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

[DiveCon]

lol!!!

yes, laugh
you look fucking ridiculous

I do? In what way?

Because I'm interested in the FOX lover's reaction to the news that their favorite news show's owner is funding the Imam that their favorite talking heads are calling a terrorist?

Because it's interesting and amusing to watch you freak out and attack and name call instead of have a discussion about it?

That doesn't seem so ridiculous.

in a way that you THINK i'm somehow a fox lover because i think bert tried to make a point that didnt exist


and that YOU believe "fox funded" him
again, an investor in NewsCorp is NOT FNC

Cute.

I'll take that as a concession.

Now explain why this matters.

Not a concession. We have people on this board calling the Imam a terrorist and radical. Yet they have no problem with the co-owner of Fox News giving money to this so called terrorist and radical. They also seemingly have no problem with him giving money to CAIR, a group that people on Fox News and members of USMB have called a terrorist organization.

I just see it as massive hypocrisy on their parts.

Just as a reminder, that co owner is a saudi who is the second largest stock owner in fox.

A saudi is part owner to FOX...this is hilarious!

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.

I look forward to saving this stuff for the next time you go on and on and on and on about some democrat found to have donated to some cause you don't like.

Roger Eugene Ailes (born May 15, 1940) is a right-wing American businessman and president of Fox News Channel and chairman of the Fox Television Stations Group. He was a media consultant for Republican presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush, as well as Rudy Giuliani’s first mayoral campaign in 1989.

Fox News
After the announcement of Microsoft and NBC's partnership to create an online and cable news outlet, MSNBC, taking the place of America's Talking, Ailes left the network in February 1996 and was hired by Rupert Murdoch to create Fox News Channel for News Corporation. In addition, eighty-nine additional employees of the NBC networks left with Ailes to help with the new channel's creation for launch, on October 7, 1996.

FYI -7% of capitalization ($70 Billion) =$4,900,000,000

Contrary to the wishful thinking some of you are experiencing, one does not ignore the second largest stockholder of one's corporation.


This "ground zero" issue is entirely a manufactured news item, folks.

It is designed to outrage those of you who have an appitite for outrage.

What's really hysterical about this is the Fox and Friends were attacking the Alwadeed's charity, the Kingdom Foundation, the other day. Of course they failed to mention who ran the foundation.

If you watch FoxNews, you are supporting terrorists.

again, an investor in NewsCorp is NOT FNC

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is a part owner (2.3 billion dollars - 7%) of News Corp which owns FOX, The NY post, The WSJ and lots of local news channels. Only Rupert Murdock owns a bigger share than he. Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is funding Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who is building the community center in NYC a few blocks away from ground zero.

And the Imam behind the Christmas day bomber and the Ft Hood massacre is rejoicing and happy about all the right wing American extremists spreading hate and fear. He's looking forward to all the new recruits you nutbags are sending him.

That's true. He says it. Anwar al-Awlaki LOVES that the right wingers are screaming hatred for mosques and Muslims.

Earlier this summer, Awlaki made clear he was drawing a bead on disaffected American Muslims in particular. He released a 12-minute video that included, among other things, a direct appeal to them.

"To the Muslims in America, I have this to say: How can your conscience allow you to live in peaceful co-existence with the nation that is responsible for the tyranny and crimes committed against your own brothers and sisters?" he began. "How can you have your loyalty to a government that is leading the war against Islam and Muslims?"

Fox News co-owner funded ‘Ground Zero mosque’ imam: report | Raw Story

The second largest shareholder in News Corp. -- the parent company of Fox News -- has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes linked to the imam planning to build a Muslim community center and mosque near Ground Zero in Manhattan, says a report from Yahoo!News.

According to the report from Yahoo!'s John Cook, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who owns seven percent of News Corp., "has directly funded [Imam Feisal Abdul] Rauf's projects to the tune of more than $300,000."

Cook reports that Prince Al-Waleed's personal charity, the Kingdom Foundation, donated $305,000 to Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow, a project sponsored by two of Rauf's initiatives, the American Society for Muslim Advancement and the Cordoba Initiative, which is building the Manhattan mosque.

Al-Waleed donated $500,000 to the Council on American-Islamic Relations — which has been repeatedly denounced on Fox News's air by Geller and others as a terror group — in 2002. Indeed, Rauf's "numerous ties to CAIR" alone have been cited by the mosque's opponents as a justification for imputing terrorist sympathies to him, yet few people seem to be asking whether Murdoch's extensive multi-billion business collaboration with the man who funds both Rauf and CAIR merits investigation or concern

So what you are admitting is the so called right wing fox, has a co founder that is not so right wing.

hmmm

lol

Au contraire. He's very right wing. He's funding a project that has FOX whipping the right wing nuts into a frenzy of hate and fear. This fuels the radical Islamic fundamentalist's recruiting for new suicide bombers.

It's the right wing Americans and the right wing Islamists working together to cause death and destruction.

Way to go nutjobs.

It's a symbiotic relationship.

Republicans gain power by scaring voters with muslims extremists.

Muslim extremists get more recruits by scaring muslims with Republican war mongering.

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Seeks Deeper Ties To News Corp

From January:

Alwaleed's Rotana already has an alliance with News Corp.

In 2008, the two companies teamed up to bring Fox Movies to the Arab world and then last year, Rotana and Fox International Channels signed a multi-year output deal with The Walt Disney Co. to provide a range of programing to viewers in the Middle East, according to the statement by Kingdom Holding.

You're seriously quoting Huff Po as a credible source.

Do you guys ever actually THINK? The Huffington Post takes its news from other mainstream sources, this particular one from Yahoo. Is this better for ya?
