FOX News: Fair and Balanced Minus 5.46%?
Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal announced that he has acquired 5.46% of News Corporation, the Rupert Murdoch company that owns and operates FOX News Channel, the New York Post, and several FOX stations around the country.
Prince Alwaleed, nephew of the late Saudi King Fahd, is the cretin who--just after 9/11--visited the World Trade Center remains. He offered then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani a $10 million check for relief efforts, but then released a statement full of moral equivocations--rationalizing the murder of 3,000 innocent Americans and blaming U.S. foreign policy and "suggesting" it be changed.
Giuliani promptly returned the check with a statement: "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."
Shortly thereafter, the Napoleonic Prince, who is affected by a strange tick, was also featured on a post-9/11 "60 Minutes" report that was even more offensive--filled with attacks on Giuliani, the U.S., and Israel.
Now, the Prince is one of the largest shareholders in News Corp, and said he may acquire even more shares. Will this affect FOX News' editorial content in favor of his extremist views?
Hopefully not. But . . . I report, you decide.

Great column, Debbie.
This is all a part of the Muslim plan....buy up media to try to hush the critics of this backward ass seventh century cult.
Have you noticed any changes in O'Reilly lately like I have? The "No Spin Zone" is now the "No Spine Zone"
Regards,

Wow, FOX is the only news that has any kind of balls at all. I guess there is nothing money can't buy and if they can buy the US government then why not a news corp. ? Scary!

Debbie, I don't know if this means much at the moment, but certainly every move by the creep has to be monitored.

Why am I not surprised? What the Clinton admin did for the Communist Chinese, the Bush admin is doing for the Muslims. We scream, yell and kick at each other because of our political beliefs, but when I see the groupings of Bush Senior and Bill Clinton, both Neo-facist working hand-in-hands, red flags have got to be popping up.
Deb, I'm glad you're here to point this out. Fox, the mouth-piece for Bush is selling out to terrorists under the deregulation act and we may end up in some sort of futuristic FEMA prison camp for speaking our minds...wait up, they are already open!
