Now News Corp is planning a national apology in a damage limitation strategy.

and today, the Murdoch's and Brookes are getting quizzed by MP's

"The trio are expected to be questioned over what they knew about phone-hacking at the News of the World and whether there was a cover-up.

It is the first time Rupert Murdoch has faced MPs in over 40 years of media ownership in the UK."

Wonder who will play Murdoch... maybe we could have a follow on from Tomorrow Never Dies?
