Looks like there is a chance that Fox News will soon become the Dhimmi channel.

FoxNews has an official anti-terror stance?

Allah the news that's fit to print?

Owning a mere 5.46% can influence Fox News? I would certainly hope not!

The jet-setting prince is transforming himself into a businessman-cum-political-activist. Sure, he's still got his $10 billion stake in Citigroup. But in Saudi Arabia this nephew of the king has called for a range of reforms: elections, women's rights and job creation. And he's publicly criticized the state-owned oil company, Saudi Aramco. Plus, he's a vocal supporter of the U.S.—and has set up centers at universities in Cairo and Beirut to teach the American political system. On his latest spin through the U.S., in January, he met with former U.S. Presidents Carter, Clinton and Bush to talk about what he calls "narrowing the gap between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia."


The guy's net worth is 21 Billion. Sounds more like a savvy businessman than a political activist to me.

If we see Greta's burka fly away in the next hurricane, then we know Fox News is with the Islamofascists.

Didn't Guliani tell this guy to shove that $10M check up his keester?

Just ducky. There is no news to watch anymore as it is.

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.

5.46 % is large ?

[sheik yerbouty]

He wants to turn it into "Walid's World".

[softwarecreator]

5% is hardly a LARGE share and I doubt if the other 95% of the shares would allow Saudis to run the network.  Seems more like they are looking for a solid investment.  Of course, I say this with a "we'll see" attitude and reserve the right to change my opinion as the situation develops.

Are we witnessing an "Oil-for-Fox" scandal in the making?
This is disturbing.

Discussed at length on earlier thread.

saudi prince buys share of Fox News

Also it may seem nitpicky techinal, he didn't buy a 5% of Fox News, but a 5% share of Murdoch's conglomerate News Corp.

Also there is specualtion that the saudi prince buying a 5% share is insurance to Murdoch to stave off a hostile takeover feom John Malone's Liberty Media.

Looks like there is a chance that Fox News will soon become the Dhimmi channel.

If this reporter for an Israeli publication I've never heard of (or you, for that matter, anti-infidel) believe there is a "Fox Corporation" to buy a share of, he/she/you don't know your brains from Shinola.

There is no "Fox Corporation" that is responsible for the content of the Fox News Channel. The name of the corporation that operates Fox News is Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, based in Australia. And the idea that somehow one minor Saudi investor could somehow tip the balance of Fox News in a pro-Islamist direction is pure unadulterated moonbattery.

Whoever the anonymous author of this nonsense is, s/he needs to listen to General Honore: "Don't get stuck on stupid, reporter!"

[Eccl 10:2]

Inevitably, this is what happens when we pour billions upon billions of dollars into the Islamic Oil Company's coffers. Eventually it is going to come back to bite us, percent by percent.

We must promote energy independence now. We don't necessarily have to achieve it, but we have to be able to use it as a threat.

Talal also owns a chunk of CNN via his control of AOL Time Warner shares:
