He either did or he didn't - putting broke in quotes is the Guardian covering their arses.

This shows how close Blair was with Murdoch?

Quote:

Tony Blair is the godfather to one of Rupert Murdoch's young children, according to a forthcoming edition of fashion magazine Vogue.

The former UK prime minister was reportedly present last March when Mr Murdoch's two daughters by his third wife, Wendi Deng, were baptised.

The revelation comes in an interview with Ms Deng in Vogue.

Paul Dacre can have my ****ing hard drive off my computer. He won't find anything there other than very orthodox pornography that consenting couples used recreationally. He'll be familiar with the stuff.

Quote:

Mr. Crone and Mr. Myler testified that the meeting had centered on the e-mail, which they said they had cited in support of their argument that a settlement should be made with Mr. Taylor. Mr. Crone said he was â€œabsolutely certainâ€ he had shown the e-mail to Mr. Murdoch, and had pushed to settle the case because there were four other targets of News of the World phone-hacking who were â€œwaiting in the wingsâ€ to begin civil damages lawsuits of their own that would draw heavily on evidence in the Taylor case if it were not ended by a financial settlement with a binding confidentiality clause.
Mr. Myler testified that all three men at the meeting â€œperfectly understood the seriousness and significance of what we were discussing,â€ in terms of more civil suits if the Taylor case was not settled and the e-mail was introduced in evidence.

Quote:

James Murdoch said in his statement, however, that his testimony in July was â€œan accurate account of eventsâ€ and that Mr. Crone and Mr. Myler â€œdid not show me the e-mail.â€ â€œAs I said in my testimony, there was nothing discussed in the meeting that led me to believe that a further investigation was necessary,â€ he said.

So who to believe?

Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal

Well l believe James Murdoch should have to take a lie detector test because l do not believe him one jot.

But there are very nice gentlemen who are polite and well mannered and would do anything for their mother and then there are those gentlemen who would sell your mother to the highest bidder and Murdoch is one of these in my mind.

Lie detectors can be quite easily fooled, and can also provide "false positives" - they are only foolproof in films....
