Rupert Murdoch Hits Trump for Complaining About Fox Debate: ‘This Is Public Life’

Rupert Murdoch has made it known for a while he’s not particularly crazy about Donald Trump‘s rantings and ravings. There was even a report that Murdoch asked Fox directly to stop the pro-Trump coverage but Roger Ailes completely rejected it.

This week Murdoch played nice a bit with Trump and his supporters, but after Trump spent a whole day trashing Fox, the debate, and the moderators, Murdoch went to bat for them:

Baier, Kelly, Wallace great job Thursday. Fine journalism, no more, no less. Friend Donald has to learn this is public life.

— Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) August 8, 2015

As of press time, Trump still hasn’t learned anything.
