Murdoch tweets about “Jewish owned” media

Source: Salon

Late Saturday, Rupert Murdoch took to Twitter to complain about the U.S. media’s treatment of the ongoing Gaza crisis. Displaying his typically staunch pro-Israel stance, Murdoch also managed to play on an anti-Semitic trope with this tweet:

Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti-Israel in every crisis?

Very antisemitic, but what do you expect of Murdoch (though perhaps one might have expected him not to be quite so publicly blatant about it)? And also outrageous considering that Murdoch owns much of the media of 3 countries himself!

What an old muckraking crack pot. I'll have both feet in my mouth and I promised to stay out of all discussion of this nature. But that is divisive and a lie. I was raised by very liberal leaning parents, although I'm from a red state. I consider my views progressive and left leaning and tolerant. I'm upset by the government policy not the people nor their religion. I'll never be vindicated. The minds are made up. There are never any second chances.

A misunderstanding is a FAIL.

Maybe I can't always articulate what I say so that it can't be re interpreted and misrepresented but THAT sounds like antisemitism if I've ever heard it. NO misunderstanding there that is a blatant inflamatory confabulation.

should have their reporters make an extra-special effort, and and take down this gutter trash with money.....

surely there is more than enough to bury this guy (figuratively, or course...). they could start with all the lying in print for monetary gain, privacy invasion, wire tapping...

i'm just sayin'...

but what am i thinking? main stream reporters doing their jobs? BWAhahahahahahahah...\
