When the News Corp CEO wasn't defending Glenn Beck and agreeing that Obama is a “racist,” Murdoch also made this claim in the recent TV interview [emphasis added]:

REPORTER: Glenn Beck who you mentioned has called Barack Obama a racist, and he helped organize a protest against him and others on Fox have likened him (Obama) to Stalin is that…"

MURDOCH: No, no, no, not Stalin, I don't think, not one of our people.

Nobody at Fox News has ever likened Obama to Stalin. Murdoch appeared emphatic in making that point.

--Teasing tomorrow's show, Beck airs photos of Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, asks, “Is this where we're headed?”

UPDATED: Here are even more examples of Fox News folks comparing Obama to Stalin.

Question: Is Murdoch just playing dumb, or does he really not know what's aired on Fox News?

UPDATED: And more.
