James Murdoch Returns to U.K. Parliament for Hacking Testimony 
---------------------------------------------------------------



James Murdoch, the son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, has denied
misleading a British parliamentary inquiry over the phone-hacking
scandal that has consumed his father’s company, News Corporation. The
younger Murdoch–News Corp’s chief operating officer–faced
lawmakers in London again today. Murdoch repeatedly denied he had been
given evidence of “wider spread phone hacking” at a crucial meeting
in 2008. Former News Corp. executives have testified James Murdoch was
made aware of widespread phone hacking at his newspapers, contrary to
his July testimony.
