Happy Tuesday! It may be the “most humble day” of Rupert Murdoch’s life…but it’s certainly not ours! We will have a slew of coverage on the ongoing Rupert Murdoch phone hacking inquiry by British Parliament.

Jeremey Scahill (@JeremyScahill) will be joining us today on the CIA black site in Somalia. Jeremey is the author of the best-selling book Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army.

Also joining us, to talk the Rupert Murdoch inquiry, is Ilyse Hogue (@ilyseh) of Media Matters (@MMFA).

Be sure to tune in!
