Rupert Murdoch once again has no problem making potentially incendiary comments on Twitter.
The 21st Century Fox chief took to Twitter on Wednesday to compare GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson to current president Barack Obama.
"Ben and Candy Carson terrific," Murdoch wrote about the candidate and his wife. "What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else."
This is not the first time that Murdoch has praised Carson on Twitter. Murdoch has also previously been critical of Donald Trump, with the real estate mogul feuding with Fox News of late.

If you mean putting people to sleep - then yes, Ben has that kind of temperament. Apparently, you aren’t familiar with his background and temper issues. I’m assuming he overcame those, but who knows? Yes, Trump is loud and bombastic, but that’s what I love about him. You seem to mistake being quiet and slow talking to having a good temperament. However, I’ve learned over my many years, that still waters run deep. Donald has a good temperament, you just don’t see it because you don’t like him.
Cuz he’s uhmmmmm....black?
Wonder if ol Rupert meant a “Real” black President? Or, real black President?
Not a great idea to tweet a tweet mentioning race, at all, Rupy.
“If you mean putting people to sleep - then yes, Ben has that kind of temperament.”
For the type of medicine he practiced, IMO that is an ideal temperament. A loud, bombastic neurosurgeon would make me VERY nervous! ;)
I like what Jay Leno said about Bernie Sanders.
If elected, Sanders would be the first socialist
president of the United States since ... 2008.
Appears Rupert’s comment is trending on twitter...LOL!
Media having a hissy fit over this one but not over a UPENN professor calling Ben Carson a “Coon” gee, if that Professor had said that about Obama the media would be demanding his head on a platter
Beside the point: Carson and his wife obviously enjoy each other’s company. Both are as American as apple pie.
Who cares?
True - Obama is mixed race and mixed up.
Clinton was the first black President but it was only his heart.

LOL. That’s exactly how I read that.
He’s not THAT dark, Rupe.
Obama is not a black president, he’s half white
Carson would be the first real black president if he win
Murdoch probably is one of those that Trump referred to as not paying any taxes or Murdoch is afraid what his taxes will really be since he is a billionaire. Trump said wealthy wealthy will pay more taxes.
POST OF THE DAY....WEEK...MONTH...YEAR!!!
I have a bad feeling about Carson...
