Former Dow Jones CEO Les Hinton dissed GOP nominee Donald Trump on Sunday afternoon, calling him a "sociopath."

"US media is broadly guilty of liberal bias, but this is different. The GOP have nominated a sociopath," Hinton tweeted, along with a link to a New York Times article listing more than 150 Republican leaders that are not supporting Trump.


Following the release of a 2005 tape in which Trump makes lewd comments about women, prominent Republicans have condemned Trump, with some going as far as asking Trump to step down as the nominee.

Hinton, a 72-year-old British native, spent decades working for Rupert Murdoch's companies until stepping down in 2011 in the wake of a phone-tapping scandal.
