In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, which is owned by News Corp, Mr Murdoch said he wanted to address "some of the things that have been said in Parliament, some of which are total lies".

He added: "We think it's important to absolutely establish our integrity in the eyes of the public... I felt that it's best just to be as transparent as possible."

Despite the massive outcry over the allegations, Mr Murdoch insisted News Corp had handled the crisis "extremely well in every possible way" making just "minor mistakes".

"When I hear something going wrong, I insist on it being put right," he said.

Mr Murdoch also hit back at Gordon Brown over claims that the News International papers, including the Sunday Times, had illegally obtained information about him and his family.

He said the former prime minister "got it entirely wrong" adding that "the Browns were always friends of ours" until The Sun withdrew its support for Labour before the last election.

Mr Murdoch and his son, James, finally bowed to demands to appear before the Culture, Media and Sport Committee after MPs issued summonses ordering them to appear.

They will appear alongside News International chief executive and former NOTW editor Rebekah Brooks.

  • When someone spreads total lies you need call the A team! However you can't, because they changed their number when they got hacked.
