One second thought, perhaps you are right. The takedown of Murdoch is a significant event (even though the authorities seem to be publicly ignoring the larger crimes of Murdoch and NewsCorp -- political influence-buying in the UK, Australia and US as a corporate agent of Saudi Arabia and its chief propagandist in the west).
But, I don't really think this is so much directed at Obama as it is a way to reaffirm the traditional narrative of social control over poor minorities. Can't allow a heroic "Neighborhood Watch Captain" to be fed to the rabble. Better to uphold him as a National Hero and protector of all that is good and safe in Florida.
