Related: About this forumTYT: Aziz Ansari Made Rupert Murdoch Apologize & Then Sticks The Landing
"21st Century Fox CEO Rupert Murdoch backtracked Wednesday from comments he made about "most Moslems" that inspired ridicule from comedian Aziz Ansari and a popular Internet meme.
This time, Murdoch used Twitter to clarify that he didn't mean to paint with such a broad brush when he offered his unique take on last week's massacre at the French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo.
"Certainly did not mean all Muslims responsible for Paris attack. But Muslim community must debate and confront extremism," Murdoch wrote in the tweet."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

I wager the retraction gets a tenth of the attention of the hate speech...Rupert has made a living off of the same old trick.
Attack the message, not the messenger, they keep changing the messenger, but the message is always the same.
