Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul who owned the News of the World, shamefully lied. This was the allegation of Tom Crone, former legal manager of the closed-down paper, who refuted Murdoch’s claims that he was responsible for covering up phone hacking activities by the paper’s journalists. Crone issued a statement on Thursday, April 26, which also denied that he prevented journalists from telling executives that phone hacking was common practice at the paper.
