Interview with NYT in which Hoare spills the beans on Coulson. Other reporters have had to sign NDAs, apparently.
I don’t think the NDA’s will wash if they are called to give evidence though.
Do we have a legal opinion on that here on the board?
Watch the Select Committee here. (2.30pm GMT start).
Um … it is on now. With Sir Paul Stephenson.
Nondisclosure agreements do not apply to a court’s power to compel testimony.
Do you know what an apologist is? It’s not apparent.
Yes certainly if they had said nothing was suspicious that would seem inappropriate. What they should probably do is treat the death as unexplained, but not immediately think it is suspicious, but continue to investigate, right? That would seem a measured approach. Do you agree?
Man, this is the scandal that just keeps on giving. I can’t wait. 
Rumor has it that Murdoch is going to resign during his presentation. At least that’s what his biographer is saying.
Protesters making a disturbance at the beginning.
ETA: where’s Rebekah?
Guardian lists her as being a separate session.
2.30pm: Rupert Murdoch and his son James give evidence to the culture committee.
3.30pm: Rebekah Brooks gives evidence to the culture committee
James Murdoch looks like he’s shitting himself.
Wow, Murdoch Sr is really not a good public speaker.
And he needs to stop slapping that desk.
Rupert is fucking this up badly.
Yep. He’s trying to make it clear he has no idea what the fuck is going on in his corporation.
He’s being torn up by this line of questioning. It’s like watching a cat with a mouse.
And James looks like he is about to shit himself.
Tom Watson - whoever he is - FTW.
Is this Rupert Murdoch, or some old guy they snatched from a coffee shop?
Does he really intend to imply he hasnt the faintest idea about ANYTHING to do with his companies?
He didnt know a UK judge made a serious ruling about one of his high level staff? Bollocks.
He didn’t know anything about the Clifford and Taylor cases? The ones that were front-page headlines for weeks?
