Does Anyone Believe James Murdoch?

Murdoch's appearance before the Select Committee has dug the hole even deeper for News International. He was recalled, remember, because MP's were unhappy with his previous testimonies.

In their own evidence to the culture committee in September, both Crone and Myler insisted they told Murdoch about the existence of the "for Neville" email and this was the reason he agreed to settle Taylor's case.It has since emerged that Michael Silverleaf QC, News International's barrister, was asked to prepare a legal opinion, which stated that the company was certain to lose the Taylor case.
