British Prime Minister David Cameron regretted hiring of a former Murdoch group editor as his media adviser. Addressing emergency session of the House, the British Prime Minister offered his regret on hiring former News of the World editor Andy Coulson as his communications director. He, however, defended Coulson, saying he should be held innocent until proven guilty, to loud jeers from the opposition lawmakers. In his showdown with angry opposition in the House of Commons, Cameron said he had done nothing wrong in the now mothballed Rupert Murdoch bid for BSkyB and also had no dealings with another NOTW hacking suspect Neil Wallis.Meanwhile, Prime Minister David Cameron has appointed six independent experts who will form a panel to examine British media practices in the wake of the raging phone-hacking scandal. Shami Chakrabarti, a prominent Indian-origin human rights activist is included in the expert team. The panel of independent experts will help Lord Justice Leveson to examine media practices and expected to submit report within 12 months.
