My daughter pointed out some kind of shenanigan going on with Rupert Murdoch on Twitter criticizing the Romney campaign - not once, not twice, but several times over the past week, and not mincing words either. I didn't even believe it at first considering the week Romney has had with the immigration law mostly being struck down in Arizona and then the huge loss in the Supreme Court. Is he blaming Romney for that?
Shouldn't he be more, uh, supportive of the anointed candidate? Or is he trying to jump-start a candidate that he finds uninteresting. Sounds as if Rupert just met Romney for the first time at the big Chateau event in Utah. Frankly he doesn't sound too impressed. I wonder if Romney is refusing to take advice from Murdoch?
And to me that spells trouble for Romney if the Fox propaganda machine isn't behind him. Not that it bothers me, LOL - sounds great! Keep the criticism rolling, Mr. Murdoch!
Just read this:
When is Romney going to look like a challenger?Seems to play everything safe, make no news except burn off Hispanics.

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

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.

US election is referendum on Obama, all else pretty minor.

Someone calls him out on the critical nature of his remarks, saying he shouldn't anger the Fox fans:
@rupertmurdoch - Do not fool yourself. @MittRomney has a 'GOOD CHANCE' of 'DEFEATING OBAMA IN 2012'. Don't anger your supporters.

In the middle of all that, Murdoch talks about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, since they are divorcing over Tom's obsession with Scientology. Then someone asks him about Mormonism. Weird stuff! I don't really know what to make of it, which is why I'm posting it here instead of on Snark Amendment. It's all quite cryptic.
Watch Katie Holmes and Scientology story develop. Something creepy, maybe even evil, about these people.

@shakircMormonism a mystery to me, but Mormons certainly not evil.
