Rupert Murdoch Tweets genuine

A TWITTER account under the name Rupert Murdoch does belong to the media mogul and not an impostor, it has been confirmed.

Someone using the media mogul’s name started tweeting over the New Year holiday and a spokeswoman at his News International company said the account is genuine.

The embattled chief of the News Corporation media conglomerate says on Twitter that his resolutions for 2012 are to “try to maintain humility” and go on a diet.
