7/1/12, "Rupert Murdoch: 'Doubtful' That Romney Will Beat Obama In 2012 Election," Huffington Post

"Rupert Murdoch took to Twitter on Sunday to weigh in the U.S. presidential election.

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

He added: "US election is referendum on Obama, all else pretty minor."

This is just the latest in a series of anti-Romney tweets. Last week, the News Corp CEO wrote that Romney "Seems to play everything safe, make no news except burn off Hispanics."

Murdoch's criticism may come as a surprise to those who watch and follow right-leaning Fox News (which Murdoch owns.) The network has offered generally positive coverage of the GOP candidate."...
