Murdoch uses Twitter to hit back at Fairfax
"Proof you can't trust anything in Australian Fairfax papers, unless you are just another crazy" tweets the News Corp boss.
News Corp boss Rupert Murdoch has used social network Twitter to hit back at rival media empire Fairfax, which has alleged dirty tricks in the pay TV market.
On Wednesday, the Fairfax-owned Australian Financial Review said Mr Murdoch's News Corporation is up to dirty tricks, using hi-tech piracy against News' in the Australian pay TV market.
Today, Mr Murdoch posted to @RupertMurdoch, "Proof you can't trust anything in Australian Fairfax papers, unless you are just another crazy" - an apparent commentary on the AFR story.
While many corporate Twitter accounts server up business-speak blather, Mr Murdoch keeps his 209,000 follower entertained with a series of punchy tweets.
And that's been very much the case of the past couple of days as Mr Murdoch has both jabbed at Fairfax and pushed his own media organisation's exposé on an alleged fundraising scandal in the Conservative Party in the UK (that'll teach Cameron for taking a hard line on the phone hacking affair):
