Less than 48 hours on the Twitters and the octogenarian Dow Jones emperor already got himself into social media trouble, sending a hypocritical message that earned him his very own hashtag. Joining Twitter on December 31 as the verified @rupertmurdoch, perhaps Rupert Murdoch's New Year's resolution involved building his personal and professional brands. At least that's how his two-days old feed reads, as he has bumbled on about accolades from the Wall Street Journal and Fox -- things he owns.
