Murdoch criticises Obama on Twitter

Global media tycoon Rupert Murdoch used his Twitter account over the weekend to attack US President Barack Obama over his administration's opposition to parts of draft anti-online piracy legislation.
"So Obama has thrown in his lot with Silicon Valley paymasters who threaten all software creators with piracy, plain thievery," Murdoch wrote Saturday.
The president and founder of the News Corporation media empire was referring to a White House statement released Saturday in which the administration says what it will and will not support in terms of how to combat online piracy.
