FOX NEWS OR FOX-JAZEERA?

I was not aware that a major Fox News shareholder is Prince al-Walid bin Talal. Being from a repressive regime that stifles dissent and free speech, I'm a bit concerned about the influence he can wield on the network; and with good reason according to Roger L. Simon. From Middle East Online:
Al-Walid also criticised US media which he described as "in general ... pro-Israel." But he also accused Arabs of not being pro-active in fighting the allegedly slanted media.

He said that during last month's street protests in France, the US television network Fox -- owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation in which Al-Walid himself has shares -- ran a banner saying: "Muslim riots."

"I picked up the phone and called Murdoch... (and told him) these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of poverty," he said. "Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from Muslim riots to civil riots."

Well, well well. Let's add Rupert to our watch list. It seems the Islamofascists tenticles are slippery, and can reach in anywhere.
