Rupert Murdoch 'not fit' to lead major international company, MPs conclude

5. Myler was appointed editor of the NY Daily News after misleading parliament

"We consider, therefore, that Les Hinton was complicit in the cover-up at News International, which included making misleading statements and giving a misleading picture to the committee," the MPs said.

Crone and Myler were accused of deliberately misleading the MPs in 2009 and again in 2011 about their alleged knowledge that phone hacking went beyond a single "rogue reporter" at the now-closed Sunday tabloid.

"Both Tom Crone and Colin Myler deliberately avoided disclosing crucial information to the committee and, when asked to do, answered questions falsely," the MPs said in the report.

All three executives now face the prospect of being called to apologise before parliament, in a constitutional move that has not been used for almost half a century.

The report could prove especially damning for Myler, who is only five months into his editorship at the New York Daily Post.

What Mort Zuckerman was thinking, appointing an editor already up to his neck in the NotW shit, I don't know.
