Murdoch followed up with a pair of tweets a couple of hours later, saying, "I did not say I would vote for him! Just a friend I admire," and, "Far away from world's troubles here on Great Barrier Reef swimming and reading. Seems irresponsible."
Murdoch is the head of News Corp., which owns newspapers including the New York Post and The Wall Street Journal, and until recently oversaw Fox News and other networks as CEO of 21st Century Fox.
The Australian billionaire's apparent desire to draft Bloomberg the Democrat-turned-independent who left office in 2013 and has sent no signals he's interested in a 2016 White House bid followed a tweet apparently indicating newfound respect for the bid of Donald Trump.
Earlier this summer, Murdoch hit out at GOP presidential front-runner Trump himself a billionaire real estate tycoon as "wrong" regarding his remarks about Mexican immigrants committing crime and for "embarrassing his friends," after Trump questioned Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) status as a war hero.
He also sent a tweet suggesting Trump could emerge "unscathed" from the first GOP debate earlier this month and another saying his popularity is based on frustration with DC and endless regulations over people's lives."

Because as everyone knows the over-riding problem in this country is the proliferation of Big Gulps.

What party nomination could he buy?
He only became a Republican because there wasn't any competition for the nomination. (And least none that could spend his kind of money, especially with the leadership backing him.)

This is an indication of how grounded in reality Rupert Murdoch is.

Sounds like he's getting dotty in his dotage...and in his head, too.
He'll be 85 on his next birthday, by the way.

Doesn't he have a beautiful Chinese babe that's younger than him? Maybe he (like Soros) could be doin' the horizontal bop, and viola, die with a smile on their faces?

I think Murdoch knows Bloomberg doesn’t stand a chance in a nationwide election.

The liberal old pruneface, soon to be 85, and Wendi Deng Murdoch were divorced in February, 2014 after 14 years of nuptial bliss. She's Chinese. They met in Hong Kong...and she is now 47.
I doubt if he had a smile on his face when they split...she got million$ upon million$ including a $44m domicile in Hong Kong. He's said to be worth over 11 billion.
The smile is undoubtedly on HER face.....perpetually, I would imagine.....like the Mona Lisa.

Well she’s a Yale MBA but it looks like most of her career advancement came via her first & second husbands.
