Despite the massive outcry over the allegations centring on the now defunct News of the World, Mr Murdoch insisted News Corp had handled the crisis ''extremely well in every possible way'' making just ''minor mistakes''....

However the pressure intensified with the disclosure that the FBI has opened in inquiry into claims that News Corp journalists sought to hack the phones of the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks. ..

He also dismissed claims that News Corp was considering selling or separating off its newspaper assets as ''pure and total rubbish''.

Asked if he was aggravated by all the negative publicity it had attracted in recent days, he said he was ''just getting annoyed''. He added: ''I'll get over it. I'm tired.''


(A lot more at link. Health warning: it contains a photo of Rupert and James. But very satisfying to know they're having a lot of trouble!)

1. Handled ''extremely well in every possible way''??????

I cannot agree with that at all. I'd have rather that Brooks resignation had been accepted a LOT earlier and the News Of The World had done the decent thing and printed a full front page apology.

Maybe Murdoch is one of those people who can never ever admit to having made mistakes.
