It’s Saturday night, which means it’s time for Rupert Murdoch to emerge with one or two matter-of-fact tweets to drive the rest of Twitter crazy while he heads back to bed. Tonight’s tweet, in favor of limited drone strikes, wasn’t as crazy as some were expecting, though.

@rupertmurdoch This is quite possibly the most reasonable thing you have ever said…ever.

@rupertmurdoch agree with you absolutely on this one.

— Temitope Akeremale (@Jahovason) February 10, 2013

I agree with RM… ugh MT @rupertmurdoch: Drones okay, but must be used more sparingly, otherwise every hit a huge recruiter for jihadists.

@jeremyweate Jeremy, I agree with @rupertmurdoch, drones are ok. They keep me and my kids safe each night. Do you have a problem with them?

Thank you @rupertmurdoch. The hypocrisy of many so-called progressives on this issue of drones is disgusting.

Weird, he’s right RT @rupertmurdoch: Drones okay, but must be used much more sparingly, otherwise every hit a huge recruiter for jihadists.

Well said, Rupert. RT @rupertmurdoch: Drones okay, but must be used much more sparingly, otherwise every hit a huge recruiter for jihadists.

Rupe’s right RT @rupertmurdoch: Drones okay, but must be used much more sparingly, otherwise every hit a huge recruiter for jihadists.

You almost sound sane RT @rupertmurdoch Drones okay,but must be used much more sparingly, otherwise every hit a huge recruiter for jihadists

Murdoch might be OK with drones, but much of Twitter isn’t OK with Rupert Murdoch and never will be. Let the other Saturday night tradition — trashing Rupert Murdoch — commence.

Murdoch just tweeted “drones okay”. I wonder what he’s been smoking. @rupertmurdoch

Drones are not ‘okay’. Every little kid would tell you that robot wars are wrong and end in #fail. @rupertmurdoch

.@rupertmurdoch Thank you for supporting the murder of innocent bystanders as well you heartless bastard.

— Steve Ardo (@shroudie) February 10, 2013

@rupertmurdoch SERIOUSLY? God you’re such a massive cunt #goeswithoutsaying

— lofieye (@lofieye) February 10, 2013

.@rupertmurdoch “Civilian casualties” are okay as long as they’re brown people who don’t love the same God as you, right?

— Steve Ardo (@shroudie) February 10, 2013

@rupertmurdoch Drones are weapons of terror used by ideologically motivated governments trying to preserve economic and political influence.

— Rufus Mildmay (@RufusM) February 10, 2013

Murdoch’s response? Just one more tweet to stir things up.

How can Hagel be confirmed after testimony showed almost total ignorance of defence issues?Maybe Obama equally disinterested.

— Rupert Murdoch(@rupertmurdoch) February 10, 2013

@rupertmurdoch YES Mr. Murdoch, there is no MAYBE he IS equally Disinterested in Defense Issues. Remember Benghazi.
