    25 Times Rupert Murdoch Proved He Lives In A Parallel Universe

    Tweets make perfect sense. On Mars.

    American media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has been accused of hypocrisy after suggesting Australian PM Tony Abbott's chief of staff should do her "patriotic duty" and resign.

    Abbott again. Tough to write, but if he won't replace top aide Peta Credlin she must do her patriotic duty and resign. More

    Murdoch lost his Australian citizenship in 1985 after taking US nationality to buy 20th Century Fox.

    1. It's not the first time the former Aussie has lost his bearings on Twitter. Just yesterday...

    2. And there was the time he caught the popular mood on Page 3.

    Much fuss and publicity in UK as horrible elites yak on about Page 3. Worry not, The Sun will always have great looking women - and men!

    3. The time he held 1.5 billion people responsible for the actions of a deranged few.

    Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.

    4. The time he appeared not to know that Egypt is in Northern Africa.

    Moses film attacked on Twitter for all white cast. Since when are Egyptians not white? All I know are.

    5. The time he accused Google of unethical spying.

    Google attack on NSA extreme nerve. Google has more data on all of us and uses it. No evidence of NSA doing this. Ethical company?

    6. Sorry, several times.

    Privacy! Google just hacked millions of home computers in UK, presumably bank accounts, fotos etc while screening streets for Google maps.

    7. The time he solved the MH370 mystery.

    World seems transfixed by 777 disappearance. Maybe no crash but stolen, effectively hidden, perhaps in Northern Pakistan, like Bin Laden.

    8. The time he used winter to rubbish climate-change science.

    Wild winter in US, UK, etc. no respectable evidence any of this man made climate change in spite of blindly ignorant politicians.

    9. The time he pointed out that one of the world's strongest economies was actually in deep shit.

    Australia in deep economic trouble left by last six year wildly incompetent govt. New govt must take quick, painful actions.

    10. The time he called for more fracking.

    Has Cameron got no idea of effects of ever-rising power charges on masses? Lose election or stop windmill nonsense , start fracking now,

    11. The time he confused Twitter and SMS...

    "Please expose Eric Schmidt, Google " etc. Just wait!

    ...then realised his mistake.

    12. The time he misunderstood the BBC's modus operandi.

    BBC massive taxpayer funded mouthpiece for tiny circulation leftist Guardian. Meanwhile print media about to be gagged to protect toffs.

    13. The time he jumped the gun on the repeal of Australia's carbon tax (it was eventually axed, nine months later).

    Great first day by PM Abbott firing top bureaucrats,merging departments and killing carbon tax. Much more to do yet.

    14. The time he confused Tony Abbott with a conviction politician.

    Conviction politicians hard to find anywhere. Australia's Tony Abbott rare exception. Opponent Rudd all over the place convincing nobody.

    15. The time he compared Facebook with MySpace.

    Look out Facebook! Hours spent participating per member dropping seriously. First really bad sign as seen by crappy MySpace years ago.

    16. The time he called anyone uncomfortable with topless women in The Sun elitists.

    Is anyone complaining about Page 3 pix a reader. Enough of this elitist nonsense!

    17. The time he confused Twitter and his son.

    18. The time The Magic Roundabout took over the London Olympics.

    London in best shape ever. All overboard about the Olympics, brilliantly organized by Zeb Coe and Boris Johnson.

    19. The time he confused Twitter for Siri.

    20. The time he seemed fascinated by his phone.

    21. The time he attacked windmills.

    English spring countryside as beautiful as ever if and when sun appears! About to be wrecked by uneconomic ugly bird killing windmills. Mad

    22. The time he was pot calling kettle black.

    Enemies many different agendas, but worst old toffs and right wingers who still want last century's status quo with their monoplies.

    23. The time he forgot where he put his money.

    24. The time he forgot where he put his influence.

    Only ever met PMs when asked, believe it or not. And NEVER asked for anything. That is, I never asked for anything!

    25. And the time he blamed an Aussie telco instead of the President.

    Seems like universal anger with Optus from all sorts of normal supporters. Maybe backing pirates a rare miscalculation by friend Axelrod.

    Rupert Murdoch: King of Late-Night Twitter.
