Murdoch says 'someone took charge of a cover-up'

Rupert Murdoch said that there was a "cover up" over phone hacking at the News of the World tabloid but that it was kept hidden from him and senior executives in his media empire.

"There's no question in my mind that, maybe even the editor but beyond that, someone took charge of a cover-up which we were victim to and I regret that," the News Corp. boss told a press ethics inquiry in Britain.
