President Obama is currently en route to Thailand after a quick stop in Germany for fuel, so he’s unlikely to see Rupert Murdoch’s request today. Plenty of others did, though, and found the opportunity to add to their hatred of the man who brought the world Fox News.
That last @rupertmurdoch tweet is his worst ever, and that's saying a lot

You have to wonder if Murdoch's acct has been hacked. RT @rupertmurdoch Can't Obama stop his friends in Egypt shelling Israel?

If U were on the fence about @RupertMurdoch being evil, he just tweeted "Can't Obama stop his friends in Egypt shelling Israel?" #MSNBC

Every time you think Rupert Murdoch can't say anything dumber or more provocative, he goes and proves us wrong. See the last (re)tweet.

Looks like @rupertmurdoch is drunk tweeting again…. That, or he's forgotten to take his meds. Last tweet is truly unbelievable!

@rupertmurdoch You're a terrible human being. Just garbage in skin. And I'm being polite.

As long as he’s asking, Murdoch would like a little less bias in his news.
Middle East ready to boil over any day. Israel position precarious. Meanwhile watch CNN and AP bias to point of embarrassment.

Update: Murdoch seems intent on melting down Twitter on an otherwise quiet Saturday night. Many are taking screenshots of his next tweet before it’s deleted, but we don’t imagine it’s going anywhere.
Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti- Israel in every crisis?

Update: Murdoch tweets apology.
",Jewish owned press" have been sternly criticised, suggesting link to Jewish reporters. Don't see this, but apologise unreservedly.
