News Corp.'s second-largest shareholder, after the Murdoch family, is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal (pictured above ), the nephew of Saudi Arabian King Abdullah, and one of the world's richest men.
Saudi Arabia, which is ruled by Alwaleed's uncle King Abdullah, is, of course, an authoritarian petro-monarchy that actually is governed by Sharia law and is known as one of the top global sponsors of terrorism.

Um, rather ironic isn't it?
You would think FOX would be for the mosque!
nah, the Repug mosque-erade is all and only about politics, and politics is all about money.
btw, Rupert Murdoch's mother was Jewish.

He also has investments in Time Warner, Kodak, Apple, Pepsi, Citi, Motorolla, etc. He seems to invest in Blue Chip growth co.'s. I don't understand why this is news? It would be one thing if News Corp was doing something unethical. This is racist that an investor has to be a muslim investor first. That you think because he is muslim, he has to have a religious stance with his investments. Would you be saying this about a Christian?
Can you say BigBigBig Oil Interests, ruling Big Right Media?
Muslim doesnt really matter...unless you want to make it an issue SnC...its about big oil owning the airwaves at fox...Quote:

face it. your party is bought and paid for with oil money. you might as well have Michael Steele start wearing penzoil patches, cause you guys have sold the fuck out.
and continue to sell our country out as a result.

Interesting that you associate Islam with race.Quote:

What did Fox do in regards to Sherrod? Interesting that you want to play simantics with me, knowing the main point I was stating.Quote:

And is there any chance in hell that these strategic market "investments" end there?
Interesting that the progressives in here think that it is improper for muslims to invest in the stock market.
not at all. its just creates a hell of reason to distrust the message on Fox is all...Quote:

conflict of interest here flows from:
1. Big Oil owning a major news outlet and pushing imperialistic policies, neocon propoganda, and ultra-conservative domestic policies down the sheeple's collective consciousness, (all to support the continual extraction and marketing of their "black-gold" business interests and even in the face of dead bodies around the world and bankrupt nations, including our own),
VS.
2. the rights of the United States people to fair, balanced and unbiased media coverage.
sound like fox is doing this country a real service.
when wil you sheepish repugs wake the fuck up
Oh, I get it. It's not that he is a muslim, it is that he is from Saudi Arabia.Quote:

So you find it perfectly acceptable that General Electric owns NBC and 1/2 of MSNBC, Westinghouse owns CBS, Disney owns ABC, Time Warner owns CNN, etc.
Is it OK if people from Saudi Arabia own stock in THOSE companies?
atrocious straw man argument...doesnt even warrant a response really...Quote:
