Rupert Murdoch: Worst. Interview. Subject. Ever.

0913deathvader.jpgYeah, it sure looks like Rupert Murdoch is totally doing his best job to live up to all the stereotypes. From Reuters reporter Robert MacMillan:

MacMillan: Hello, Mr. Murdoch, I’m Robert MacMillan. I work for Reuters.

Murdoch: Oh, really!

MacMillan: I just wanted to ask -

Murdoch: No.

Security guard #1: (grabs MacMillan’s arm and pulls him away from Murdoch)

MacMillan: Can you tell me what you talked to the editors about? (To security guard) Please don’t touch me.

Murdoch: No.

MacMillan: And can you tell me also -

Murdoch: No.

MacMillan: You were seen with Anderson Cooper at Sun Valley. I wonder if you’re interested in having him at the Fox Business Channel.

Murdoch: (silence)
