In an interview with his own Sky News Australia, News Corp. chief
Rupert Murdoch said he agreed with Glenn Beck's view that President
Barack Obama's has made racist comments.
ìHe did make a very racist comment about blacks and whites, etc,
which, he said in his campaign heíd be completely above,î Murdoch told
the interviewer. ìAnd, that was something which perhaps shouldnít have
been said about the president. If you actually assess what he (Beck)
was talking about, he was right.î
Beck made the comments in July after the arrest of Obamaís close
friend, the scholar Henry Louis Gates, by a white Cambridge police
officer. Beck was making the larger point that instead of letting the
facts speak for themselves, Obama immediately drew the most sinister
interpretation of the police officerís motives.
"This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy, over and over
and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the
white culture," Beck said. "I don't know what it is."
"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people," Beck said. "I'm saying
he has a problem. He has a -- this guy is, I believe, a racist."
On Wednesday, a News Corp. spokesman stressed to Politico that Murdoch
ìdoes not at all, for a minute, think the president is a racist.
