Rupert Murdoch To White House: Thanks For The Ratings, Chumps!

October 16, 2009 – 6:45 pm

Two words for the White House: Hoist. Petard.

News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch said on Friday that White House criticism of commentators on his Fox News television channel had served to “tremendously” increase their ratings.

“There were some strong remarks coming out of the White House about one or two of the commentators on Fox News,” Murdoch told the annual meeting of News Corp. shareholders here.

“And all I can tell you is that it’s tremendously increased their ratings,” he said.
