Masks depicting Rupert Murdoch, bottom, and his son James rest alongside placards outside the Leveson inquiry at the High Court in London, after being taken off by protesters, Tuesday, Apr. 24, 2012. James Murdoch defended his record at the head of his father's British scandal-tarred newspaper arm, saying Tuesday that he had been given assurances by subordinates "which proved to be wrong." Murdoch was testifying at Lord Justice Brian Leveson's inquiry into media ethics to answer questions about his role in the phone hacking scandal at Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World tabloid.
