Britons gripped by Murdoch phone hack grilling
(Reuters) – Rupert Murdoch’s appearance before a parliamentary committee Tuesday will be required viewing for many Britons infuriated by the escalating phone-hacking scandal.
The saga’s explosive mix of high profile arrests and resignations, political intrigue and the humbling of a global media magnate have gripped the nation and raised questions about Prime Minister David Cameron’s judgment.
Commuters at the bustling Liverpool Street railway station in London’s financial district said they hoped the hearing would shed light on how much Murdoch and his allies knew about some of their reporters’ methods and whether other newspapers were involved.
“It’d be naive to assume only Murdoch’s newspapers do it or have done it in the past,” said student Sarah Reder, from Croydon, south of London. “I’m glad someone is being held accountable.”
Millions are expected to watch Murdoch, his son James and his former UK newspaper chief Rebekah Brooks live on the BBC’s second channel BBC2, as well as the BBC’s rolling news channel and on Sky News, part-owned by Murdoch’s News Corp.
It’s gonna be wild.
