

yeah, it was an obscure, short-circuited close

In the latest bizarre twist in the phone hacking story it emerged that Alex Marunchak, an executive editor on the Sunday tabloid, worked for the force between 1980 and 2000 translating for Ukrainian suspects.

there are allegations that he's involved with computer hacking, having gained access to an intelligence officer's laptop in northern ireland. he's also the one who helped the alleged killers of daniel morgan obstruct the police investigation.

News Corp shares are up 3-4% today, trending up during the hearing so far - I suspect (in my near-total financial ignorance) this means "the markets" think RM is on the way out.

i could've sworn that NI publications have generally called for heads of scandal-hit organisations to man up and take the rap

Watching this, I imagine the medical profession think RM is on the way out

I don't think RM is strained ... I think he thinks this is beneath him

imo he's not used to being in this position (i.e. not the strongest person in any given room) and doesn't know how to deal with it

When they were asking Murdoch if his employees had told him about the verdict of 'collective amnesia', I wished he'd said 'they must have forgotten'.
