Does Rupert Murdoch Think That Barack Obama is "a Racist"?

Villagers recall that Glenn Beck called Obama a racist a few weeks ago on Fox News. Rupert Murdoch co-signed Glenn Beck's comment at first.





Rupert Murdoch has been ducking any follow-up questions on the subject. ColorOfChange has over 135,000 signatures on a petition asking Murdoch to either say clearly that he meant what he said and that he stands by Beck; or he should acknowledge there's a problem with what Beck said and take responsibility for stopping the continued race-baiting at News Corp and Fox.

But Murdoch has refused to respond.

Yesterday, Rupert Murdoch spoke at the Federal Trade Commission as part of a conference on the future of journalism. ColorOfChange organizers and others in the audience confronted Murdoch about his comments and asked for an explanation, but as you can see, Murdoch made a quick, silent exit.





What are your thoughts on this issue? Personally, I encourage all villagers to sign the ColorOfChange petition!
