Rupert Murdoch Takes Heat for ‘Heartless’ Sydney Siege Tweet
Rupert Murdoch‘s tweet yesterday about the Sydney hostage crisis got lots of social media flak, with some Twitter users calling the News Corp head “heartless” and insensitive.
You’ll notice in the tweet below that Murdoch starts off by talking how horrible the situation is, then goes on to congratulate his paper The Daily Telegraph for being the first to capture the “bloody outcome”:
AUST gets wake-call with Sydney terror. Only Daily Telegraph caught the bloody outcome at 2.00 am. Congrats.

. @WillWillAFR A siege in the centre of Sydney is hardly an exclusive, nor is it cause for self-congratulations. @rupertmurdoch
