Completely irrelevant? Politicians using this for PR purposes doesn't do anything to address the issues, it's hardly a return to the status quo suggesting they do something constructive rather than reflect and indeed foment popular anger.
Appropriate investigations, with appropriate legislation based on the outcome of those investigations will resolve this, not grandstanding.
I'm actually much more concerned that here will be knee jerk legislation which will erode freedom of the press. That's the biggest risk right now, Murdoch's name is tarnished on both sides of the Atlantic for the foreseeable, and he's under investigation by the FBI.
