Inquisitr reported last week when Rupert Murdoch sent out a barrage of tweets aimed at Mitt Romney and his presidential campaign asking when he is going to start looking like a challenger. However, according to recent tweets it seems as though the media mogul is still fully on board with Romney and even continuing to offer up advice, according to the LA Times.

“Met Romney last week,” Murdoch said. “Tough O Chicago pros will be hard to beat unless he drops old friends from team and hires some real pros. Doubtful.”

Many Romney supporters questioned whether or not the conservative associated mogul was implying that he was instead leaning towards a Obama victory by calling out the Republican campaign. However, he laid those concerns to rest, tweeting:

“Romney people upset at me! Of course I want him (Romney) to win, save us from socialism, etc but should listen to good advice and get stuck in!”

This attempt to counsel the Romney campaign wasn’t his first, as last week he tweeted:

“When is Romney going to look like a challenger? Seems to play everything safe, make no news except burn off Hispanics,” adding,

“Easy for Romney to spell out restoration of the American dream and bash incompetent administration. But not a word!”

As appreciative as the Romney campaign is for the advice of Murdoch, Senior campaign adviser Eric Fehrnstrom says that they can’t pay attention to every tweet and that they are very happy with the state of the race right now.

“We like the way things are right now,” he said.

“We’re happy with the state of the race. I can’t respond to every tweet that Mr. Murdoch sends out, but we like the way things are.”

Whether or not Romney’s campaign decides to adhere to the recommendations of Rupert Murdoch remains to be seen, but it doesn’t appear as though he will be laying off the tweets any time soon as he informs his followers, “see you next weekend perhaps.”

Do you think the Romney campaign should listen to Rupert Murdoch and his tweets? Or should he just run his race and not worry about them?

Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has received some campaign advice from News Corp big-boss Rupert Murdoch. The media mogul sounded off on the 2012 election on Sunday afternoon, criticizing President Obama’s opponent via Twitter.

Murdoch’s opinion of Romney thus far is basically that the Republican Party candidate is weak-sauce and needs to step up his game if he has a popsicle’s chance in hell of beating incumbent President Obama, reports Mediaite. “When is Romney going to look like a challenger?” asks Murdoch. “Seems to play everything safe, make no news except burn off Hispanics.” Further criticizing Romney’s campaign strategy Murdoch tweeted, “Easy for Romney to spell out restoration of the American dream and bash incompetent administration. But not a word!”

The pot-shots ended there, and it’s not entirely clear what inspired the News Corp CEO’s tirade, says USA Today. Murdoch hasn’t been sparing his words lately, though. In the past week, he denounced the G-20 economic summit of world leaders, throwing the entire gathering under the bus and implying that it was a colossal waste of time, saying that the “result [was] as expected and as useless.”

Though Murdoch has pretty much steered-clear of U.S. politics (media empire and conservative news channel Fox notwithstanding) he has voiced praise and support for former candidate Rick Santorum, calling him the “only candidate with [a] genuine big vision for [the] country.”

Maybe Murdoch thinks he’s helping Romney get his act in gear. Maybe he’s just a cantankerous old dude. We can’t say for sure, spokespersons for Romney’s campaign and News Corp were not available for further comment, says TPM.
