New York: Powerful media magnate Rupert Murdoch apologized on Thursday after suggesting that Barack Obama was not "a real black president," triggering outrage.
In a message posted to his rupertmurdoch Twitter account late Wednesday, the 84-year-old owner of News Corporation had seemed to question Obama´s racial identity while comparing him unfavorably to Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson, an African-American retired neurosurgeon.
"Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else," Murdoch tweeted.
