More shoes dropping

Not that you'll hear much about it over in this country.

Former News of the World legal manager Tom Crone has told MPs he was "certain" he told James Murdoch about an email which indicated phone hacking at the paper went beyond one rogue reporter.

Mr Crone said the email was discussed and "it was the reason that we had to settle the case".

In a previous hearing, News Corp bosses Rupert and James Murdoch said they were not told of an email.

U.S. media seems to have dropped this story in favor of the shiny-sparkly story that is the GOP Clown Car, but the Guardian is still on the case and I understand there are more hearings on Wednesday of this week? Or some such? And that there's a rift in the family and James Murdoch's position with the company is now threatened?

"Nobody could have expected" that an empire built on mendacious right-wing propaganda and yellow journalism would be involved in lying about sleazy, illegal activities.
