They Were Betrayed

[poliphilo]

I spent the afternoon watching the Parliamentary sub-committees interview the Murdochs and Rebekah Brooks and the two policemen who resigned. It's remarkable how little these powerful and highly paid people know about the enterprises everyone thought they were running. Stephenson blamed Yates who blamed his work-load.  Rupert was clearly too deaf and doddery to understand half of what was going on in the committe room- and James (touchingly) did his best to protect him. Rebekah had been  too busy shielding little children from paedophiles to notice what was happening in her news room. All of them have been betrayed by people they trusted.

They definitely deserve their high salaries, though. Someone less talented would probably have known what was going on, and therefore been GUILTY. The foolishness of gods is wiser than the wisdom of men.
