Yesterday, News Corp COO Chase Carey released a statement regarding Monday night’s BBC Panorama exposé that claimed a company News Corp has controlled illegally helped to undermine Rupert Murdoch’s business rivals. Carey said the show “presented manipulated and mischaracterized emails to produce unfair and baseless accusations.” Today, Murdoch himself has spoken up via Twitter. The mogul’s 3 most recent tweets are below, in ascending order:
Seems every competitor and enemy piling on with lies and libels.So bad, easy to hit back hard, which preparing.

Enemies many different agendas, but worst old toffs and right wingers who still want last century’s status quo with their monoplies.

Oh! Poor old billionaire.
Is the media you don’t own picking on you?
You just made my morning
Ha!
“Individual Personal Responsibility”?
Does this mean Murdoch Jr is going to get thrown to the wolves? Good. About time.
It is a shame that Rupert has so many enemies…wonder what spawned them all. Must be a right winged conspiracy…LOL.
I guess he thinks he is “winning”.
‘freedom of thought’ – who is he trying to kid!
am i the only one that find it ironic that murdoch is complaining about others lying? lol
Yet another example of why it’s a bad idea to have a Twitter account.
Old Rupert has built up a whole lot of schadenfreude over the years. Hilarious his screed against “right-wingers” when his own Fox News keeps the mouth-breathers ginned-up day in, day out.
Also ironic his little slam on “monopolies” when he owns a bunch of media properties, and would own more if not for a) anti-trust laws in the USA and b) this whole hacking scandal (he was about to buy B Sky B in the UK before all this jumped off).
Just saw a Frontline episode on Rupert/News Corp. I personally hope they go down in flames. And take Roger Ailes with you.
gotta love that ayn randian bullshit tweet there at the end. he’s not a monster driven by the desire to run people under the dirt! he’s really a force for good! barf.
“Old toffs and right wingers… Let’s have it on!”
And they proceeded to tear that hotel down…
