Last week we learned that Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corp., the parent company of Fox News, agreed with Glenn Beck's assertion that the President was a “racist”, because, in Murdoch's words, Obama made a “very racist comment.” Of course, no one knows what “very racist comment” Murdoch was talking about.

Fox News was then forced to clean up the boss's mess issuing a statement saying that Murdoch “does not...think the president is a racist” regardless of what he may have otherwise said.

Statements and spin aside, we still don't know what “very racist comment” Murdoch was talking about. Perhaps if he was just asked directly, Murdoch would be able to clear up the confusion.

In an effort to do just that, Media Matters confronted Murdoch today on Capitol Hill for a little chat.

We are through the looking glass people. Murdoch isn't even spinning what he said about the president, now he's denying it outright. And to think we sometimes wonder where the folks at Fox News get their ethics from. Sigh.
