Murdoch Spotted With Embattled Exec

After jetting to London to deal with his News of the World hacking scandal personally, News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch huddled with his protégée—and former World editor—Rebekah Brooks at his London residence. The pair was spotted leaving the house in the afternoon, with Murdoch’s arm around Brooks. He told Reuters that Brooks was his first priority when it comes to dealing with his phone-hacking scandal. The smiling pair then entered the Stafford hotel opposite Murdoch's apartment.
