A foregone conclusion?

So the Commons committee looking into the 'phone-hacking business has delivered its report, and concluded that Rupert Murdoch is not "a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company".  Whilst they are of course entitled to express an opinion, I don't think that Murdoch's fitness to hold office was part of their remit, and they are indeed straying into ground properly belonging to Ofcom.  And given that some members of the committee were known to be hostile generally to Murdoch, the report has to be read in that light.  I don't hold any brief for Murdoch who certainly comes across as a person you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of, but I think the committee's conclusions have to be seen as somewhat partisan.
