James was about to say he'd never asked about how off-book payments are made and then realised that was kind of stupid.

has James actually known the answer to any question asked of him yet?

In a way what strikes me most about all this is the foreignness of the two Murdochs -- transnational figures who have to fly in, not the cockney Met types.
+ the contrast between the two
RM seems fundamentally arrogant and certain
JM perhaps nervy, overcompensating with the oil

the arrogance of JM far exceeds RM to me - like even if that isn't true it's so much more evident in the extent to which he feels justified to speak, interrupt, overrule etc

This is even more brittle and more careful than I had hoped. I don't know what News Corp shareholders will read into this but I'm finding it hard to locate anything positive
― Gary Barlow syndrome (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 14:27 (twelve years ago) link
Coffey has asked some quite interesting questions about News Corp's management of irregular payments to people outside the organisation, this might well bear fruit down the line

I'm finding it difficult to draw that kind of conclusion because they're both incredibly nervous, incredibly guarded and incredibly deceitful atm

Oh god, Rupert trying to insinuate that this is all a conspiracy to bring down the free press. Instead of an investigation into highly illegal actions performed by his company.

In the latest bizarre twist in the phone hacking story it emerged that Alex Marunchak, an executive editor on the Sunday tabloid, worked for the force between 1980 and 2000 translating for Ukrainian suspects.

News Corp shares are up 3-4% today, trending up during the hearing so far - I suspect (in my near-total financial ignorance) this means "the markets" think RM is on the way out.
