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

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

four "the"s in a row

five "is a" in a row

"that advice was just resting in our account!"

QUANTUM OF DAMAGES

ANOTHER QUANTUM!

Tally of Quantums, please?

Quantum of Dickthump

somebody should tell james that they need more "granular" answers from him

Really enjoying watching that vein popping out of James' forehead whenever he lies.

"are you familiar with the term 'wilful blindness'"

ohhhhh burrrrrrrrrrrrn

yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss

"Wilful blindness." hahahaha

burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn

HA HA x-post

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'.

"I just run the company, I don't know shit about it, especially when we break the law."

OTMx100

the wilful blindness moment was so weird, it was like sanders was making a not-very-veiled threat to them?

like, that will be GOLD for the film

amazed by this Con MP asking at the outset what COACHING they had!

"we were advised [three minutes of nervous, stammering obfuscation] to be as transparent and honest as possible."

"quantum creep" surely

murdoch snr is demonstrating wilful blindness right now

no answer to the who coached them, either

"i'm not really in touch"

Does anyone believe any of this?

no

I guess Al Calavicci isn't showing up just yet.

james murdoch definitely failing a turing test today

"maybe i lost sight of the NOTW because it was so...small" lolll

Where is Davies going with this?

Ahhh, a joke.

wish we had captions for the MPs names and parties btw >:(

we do get the same "rugby player retiring at the end of his career, in the future" headline popping up at the bottom every 40 seconds tho

RM likes talking at the same time as his interlocutor - makes things less clear

The Con got laughs for a question to RM - first real laughs

respect to that Con, he's brave

"i can't speak to the [blah] of [blah]" is such an ugly formulation

damn son

Murdochs deny knowledge of wrongdoing, shee-it
Updated 21 minutes ago

unflappable, this Con

you wouldn't think he was facing the Murdochs

Stop pounding the table! So rude!

It's weird, they have the same body language, their shoulders tilt at the same angle at the same time.

it's like he's questioning Keith Vaz

"I did not see the incident" A. Wenger

a mighty hump xp

I thought JM was at his shakiest on Tom Crone - they didn't pursue that

i never actually saw that speech JM gave on the BBC a few years ago, kinda wanna dig it up now out of fascination

he really doesn't want to answer the "who paid the legal fees" question

Joel Klein hasn't moved for five minutes.

seems bad how JM doesn't know facts basic to the case

Stop pounding the table! So rude!

he's very canny on this (he thinks): he's not pounding, so he doesn't look like he's on the ropes; he's slapping the table right under the mic, so he'll sound emphatic

oh man this guy
