Rupert Murdoch (Fox News Chief): Michael Bloomberg should run for president
The Hill ^ | 08/24/15 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 08/24/2015 12:03:15 PM PDT by Enlightened1

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."

I’d love to see that prissy little micromanaging socialist twit Bloomberg jump in; he’d just suck votes from Jebbie and the other RINOs.

An 85 year old man once married a 25 year old hottie. Six months later he died. She described the tragedy as follows: “Our marriage was wonderful. Every Sunday we’d make love to the tune of the church bell. Then, on that horrible last Sunday, a damned fire truck came by ringing its bell.”

FOX, officially now the gun grabber network. More confirmation as to why I haven’t watched their increasingly liberal and corrupt elitist GOPe loving swill for 5 or 6 years now.
