Rupert Murdoch has been forced to deny he believes Barack Obama is a
racist, after appearing to back the controversial Fox News presenter
Glenn Beck's comments about the US president.
The chairman and chief executive of News Corporation said in an interview
earlier this week that Obama had made "a very racist comment" and that
Beck's views were "right".
"He does not at all, for a minute, think the president is a racist," a
News Corp spokesman told the US website Politico.
In the interview with Sky News Australia, Murdoch was asked about the
views expressed by contributors to Fox News, including Beck's view that
Obama was a racist.
"He [Obama] did make a very racist comment about blacks and whites and so
on, which he said in his campaign he would be completely above," Murdoch
said.
"That was something which perhaps should not have been said about the
president but if you actually look at what he [Beck] was talking about,
he was right."
Beck caused uproar in July when he described Obama had "a deep-seated
hatred for white people or the white culture".
His remarks were made during a discussion of Obama's reaction to the
arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr, an African-American Harvard academic.
Murdoch also said in the interview he thought the Obama presidency was
going "badly", citing the defection of independent voters in recent
elections in Virginia and New Jersey.

Either he's lying or he's retarded.
And why didn't the article mention the comment specifically that Obama
made that was considered racist?

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

This being Murdoch, both are probably good guesses.
Why do you depend on that Australian piece of trash to do your thinking
for you?

Nope, it didn't.

Because it was so incredibly racist it would have damaged Obama's
career, so the librul-controlled media sat on it!

I know you think you're speaking tongue in cheek here, but why
wouldn't they mention it?

I could see why he didn't, he was trying to distance himself from it.
It was a poorly written piece because it didn't tell the entire story.
Typical of the media in the bag for Comrade Barry.

Not during the Sky interview, he wasn't. Quite the opposite. He was
trying to promote it.

Well, that's typical of News Corp, isn't it?

Seriously, probably not. I know nothing of the person behind the ASCII.
But the ASCII's a real asshole.

See that proves it. I offered you some simple logic, but you are not
smart enough to follow it. That is sad.
