This is really funny. I’d like to correct one misperception though. If you watched my recent Fault Lines episode about fracking in the US, then you know proponents of it believe one of their strongest arguments is that natural gas is cleaner and better for the environment than oil (some scientists dispute this). Those same proponents tend to be conservative and their viewpoint is repeated frequently on Fox News. Then it’s worth pointing out that Qatar is not an oil-rich nation, rather its wealth is built upon its large reserves of, wait for it, natural gas. The people at Fox News must know this, but they never let a fact get in the way of a chance to slam Al Gore. 

One other point, the inverse of Jon’s last point is true as well. Not only does Fox News’ parent corporation News Corp own Rotana, but Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is the second largest owner of News Corp behind Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch. So is Fox News controlled by foreign entities?
