So while Fox News and all it's affiliated punditry are hyping the anti-mosque movement in NYC and stoking the anti-muslim hysteria throughout the USA, they are strangely silent that the Second largest Shareholder of their parent company is a Saudi muslim who has funded the very same project:
Think Progress Fox Shareholder Prince Alwaleed Meets With News Corp Execs To Discuss How To ?Strengthen The Alliance?
So I'll just sit back and wait for all the folks on these threads that are against the NYC mosque, railing about sharia infilitration/takeover of the USA, etc., to turn their ire on Fox News, and ask their demi-gods of neocon punditry (Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Levin, etc.) to bite the hand that feeds them.![]()
I'm confused as to why you think this revelation will change anyone's mind? I still think putting a mosque at that site shows a lack of sensibilities towards 3000 dead Americans. And that's just the way it goes.
Exactly Willow. If someone wanted to put a firing range 2 blocks from Colombine then the liberals would be screaming about a lack of sensibilities anout those who were killed. Putting a mosque at ground zero is a very bad idea.

Doesn't this show, if your facts are accurate, that they (FNC) are not being influenced on the subject of the mosque by this large shareholder? Isn't that a good thing? Doesn't it fly in the face of commonly held precepts about investors in Fox and their influence on the handling of subjects and their reportage?
You are being too clever by half.
Okay, let me put it in terms you'll easily understand:
One of the major mantras that's been echoed by the newscasters and the pundits connected to or affiliated with FOX NEWS and parroted by protesters alike has been suspicion of who is providing funding for the construction of the cultural center that contains a mosque.....the insinuation being that Al Qaeda-like folk are doing so as a major PR/propaganda move for recruitment (a major step to take over the USA and put it under Sharia law

Now, it's been revealed as a FACT that not only is the second largest investor in Fox's parent company is a Saudi, but he's also endorsed the cultural center.
So, where's all the noise? Where's Peter King, Rick Lazio, Newt Gingrich making all types of allegations and insinuations? And why no declaration or explanation from Fox News that everything is on the up and up?
See, it would be very Machievellian for the owners of Fox to stoke a controversy that they themselves are promoting on both sides of the aisle.
In other words, the protestors are being played for chumps...and all the excuses and willful ignorance won't change the facts that conclude that!
