Debbie Schlussel: Israel National News Cites Schlussel in Saudi Prince/FOX News Story
After first shamelessly ripping it off from this site, Israel National News a/k/a Arutz Sheva, an excellent news source-- which I read regularly to see what's REALLY going on in Israel and the rest of the Middle East--finally cited my blogpost as the source of their story on Saudi Prince AlWaleed Bin Talal's acquisition of 5.46% voting stock in NewsCorp, the company that owns and operates FOX News Channel. Unfortunately, the site waited four days to do so--after the rest of the Internet improperly cited them for MY work.
Here's their report:
Saudi Prince Buys Large Share of Fox News
02:21 Sep 30, '05 / 26 Elul 5765
(IsraelNN.com) Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal has purchased 5.46 percent of the Fox corporation, according to Gulf Daily News, raising concern that the conservative Fox News may soften its anti-terror stance due to the views of the new shareholder.
Journalist Debbie Schlussel, who originally broke the story, notes that Al-Waleed, the nephew of the late Saudi King Fahd, was last in the news when he visited the World Trade Center's remains just after the September 11th attacks and offered then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani a $10 million check for relief efforts. Al-Waleed then released a statement blaming US foreign policy and support for Israel for the attacks.
Giuliani returned the prince's check with a statement that, "There is no moral equivalent for this attack. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification when they slaughtered . . . innocent people ... Not only are those statements wrong, they're part of the problem."
