You know I mentioned the Saudi Prince and Fox News...From Pamela's cohort in crime Debbie Schlussel:
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/8331/r...
"Several years ago, I told you about Saudi Prince AlWaleed Bin Talal’s purchase of 5.46% of News Corp., the parent company of FOX News (and now of the Wall Street Journal), through AlWaleed’s Kingdom Holding Co.
I also told you about Prince AlWaleed’s bragging that when FOX News reported on the perennial Muslim riots in France, he called Rupert Murdoch, demanding the word “Muslim” be removed. A half hour later, FOX News was calling these Muslim riots “civilian” riots, with the word Muslim nowhere to be found or heard. This is why I routinely refer to FOX News by it’s real name, PAWNN–the Prince Al-Waleed News Network.
As I reminded you then, AlWaleed is the sleazy, keffiyeh-encrusted Saudi who, just after the 9/11 attacks, offered then-New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani a $10 million check, if America would change its foreign policy on Israel. And he supported Palestinian homicide bombers.
Now, Prince AlWaleed has declared he’s upped his (Kingdom Holding’s) stake in News Corp to 5.7%. Alwaleed also owns Rotana Media, the company that has the exclusive rights to broadcast FOX News Channel in Saudi Arabia.
But that’s not the news here. The news is that AlWaleed Bin Talal’s 5.7 percent share of News Corp. is about to jump even higher because Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. are increasing their incestuous business holdings in Saudi Arabia and Prince AlWaleed’s media ventures there. Murdoch and New Corp. is looking to buy 20% of Rotana, and apparently the deal will be for an exchange of News Corp. stock.
Yes, not only will AlWaleed yield even more control over what’s shown on FOX News–the way he did with the Paris Muslim riots, but Murdoch and News Corp. will likely take further steps to please their new Saudi patrons. The given reason for News Corp.’s investment in Rotana is that it needs new markets, due to falling ad revenue in the U.S. and Europe.
A stake in Rotana could help expand News Corp.’s presence to the more than 300 million people in the Arab world.
And don’t think this means that Murdoch will make News Corp.’s offerings to the Arab world more pro-American or pro-West. The Arab street doesn’t want that. It’s consuming Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya, where the great satans are America, Israel, the Jews, Christians, and the West. To compete with them, News Corp. will have to do the same. And it’s a sure bet that it will. Murdoch doesn’t invest to lose money."
