Good grief!

Just when I think that the Murdoch hearing won't get any more interesting than the revelation Rupes frequently visited the PM through his backdoor (cue audience chortles) ...

An audience member slaps Rupert with a cream pie ...

AND WENDY DENG FLIES THROUGH THE AIR AND WHACKS THE CHAP IN THE FACE!

*Sniffs* Once again, the Murdochs can be relied on to turn serious news into entertainment.

(It's only funny because no one was hurt. But given no one was hurt, it's pretty fucking funny!)

What I want to know is how much this 'public questioning' is actually orchestrated by Murdoch and Co, as if they were ever brought to trial over this it could be argued that no jury would be able to act without prejudice due to this information.

After all - it's not really a political issue in that the pollies aren't able to charge him with anything or act on the information given in any way that's going to influence things - it's a criminal case under investigation which should be handled by the appropriate investigators (assuming we actually have any left after recent resignations).

I feel very cynical about this entire process right now, although I'm sure you'll set me straight on my naivety. :D
