Welcome to The Beat. I'm Ari Melbourne, and we begin tonight with breaking news.

Just within the past part of this afternoon, we got a whole bunch of receipts.

This is the new document filing. If you follow the news, you may have heard it's coming.

perjury. And that's why we're hearing this very different Mr. Murdoch than we hear from, say,

Fox earnings calls or when he speaks in other forums. Under oath, we're hearing a Murdoch
