Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has thrown caution to the wind tweeting that Barack Obama isn’t “a real black president”.

Murdoch also suggested his followers read an article detailing the black community’s disappointment in Obama as president.
Carson has received a boost to his campaign in recent weeks with a series of interviews on television and in print; as Murdoch pointed out, one poll this week put Carson ahead of former front-runner Donald Trump.
However, his earlier tweet directly implied that Obama, whose mother was a white American and whose father was a Kenyan studying in the United States, did not deserve to be classified as African American.
Obama is set to step down as President in 2016, after a bitter battle between the eventually-chosen candidates from both Republican and Democrat parties go head-to-head next November.
Way back in March, after Carson left the network, but before he announced his presidential bid, Murdoch tweeted about Carson: “Wonderful character, up from Detroit ghetto, sadly seems political naif”. Carson, Detroit ghetto to brilliant neurosurgeon.
“Don’t be surprised if we do well with a number of Republicans”, Sanders told MSNBC.
“Ben and Candy Carson terrific. But public understand humility as admirable, listen to the multi-faceted strong message”. “His life story should make every American optimistic”. I would say, ‘Hey, guys, everybody attack him.
Murdoch has posted controversial tweets in the past.

“But when was Rupert Murdoch ever concerned about what Obama’s done for black people or about what black people need in the first place”.
