the 'general' public are being the biggest hypocrites in this entire saga judging by the general internet tone.
It's not up to Murdoch to 'get away' with anything. He hasn't been charged, or personally accused of anything.
If people watch or not, until he's personally accused of something, all he has to do is go in and answer a few questions.
At Start: General Public = 'outrage' at this NotW/News International 'Scandal' and cries of 'we never wanted all the NotWs scandal-led stories peddled on us through the years' and shock at scandal on the back of a dead person
And Now: General Public = Hoping for 'Scandal' in these hearings and blaming Murdoch et al, and trying to infer a conspiratorial link to the sad death of a journo. - i.e. wanting scandal on the back of a dead person.
Twitter did not disappoint this morning in showing how idiotic people can be.

I've long espoused the view that no one that seeks a position of power over others is trustworthy, and that such covers the police and all politicians, as people only ever join these establishments with a view to feathering their own nests at the expense of others.
And here we are with the police in bed with the journalists in bed with the politicians in bed with the police.

but anyone expecting anything other than by the numbers/by the lawyers answers is going to be sadly let down.

Bad idea to put a £10,000 bet that he'll confess to being the 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll?

but the trouble is, the person who IS implicated, Rebekah, isn't head of the paper, she's (was) CEO of Murdoch's whole company. surely that implicates ALL of his newspapers, and tv, and anything that might have used phone hacking to it's advantage?

/and let's not be naive here. 'If' all of his UK papers were doing it, it's a fair bet (although an assumption on my part, I'll grant you) others were doing it as well.

I don't buy his shit nosey rags but I think he makes a lot of money from criminal behaviour and I'd like to see some people who've been getting away with it for years go down for their crimes. And if senior figures in the MET are in with them then them too.

but there's a LOT of public comment, trending comment, being aimed against Murdoch et al with only guesswork, supposition, and an attitude of 'baiting' the big guns. It's purporting scandalous conspiracy theories
to appeal to the general mood against News Corp. and a lot of it has no foundation. It's not a great (or effective) way of going after the C*nt and his companies

Forensics didn't get there until 2100BST.
Nothing suspicious here, no, no. Sleep quietly, good citizens, your government is in control.

but pushing for the scandalous option straight off with little to no backing doesn't help matters in determining truth,
and essentially comes back to some people finding something dodgy in it because they want to find something dodgy in it.
