Rupert Murdoch Wonders Why ‘Jewish Owned’ Media Have ‘Anti-Israel’ Bias
In yet another round of the media mogul who tweets, Rupert Murdoch is raising eyebrows again. On Saturday night, the News Corp chief executive took to the micro-blogging service to ask: Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti- Israel in every crisis?’
The fervently pro-Israel mogul had written other tweets Saturday criticizing press coverage of the Gaza conflict. ‘Middle East ready to boil over any day. Israel position precarious,’ he tweeted. ‘Meanwhile watch CNN and AP bias to point of embarrassment.’ He then wondered: ‘Can’t Obama stop his friends in Egypt shelling Israel?’ Following these musings, the Huffington Post’s UK political directo Mehdi Hasan wondered, also on Twitter (of course), ‘Who is the bigger Twitter troll these days? Donald Trump or Rupert Murdoch?’
