Apparently, having a television "news" network that operates as the communications arm of the Republican Party is not enough for Rupert Murdoch. He issued his own direct orders to New Jersey's Republican Governor Chris Christie last night via Twitter.

Christie, you may recall went off script this week when he praised President Obama's response to Hurricane Sandy. Which doesn't exactly go with the Fox News/GOP meme of turning the superstorm into Katrina. Yet none of the right-wing backlash seems to have budged Christie one inch off his position.

Well, now Rupert Murdoch has stepped in to try to tell Christie who's boss. Murdoch tweeted:

That's right, Murdoch is suggesting Romney will lose if Christie doesn't "re-declare" for him.

And what if Christie disobeys? Will Murdoch hack into his phone?
