Murdoch rips Kerry for defending terrorists' 'rationale'
New York Post ^ | December 1, 2015 | Danika Fears

Media magnate Rupert Murdoch blasted American diplomatic and foreign policy under President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry in a speech in Manhattan Monday night.

Murdoch told an audience at a Plaza hotel dinner held in his honor by the Hudson Institute that Kerry's recent comments about the terrorist assault on Paris' Charlie Hebdo newspaper were outrageous.

"For a US secretary of state to suggest that Islamic terrorists had a 'rationale' in slaughtering journalists is one of the low points of recent Western diplomacy and it is indicative of a serious malaise," he said.

Kerry had made the comments in comparing the Charlie Hebdo attack to last month's murderous terror rampage in Paris.

They want zero tolerance for potential rampage killings by crazy people but are A-OK with coordinated attacks by Islamic jihadists.

Is Murdoch concerned about his fellow journalists, reviving his flailing media outlets, or just woken from his slumber after realizing the terrorists will move to takeover his empire to control the flow of propaganda and that he will no longer be relevant anymore? Which is it or is it D?

Obama & Co do see this as a nuisance. O recently explained we should expect and accept a number of casualties in our current circumstances.

Those same yapping Rats are unwilling to accept any gun rampages in America by drug addled liberals and loons. They’ve seized the opportunity to call all opponents of abortion ‘terrorists’ and ‘terrorist sympathizers/enablers’.

All of the above. Propagandists die hard.

If Murdoch would take one giant step to the Right, I might actually start to like him.

Of course, you know, it’s because they agree with foreign terrorists, that we are to blame for their misfortune. (Their narrative, not the zealots who want us to convert or die)

"For Kerry to suggest that Islamic terrorists had a 'rationale' in slaughtering journalists....."

Somebody ping me when the two-faced Murdoch gives a speech condemning his main-squeeze Hillary for consistently SLAUGHTERING the truth during her entire political career.

Or when the old goat has a chat with his two leftist sons (now running the Fox Network's day-to-day operations) about SLAUGHTERING 'fair and balanced' news, particularly when covering Donald Trump.

I'll tell you who has the ‘rationale’ and that is Trump! That man tells it like it is, has completely destroyed this P.C.B.S. and doesn't lie like the government controlled media, GOPe, RINO base, talking heads of this Country...and you want to know who has almost completely ruined America?

OBUMA!!! He has done more damage to this Great Nation than any thing or anybody since the Founding of America!!!
He hates America, He hates Americans, and when he goes to another country, he talks about how bad America is!!! He bows down to every dictator there is and kisses their butts!!!

He was born as a Kenyan, brought up by the Muslim breeding of life, sat in the most vile and vicious church by the most vile and vicious preacher that walks this earth and for twenty years he sat there and agreed with everything he has been taught all his life...

You want someone to put America back on Her feet, there is ONLY one person that can do that and that is Trump, he isn't ‘owned’ by anyone, and he is an American FIRST and the only people he answers to is The American People!!!

GO TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

When terrorists attack US interests, liberals navel gaze and ponder what we have done to justify their attack. When lone wolves attack abortionists, liberals blame rhetoric of those who oppose abortion and not the horrors of abortion itself or even mental imbalance.
