Stooges for the Saudis. What birth certificate? FU - Beck and the Leprechaun.

One had a porn and booze addiction - the other is a sex pervert. LOL! what’s with the effing wonky left eye on the Leprechaun in that picture? Paris Hilton has a wonky eye too.

Anyone remember when beck was not a Saudi stooge? He ripped Islam to the point he was getting death threats.

I'd buy media influence in that part of the world if I was a billionaire. Bet I could put a dent in those al jazeera ratings.

Prince Alwaleed has been the 2nd highest
shareholder in News Corp for awhile; now,
Rupert’s returning the favor I guess and
buying into Alwaleed’s Middle East media
empire.

Remember that Alwaleed gave $10M to Giuliani
after 9/11 with the proviso that Rudy state some
blame on behalf of the US first. Thankfully,
Giuliani emphatically refused and the check was
not taken.

Alwaleed apparently extracts what he wants for
his sheckels.

I knew FOX news was changing when I saw that they hired Joe Trippi and a Fox news contributor.

Also, remember during the French Riots when the Saudi ambassador told Fox news to stop covering the riots because the rioters were muslimes. Fox obeyed. I don't trust Fox news.

I, too, sense a new dynamic .. subtle, but there.
I expect there’ll be more changes, as well.

UGH.

Maybe this is why I can’t find Fox tv anywhere on line now...just happened this week....the sites I used all say it’s been removed at Fox’s request I understand...I can get radio but it just isn’t the same.
