Oh, well. Stewart showed a clip of Christie previously saying that Obama can't find a light switch in the room. From what I know from GOP side, they wouldn't give the other side praise, unless there's Machiavellian motivation.
It should be mentioned (if not already) that Christie was this year's RNC Keynote Speaker, a prestigious offer usually given by the nominee. So I guess that's why we were surprised when a media tycoon like Murdoch outright threatened him. (Why not just phone tap him like you do everybody else, Rupert?)
If Hearst was alive and tweeting, well no I can't compare him to Murdoch. Hearst was American at least.
