Rupert Murdoch responds to Trump: 'Time to calm down'

It is all because of Rupert Murdoch, and his anti-Trump politics. His chorus line on FOX is carrying his water -— probably by edict.

100%

"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!"

Murdoch may be doing a lousy job, because it is only a general nudge, not an out-and-out campaign ordered by the top to besmirch Trump. Murdoch knows (and is tolerant of the fact) that many of his employees do not like Trump.

In reality, Trump has hit a chord and is on the mark to "Make America Great Again!"

O’Reilly still likes Trump and vice-versa.

Brett Baier seems to try to feed a pro-Trumpian question to banalist panelists now and then but they are having none of it.

Greta yaps on and on about the endless crimes and misdemeanors when not sinking her jaw into Trump’s ankle.

And I never see the other shows ‘cause even given all the long-legged girls it is just more settling to turn to Bonanza, Gunsmoke and occasionally Pawn Stars instead.

There. Now you are good for another month. lol...

It was thought Murdock is doing a lousy job in everything these days. Has anyone viewed Fox News lately?

South Carolina doesn’t care what Rupert Murdoch thinks. Remember that on Sunday.

Murdoch started a proxy war of words, lost, and now needs to crawl off somewhere and die, along with his nasty pro-Arab jihadist-coddling son.

Sounds like a plan to me!

Murdoch and his two progressive cubs need to go back to Australia and stay therel

[Fightin Whitey]

I think it’s ego.

Trump wouldn’t take a leak on Stephens’s leg, out of concern for his precious fluids, and prep school/London School/U of Chicago Stephens cannot live with that.

ALL media empires try to influence; rather than merely report.

[Elsie]

But other than Baier himself, it is hard to find Fox staffers who AREN'T snipping at Trump, interviewing other commentators who AREN'T snarking at Trump, or showcasing other candidates who spend the entire segment harping on Trump.

EVERY one except the torch carriers and the pitchfork holders are out to get Trump!

“Is Murdoch Australian?”

Yes, but also a “naturalized” American, just like the Two Cubans. This means that Murdoch is also INELIGIBLE to be president!

[JediJones]

[Grampa Dave]

Good news!

Yes, but also a naturalized American, just like the Two Cubans. This means that Murdoch is also INELIGIBLE to be president!

[Slambat]

“Murdoch, who is known for his conservative-leaning political views”

Conservative leaning? Then he’s not a conservative.
Almost on is still off. Almost in is still out.
Almost true is still false and almost conservative
is still liberal.

Seems Murdoch like the attention his barking dogs on TV provide.

[dforest]

Nah, he favors Rubio. He wouldn’t mind pumping up Teddy to try and get rid of Trump. Then he will demolish Teddy in quick fashion.

[StAnDeliver]

When Murdoch sounds like the Pope and vice versa, it’s Bizarro World ...
