The News Minute | January 12, 2014 | 06:44 pm IST Rupert Murdoch's comments on the Charlie Hebdo killings got him significant backlash on Twitter. On Saturday, he had tweeted: “Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.”And now, a fresh set of criticisms targetting Murdoch seems to have stemmed on the social media following Harry Potter fame author JK Rowling's response to the head of a media conglomerate. Rowling on January 11 tweeted, I was born Christian. If that makes Rupert Murdoch my responsibility, I'll auto-excommunicate. http://t.co/Atw1wNk8UX— J.K.
