Twitter hammers Rupert Murdoch over ‘conservative cancer’ remark

News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch took to Twitter Friday night to chastise Muslims for failing to weed out the “conservative cancer” in their midst, drawing intense criticism on the social media platform.

Murdoch wrote, “Maybe most republicans peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing conservative cancer they must be held responsible,” laying the blame for the actions of a few militant teabags on the approximately 7.5 million followers of the religious cult.
