So it isn’t exactly big news that there is a rich Aussie bloke who likes to hammer back a few drinks. Yeah, no shocker there. But when you have over half a million followers on Twitter you may want to refrain from bashing away at your phone with your caviar-stained fingers and sending out incoherent babble.

Murdoch’s latest offering? This gem…

Deep bro, deep. The story that emerged from this seemingly innocuous tweet is a little more interesting. Another Twitter user, a certain Anthony Rooney, revealed a source close to the global business magnate confirmed he likes to tweet after a few too many toots.

This quote below from former Fox News producer Joe Muto, courtesy of Gawker:

…he was pretty well known around Fox as a lush. During 2008 election he invited a bunch of senior staff to watch Democratic primary returns with him in a private suite in the Newscorp building…

Rupert ignored everyone and pounded red wine while staring at the TV all night. As the night went on he got drunker and drunker and started grumbling under his breath incoherently about Obama and Hillary.

Someone from Fox News grumbling about Obama is about as shocking as someone from Orania having a go at Jacob Zuma. For now, however, maybe Rupert should think before he drunk tweets, people are waiting eagerly for him to slip up.
