Earlier this week, Rupert Murdoch opined that the apparent crash of Malaysian Airlines flight 370 was confirmation that jihadists were turning their efforts toward China.
777crash confirms jihadists turning to make trouble for China. Chance for US to make common cause, befriend China while Russia bullies.

Tonight, though, Murdoch leaves open the possibility that there was no crash at all, but rather the 777 was flown to and hidden in Pakistan, perhaps. In any case, he’s convinced that the United States and China need to work closely together to fight Muslim terrorism.
777. Still think this a reminder that US and China should be working more closely on Muslim extremist threat.

@rupertmurdoch How about extremists in general Rupe, irrespective of their religious bent? That'd be too much to expect from you I suppose.

@rupertmurdoch your extremism is the only threat to the western world.

If anyone wants to read dumbest "theories" on MH370, look at tweets by @rupertmurdoch. "Jihadists." "Northern Pakistan."

It is official, @rupertmurdoch has really flown off his rocker! Look at his theories of what the missing plane is all about. Idiot!

Solved! RT @rupertmurdoch World transfixed by 777. Maybe no crash but stolen, effectively hidden, perhaps in N Pakistan, like Bin Laden.

Haha @rupertmurdoch has lost it.

@rupertmurdoch I'm just spitballing here, but do you think perhaps the U.S. MIGHT HAVE SOME ASSETS MONITORING PAKISTAN AIRSPACE?

@chrislhayes Maybe the 777 is effectively hidden in the void between @rupertmurdoch's ears where normal humans have a brain.

Rupert Murdoch seems like a nice batshit crazy local newspaper commenter.

Did Rupert Murdoch just compare the “hiding” of a Boeing 777 aircraft to the hiding of an individual human being?
— Eric Haywood (@EricHaywood) March 15, 2014
Does Rupert Murdoch even read his own flagship paper's coverage of #MH370?
