Até agora o melhor relato e análise dos testemunhos de Rupert e James Murdoch e Rebekah Brooks é de Richard Peppiatt: The pauses Rupert took to digest questions were often longer than the answers themselves. He was a man "humbled" enough to subjugate himself to the mercies of an inquiry, but he participated at his own pace, not gifting even a flicker of emotion toward his inquisitors.
At least no one could accuse him of filibustering.
Yet even this stoicism felt more human than the corporate-drone patter of his son, James. Perhaps not aided by the curtness of his American accent or his constant puddle-deep politeness, Murdoch junior's answers were packed with adjuncts and clauses, semantic merry-go-rounds leading back to exactly where the listener was sure they'd begun.The lack of equivocation ("Nothing I'm aware of… No evidence I've seen…") did little to substantiate claims of current transparency and co-operation.
