Murdoch forced to eat humble pie

IT WAS “the most humble day” of Rupert Murdoch’s career – even before he was pelted with a custard pie.

The 80-year-old media mogul was forced to admit he had been let down by people he trusted and to face a barrage of questions from MPs about the phone-hacking scandal which has rocked his empire.

But one person who did not let him down was his third wife Wendi Deng, who sprang to his defence when a comedian managed to evade tight security and attack him.
