Black Democrats already do not trust Fox News, calling it a “racist network.” No matter how much I have tried to inform and educate them that that isn’t the reality of their news brand, with tweets like this from the head honcho, it doesn’t help.
I understand we live in the politically correct world, and we consistently want it to become non-politically correct, but you have to take personal responsibility for your actions and your comments when you go off the rails.
Rupert Murdoch was trying to praise GOP presidential hopeful Ben Carson and his wife but it came across awkward and maybe it was on purpose, only he knows this:
Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else.

Democrats had their Harry Reid moment, and now Republicans have theirs with Murdoch’s comments. Twitter comments got so bad it was like throwing kerosene on a brush fire. Check out these comments:
@rupertmurdoch Answer your phone. It’s your communications VP.

@rupertmurdoch could you define what you mean by “real black President,” Rupert?

@rupertmurdoch Can you please regularly advise black Americans on which of them is “real”, so they’ll be free of doubt?

@rupertmurdoch What about a real white man who runs a media outlet without bias? And much else.

Apparently nobody knows “real black” like @rupertmurdoch knows “real black.”

@rupertmurdoch I’m sorry, you weren’t even born in this country so you wouldn’t know a real black president if one slapped you in the grill.

Listen, I don’t have any sympathy for Murdoch in this one. He bit the dog this time, and he’s going to have to fix it or let it be. This is on him, but I will say it’s bulletin board material for Democrats with the CNN Democratic Debates right around the corner.
What do you think of Murdoch’s comments? Share your feelings below and share this on your wall and start up the conversation I am sure your friends will want to chime in.
