Cynical as I am, it makes me think the guy was planted there on purpose by the Murdoch clan. From the opening line, "this is the most humble day of my life", to the fumbled and mumbled answers he gave to exaggerate his age, to the foam in the face at the end. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was an act. The man knows the media inside out and is an expert at moulding public opinion.
