The Arabs bought them out.

The Murdoch family owns between 35-40% of Newscorp stock.

Kingdom Holdings owns 7%

They are second largest stockholder but by a very large margin and have no director slots of note.

The Saudi company also owns nice blocks in the following:

Amazon
AOL/Time Warner
Apple Inc.
Canary Wharf
Citigroup
Coca Cola
Compaq
Disneyland Paris
eBay
Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
Ford
Hotel George V, Paris
Hewlett-Packard
McDonald's
Motorola
Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts
News Corporation
PepsiCo
Priceline.com Inc
Procter & Gamble
The Walt Disney Company
Twitter[5]

I'm not sure how political they are but for folks living in tents before oil just a few generations ago they have sure learned to appreciate money rather fast.
