Someone should inform rdumb that being a 7 percent shareholder which I believe that is the amount the Arab he is referring to owns does not make you the owner of Fox in fact the only Arab owned network I know of in the U.S. would be current TV soon to be Al Jazeera America.

Hey, if 2% or so of a so-so baseball team in TX could make
W an "owner", then 7% of Fox ...
"Bush had cleaned up his act in some ways, tried some stumbling efforts in the oil patch, borrowed money from banker friends in Texas and finally bought a fractional piece of the Texas Rangers baseball team -- with his friend Karl Rove insisting that Bush be called the 'owner' even though he owned only 1.8 percent of the team. Rove desperately wanted Bush to be known as 'owner' -- it sounded better, especially considering the fact that Bush had no civic résumé of any consequence. He hadn't been elected to anything, he hadn't shown any real interest in studying, enacting, overhauling or suggesting public policy."
