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.

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.
