Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, whose empire includes Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, is hitting back at Donald Trump for suggesting that he was using his outlets to conspire against the Republican presidential candidate.
"Trump blames me for [The Wall Street Journal] poll, fights FoxNews. Time to calm down," Murdoch said Thursday on Twitter. "If I [sic] running anti-Trump conspiracy then doing lousy job!"
>>>Trump blames me for WSJ poll, fights FoxNews. Time to calm down. If I running anti-Trump conspiracy then doing lousy job! - Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) February 18, 2016<<<
During a radio interview earlier in the day, Trump said that a WSJ-NBC News poll released this week, which showed him losing his lead nationally for the first time in several months, was "just a Rupert Murdoch hit." Other polls, including ones also released this week, have consistently shown Trump leading the GOP field by large margins.
The Journal's editorial board, though, has published several pieces against Trump, and Trump has also tangled with Fox News throughout the campaign. He even skipped a debate hosted by the network ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
Murdoch, who is known for his conservative-leaning political views, has voiced mixed opinions about Trump in the past. Most recently in December, Murdoch said that the GOP would be "mad" to think of "ganging up" on Trump.
Previously, however, Murdoch has criticized the billionaire business man for his harsh tone on immigration. "Trump wrong," Murdoch said last summer, in the heat of controversy over Trump's now-famous screed against illegal immigrants.
One outlier forgotten about after Cruz hit 4th in ARG
Good God, do a search before you posts. This is like the fourth time already. Talk about a waste of bandwidth, and air in your case.
I did a search.
Murdoch has a point. As soon as Trump crushes his opponents in SC, he needs to settle down and just cruise to the win. He’ll need his energy for the Republican Convention when they try to override the will of the people and hang some loser around our necks.
I haven’t seen this one before.
Murdoch is sold out to the Bush/globalist agenda.
Completely.
Is Murdoch Australian?
Frankly Murdoch should just ignore the petulant little boy. Why give him more air time than he is worth?
It's not like he is going to Sue or something. lol
WSJ 89 consecutive days of trashing Trump in their editorials. Tomorrow will be 90.
I’ll second that motion. Yes you did. The only other posting was from the Hill and this is from the Washington Examiner.
If you have a few minutes evaluate today’s new SC Fox poll.
Fox is also going to be releasing a National presidential poll at 6 Eastern tonight.
Here is the ARG poll:

The team of NBC and Wall Street Journal (Rupert Murdoch owned) has struck again with their latest highly coordinated and heavily manufactured latest “Agenda Poll”. We have previously revealed NBC/WSJ’s prior two constructs.......
[SNIP]
Remember, an “agenda poll” is not created to show a statistical snapshot of the presidential race. An “agenda poll” has nothing to do with the support. Agenda Polls are manufactured to create media talking points, to create media narratives.
Agenda polling is about setting out to make a story, to sell a specific narrative, by using polling as the means to justify the story you are selling. Nothing more, and nothing less.

As I said before, yesterday’s poll targeted Cruz and not Trump.
Is Murdoch Australian?
Yep, an Aussie for a Kanuk!
Today we had a South American Pope try to trash our candidate.
I hope Trump rides Murdoch until he expires : )
Murdoch must be a Cruz supporter. They are all delusional.
