The New York Times and The Guardian reported that Rupert Murdoch said in his hearing today that “This is the most humble day of my life." Hmmmm. This is a most interesting word choice.
Is claiming to be humble supposed to ingratiate him to the public? He is off his high horse now that News Corps is busted and is somehow suggesting that this court case is bringing him a form of Christian-like humility?
I think the appropriate statement would be that this is the most shameful day of his life. Saying I am humbled is something that most people say when they are winning the f'ing Nobel Peace Prize, NOT when one has been caught in a crisis of ethics. No doubt people see through his facade, but as a media mogul I'm curious to see how he is able to manipulate the coverage of this News Corps stuff to his benefit....
