Fox News co-owner funded ‘Ground Zero mosque’ Imam

[The T]

Hmmm....... Saudis are the primary funding for Al Qaeda. Saudis are buying major shares in our corperations that control what we see as 'news'. The Supreme Court states that corperations, as individuals, can put whatever amount of money they wish into political campaigns.

Perhaps all you Conservatives should learn Arabic to please your new masters.

Hmmm...Oldfart believes Rupert Murdoch has Mr. 7% on speed dial.

Perhaps he should pull his head out of his arid old ass.

On the surface that sounds good, until you look at the business politics involved.

DC Bureau reports that Prince Alwaleed bin Talan, a nephew of the King of Saudi Arabia, "has personally donated huge amounts of money to the families of the Palestinian suicide bombers." He also released a statement after 9/11 blaming the attacks on the U.S.:
"not on the 15 airline hijackers from Saudi Arabia—but on the United States' support of Israel."

Mr. Murdoch seems to have made some sort of unsavory deal with the Prince bin Talan to help maintain control of the News Corp. Murdoch owns only 30% (actually, Murdoch's share is 37%, and with the Prince's share, that makes 43%) of the company. With the additional votes of bin Talan on his side he has much more security against a hostile takeover.

Hey, look where Fox News puts Egypt.

So the right wing says, "I'm sleepy, (yawn) what does this have to do with anything? We don't care who owns Fox news".

Only the right swears Fox news is the only "unbiased" network. Even after the prince BOASTED that he gets stories unfavorable to Muslims taken off the air.

So, in spite of those "elitist facts", the right wing has it's own set of "reality". And that's all there is to it.

AND WHY DOES THIS BOTHER YOU deany? When Democrat/Statists are making similiar if not more untawdry deals?

YOU act as if this is only the happy hunting grounds of Repubicans?

And BTW? The Founder of FOX is a DEMOCRAT.

*POP* Goes the WEASEL.

Murdoch owns most of the voting class A shares of News Corp. He doesn't worry about being taken over.

He did a few years ago when John Malone amassed a stake of class A shares, but Malone wanted DirectTV, so Murdoch swapped DirectTV for the shares.

That's right FOX lovers. Your favorite news station's owner is funding the project to build what you are calling a mosque at ground zero (really just a community center a few blocks away).

FOX, who's ranting and raving about this (not a) mosque, who's scarinng everyone into thinking the Imam is a terrorist, is actually funding the building of it.

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, owns the biggest chunk of the parent company of the Fox News Channel outside of the Murdoch family.

Bin Talal has pumped more than $300,000 into the project headed by New York imam Feisal Abdul Rauf as part of the prince's campaign to "improve the image of Islam in the American public."

Through his Kingdom Holding Co., bin Talal owns at least a 7 percent, $2.3 billion stake in Fox's parent company News Corp. His website lists News Corp. as a "core" holding.

Indeed, bin Talal last month launched a new Arabic TV news channel in partnership with the Fox network. The 24-hour broadcast channel will compete with Al-Jazeera. Earlier this year, News Corp. agreed to buy a 9.1 percent stake in bin Talal's Rotana Media group for $70 million. Rotana hosts Fox channels in Saudi Arabia.

Critics call bin Talal an "agent of Saudi influence" who has even marshaled direct influence over editorial content at Fox. He once boasted of persuading producers to change a screen banner under video footage of Muslims rioting in France to remove its Islamic reference.

"I picked up the phone and called [New Corp. chief Rupert] Murdoch," bin Talal said. "Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from 'Muslim riots' to 'civil riots.'"

Fox does not deny his account.

A publicly traded stock and you want to claim a 7 percent owner of a PUBLICLY traded stock is somehow indicative of how the organization thinks or acts. What a fucking retard.

I agree with you on that, I don't think the Imam is a terrorist.
