What is up with this flood of “FOX News is controlled by the Saudis” stories? I don’t necessary take FOX as the gospel truth, but I have a hard time believing that a <10% stake gets you such an iron fist of control. Smells a bit like a coordinated propaganda effort.

The Saudi’s need Fox to keep Obama up against Iran.

I wondered about that, too.

This is the third story of this in about 5 hours. (or variation of)

Yes it does. Part of the "Fox News Is Evil" crowd turning down the blinding rhetoric a bit and trying to insinuate "evil intentions" little by little.

Somehow I just don't see the people who run Fox News as catering their highly successful commercial product to a 7% saudi interest. It ain't happening.
