<TEXT>The embattled Culture Secretary has told the Leveson Inquiry he was
"sympathetic rather than supportive" of the News Corp bid for BSkyB.

Jeremy Hunt says a text to James Murdoch at the time - which read "Great news
on Brussels, just OFCOM to go" is not evidence of bias.

Mr Hunt insists he acted with integrity even if he did share his views with
senior figures at News Corp.
