[SIZE=5]Saudi Prince Buys Large Share of Fox News[/SIZE]
[B]16:55 Sep 25, '05 / 21 Elul 5765
(IsraelNN.com) Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal has purchased 5.46 percent of the Fox corporation, according to Gulf Daily News, raising concern that the conservative Fox News may soften its anti-terror stance due to the views of the new shareholder. [/B] Al-Waleed, the nephew of the late Saudi King Fahd, was in the news when he visited the World Trade Center's remains just after the September 11th attacks and offered then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani a $10 million check for relief efforts. Al-Waleed then released a statement blaming US foreign policy and support for Israel for the attacks.
Giuliani returned the prince's check with a statement that, "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."[/FONT]

Zionists at LGF Forum make some interesting observations on this particular Saudi prince and Rupert Murdoch's power play:[/I]

[B]Al-Waleed is a typical Saudi hypocrite. Notwithstanding his public hate for Israel, much of his investing success has been through using Jewish advisors. He has made substantial sums thorugh investing in Citigroup (led by Sandy Weil) and was part of a consortium led by Paul Reichmann that purchased and sold Canary Wharf in London.
His main advisors are Jewish, and he enjoys the Western lifestyle when outside Saudi Arabia.[/B] It is surprising that the Mossad or CIA haven't distributed video evidence of Saudi princes hypocritical behaviour in their homeland. That would bring down the House of Fraud rather quickly. [/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue] [FONT=Garamond] [SIZE=3]#47 BPP 9/25/2005 09:02AM PDT
Another LGF knee-jerk reaction based on appalling ignorance.
[B]If anyone actually cared to figure out what's going on, they'd realize that Waleed's stake is in The News Corporation, the owner of Fox, and not "The Fox Corporation". News Corporation owns the NY Post, the Fox TV Channel, The Fox movie studio, The Times of London, The Sun, The Weekly Standard, the StarTV Asian satellite network, DirectTV and dozens of other properties.
The reason for the increased ownership stake and changed voting stake has to do with Rupert Murdoch needing friendly allies to maintain control of News and prevent John Malone and Liberty Media from assuming too high a voting stake. It has zero to do with Waleed wanting a say over Fox's content.[/B]
But never let the facts get in the way of a good paranoid rant! [/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
