‘Wake Me When He’s Dead’: Rupert Murdoch Hospitalized For Serious Back Injury; Critics Mock Him On Social Media

   DailyWire.com

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has been hospitalized due to a serious back injury he sustained while vacationing on his son Lachlan’s yacht in the Caribbean earlier this month, according to Vanity Fair.

Though the source of the injury remains unclear, the 86-year-old has been recovering in a Los Angeles hospital following the New Year’s holiday. In an email to his staff last Friday night, Murdoch said he was “well on the road” to recovery.

“I hope you all are having a great start to 2018,” he wrote in the email, according to one source. “I suspect it has been better than mine. I am writing to tell you that last week I had a sailing accident and suffered a painful back injury. While I am well on the road to recovery, I have to work from home for some weeks. In the meantime, you’ll be hearing from me by email, phone, and text!”

It goes without mentioning that leftists have responded to the news with schadenfreude giddiness. “Wake me when he’s dead,” “how can you injure your back without a spine,” and “it’s called Karma” were just some of the many responses.
