Fox News, Ground Zero, and A Cool Million Dollars - Part II

[Drixxx]

Fox News co-owner funded ‘Ground Zero mosque’ imam: report

The second largest shareholder in News Corp. -- the parent company of Fox News -- has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes linked to the imam planning to build a Muslim community center and mosque near Ground Zero in Manhattan, says a report from Yahoo!News.

According to the report from Yahoo!'s John Cook, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who owns seven percent of News Corp., "has directly funded [Imam Feisal Abdul] Rauf's projects to the tune of more than $300,000."

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. Gives Big To GOP

News Corp.'s $1 million contribution to the Republican Governors Association earlier this year would be a notable gift from any company — but Rupert Murdoch's media empire is hardly just any company.

Officials at Fox News, the nation's top-rated cable news channel, declined to comment. They deferred to their parent company, News Corp., whose spokesman Jack Horner rejects the notion that the gift in any way undercuts the professional standing of its journalists.

Typical confused and disoriented Republican response. Just hysterically start barking out right wing talking points and bumper sticker slogans whether they pertain to the subject matter or not.

Why is Fox News cool with enriching its Islamic investors? Especially Saudi Princes, who enforce the no-Christianity policy of their nation and support a huge range of human rights abuses...

 

[eyer]

"...Saudi Prince...$300,000."

Wow: that's a lotta bread from a Wahhabi royal elitist...

...it's like me saying, "Here's a quarter, Drixxx - go buy yourself a brain."

Diabolical, isn't it.

No doubt the company one keeps says a lot...wouldn't you agree?

Because News Corp. owner is a foreigner who only became an American to influence U.S. politics to further his private business interests and enrich his personal wealth.

I'm sure the box cutters that were used by the Saudi terrorists to hijack the planes on 9/11 didn't come to more than ten bucks and it defeated the largest most technically advanced military the world has ever known. Dollar amounts really isn't the issue.

Good thing we have smart people like you around to keep track of this stuff.

Dag, couldnt think of anything better to say, sorry.

Yeah, the most technically advanced medical and scientific system in the wold couldn't keep you from being born either...see how shit happens?

Why not get a job, Vette?

because if they made him work more than 20 hours a week they'd cut into his social security checks.

Still can't wrap your brain around the fact the Fox News is in bed with fascist, Islamic dictators and the Republican Party at the same time?

It's bullshit son. If I could I'd be as fucked up as you are. You been talking to LovelyNice again?

How's it bullshit when it's demonstrably true?

Not a conspiracy theory. Just cold, hard, uncomfortable facts. Murdoch's tightest business partners.

Exhibit A:

http://hisvorpal.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/murdoch-and-ailes.jpg

Roger Eugene Ailes (born May 15, 1940) is a right-wing American businessman and president of Fox News Channel and chairman of the Fox Television Stations Group. He was a media consultant for Republican presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush, as well as Rudy Giuliani’s first mayoral campaign in 1989.

Exhibit B:

http://mit.zenfs.com/5/2010/08/alwaleed.jpg

Al-Waleed bin Talal was born to Talal ibn Abd al-Aziz, son of the founding King of Saudi Arabia, Abdul Aziz Al Saud, and Princess Mona Al-Solh, Daughter of Lebanon's first Prime Minister. He is Prince Talal's second son. Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal owns a 7 percent stake in News Corp — the parent company of Fox News — making him the largest shareholder outside the family of News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch.

What's so hard to understand?

For a greed-filled, corrupt, egomaniac billionaire it's called "covering the table".

The more pertinent question should be: can you wrap your brain around the fact of who our president is in bed with?

The vast majority of Americans that voted for him.

So, you are much more concerned about who Robert Murdoch is in bed with than who our president is in bed with?

If that's the case Drixxx, you're just a tool.

Eventually you'll tell us or is cryptic, vague, generalizations good enough?

It is all about making profits. It is not about making America better or stronger.
