Is Fox News owned by the Saudis?

[Joanne98]

I am biased against FOX News – I detest it. I dislike FOX News for what I think are good reasons. It misinforms. It uses false information to create public opinions that are dividing America. It is nurturing the mob mentality among a certain segment of American society. It is impeding social progress in America. It is using journalistic terrorist tactics against conventional facts. It is making a mockery of long established journalistic standards. It is providing a forum for a sneaker wearing clown with a blackboard to act as a social commentator. It is owned by super rich foreigners who manipulate ill-informed white Americans for some mysterious end. It also pays big money to scurrilous on air people while losing money and having fun doing it. I hate FOX News.

There used to be a black comedian on television called “Redd Foxx.” He was called “Redd” because of his hair color. I like to call FOX News “White Fox” because of the restricted color of its on camera mannequins and the hand puppets who watch them. I think my moniker is a natural fit. So with your kind indulgence, here is what I think about the present state of White Fox and what I see in its future.

The FOX News Channel was created as an alternative to the alleged liberal bias in the major media. In fourteen short years, the network has risen to the top of the clamoring cable clan outdoing CNN and MSNBC. White Fox is the indisputable grand ratings dragon of the cable news competition. White Fox gained 80 million viewers from its launched in 1996. It claims to present a “Fair and Balanced” view of the news, and it has spent millions promoting its brand. White Fox (FNC) is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation and Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. Rupert Murdoch is an Australian business titian, about whom Bill Moyers once said, “He buys lobbyists the way Almeda Marcos bought shoes.” Murdoch has been widely accused of destroying the foundation of American democracy – a free press, as seen in this documentary.

The man who owns the next largest share of FNC is Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who gave former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani ten million dollars for finance relief efforts after 9/11, but then released a statement blaming the attack on the World Trade Center by Saudi hijackers on the United States policy in the Middle East. Giuliani returned the money. These are the two foreigners who control the network that is moulding public opinion among America’s under-informed.

6. hmm

[NoSheep]

2. Is Rupert Murdoch owned by the Saudi's?

:sarcasm:

[tsuki]

3. Al-Waleed bin Talal owns the second largest block of stock. He

votes with Murdock to give Murdock a 50% share in the board room.

Al-Waleed is worth a google. To the Financial Times in 2002, he stated that he did not buy companies to run them, but to show them what they are doing wrong. He also told the Saudi Daily News that boycotting the west was wrong, they should use their money to buy power and influence not only with the governments, but with the social culture so that they could gain economic dominance over the US and its allies.

He bragged in December, 2005, that one call to Murdock change the chyron from muslim riots in Paris to the poor riot in Paris in 30 minutes even though the riots had been linked to Muslim terrorist organizations.

Look at the portfolio of Kingdom Holding (95% owned by Al-Waleed), Citibank, Four Seasons, News Corp, Apple, EBay, the list continues.

7. The 9/11 hijackers were almost all Saudis, but xCommander AWOL (R)...

..decided to attack Iraq -- which never had a damn thing to do with 9/11 whatsoever.

What is Fox News (R) hiding?

8. Should read, are the *'s owned by the Saudis? (eom)

[awnobles]

9. With the CIA

Don't think it coincidence that the CIA chose a foreign owned entity to propagandize the US. It's the one law they had trouble circumventing, operating domestically that is.
