The newly emboldened parliamentary committee faced off against the world's most powerful media mogul, Rupert Murdoch, in a series of arguments intended to find something about the phone hacking scandal that has affected Mr. Murdoch's News Corporation and Britain's political and law-enforcement leaders.
