BBC News - Murdochs hearing: A day of high drama and farce:
Murdoch Sr had got off to a shaky start. We knew he was 80, but he seemed more frail - and certainly more human - than the figure of legend.
Not so much a titan before whom all must tremble, as an elderly man on a day trip to the coast, mistakenly arrested for shoplifting.
Of course, Murdoch employed columnists are having a hard time seeing it this way. Can
Andrew Bolt really say this with a straight face?:
The incident [the pie in the face] was a reminder to the committee that bad things can happen - like lax security - to the most august of institutions.
The Murdochs’ testimony was reassuringly impressive, after so many stumbles in dealing with this scandal...
A dignified refusal to comment might have been wiser, Andrew.

The most fearless (& funny) commentary on these matters I've heard from Murdoch employees is on "The Bugle" podcast, which is funded by the Times. I can only imagine no-one at News is listening. Bolt should have a listen to them telling it like it is.
OIC that The Bugle features John Oliver, who is the funniest guy on Jon Stewart's show (in fact, I thought I heard some time ago that he was getting his own show?)
I must listen to it.
