Rupert Murdoch’s Wife Makes Him Remove Twitter Bashing Tweet Against Brits


News Corp. founder and CEO Rupert Murdoch made his Twitter debut less than 48 hours ago and he’s already receiving negative publicity after posting a comment about British holidays.

In a Tweet on the site Murdoch wrote:

“Maybe Brits have too many holidays for broke country!”

Following his tweet his own wife who joined the website at the same time as Rupert wrote:

“RUPERT!! delete tweet!!”

It turns out one of the most powerful moguls in media had a weakness for listening to one person, his wife’s warning quickly led to the deletion of the message.

Murdoch said to his 40,000 followers:

“I’m getting killed for fooling around here and friends frightened what I may really say!”

In any case Rupert Murdoch’s move to the internet is a big step for the businessman who just in 2009 told Vanity Fair that the internet was nothing more than a having for “predatory” practices. Murdoch also said cyberspace was just a place full of “porn, thievery and hackers.”

You would think that a guy who is in the middle of a phone hacking battle with British lawmakers would have a little more sense. He might run a multi-billion dollar business but Mr. Murdoch definitely knows how to act like an entitled little brat when the time calls for it.
