FOX NEWS AND THE SAUDIS

Regular FOX news watchers have noticed the increasing Saudi influence at FOX News ever since the French riots of 2005 when after one phone call, FOX newscasters stopped calling the Muslim rioters Muslims. Now it veers away from any real news in the war on Islamic jihad and pursues missing girls, missing blond girls,  missing pregnant girls, missing pregnant blond girls, missing murdered blond girls, missing murdered pregnant girls, and ….. car chases, spousal murders and particularly blond murders (save Fred Barnes and the Beltway Boys and Hume’s news hour and E.D. Hill ).

Fox News has long been considered a beacon to those that distrust
televised liberal media, meaning every channel other than Fox. One of the
indicators of the station’s right-leaning bent is that it has, for the most
part, gotten the ‘War on Terrorism’ correct. However, with the undue influence
of a Saudi Prince related to militant causes and with this month’s acquisition
of Beliefnet, a religious resource website that proudly promotes radical Islam,
signs show that the war coverage may soon be taking a turn for the worse.

In September of 2005, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal purchased 5.46 per cent
of Class B voting shares in News Corp, the company that owns Fox News and a
number of other media and entertainment entities. This had replaced the three
per cent stake in Class A non-voting shares bin Talal had previously held
through his investment corporation, Kingdom Holding Company (KHC).

With his newfound voting rights, bin Talal stated his intention of supporting
Rupert Murdoch, the principal owner of News Corp, helping Murdoch to stay in
power and avoid hostile takeover by other interested investors. Some have said
that this was like making a deal with the devil, as Murdoch has been left
vulnerable to the whims of an individual that has been involved in despicable
causes.

In April of 2002, bin Talal had donated $27
million during a Saudi telethon that was raising money for the families of
suicide bombers. As well, he had given $500,000 to the Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to be used towards the distribution and
propagation of a set of Islamist books for American libraries. The set included
Jamal Badawi’s Gender Equity in Islam, which sanctions the beating of
women by their husbands, and a version of the Quran, Abdullah Yusuf Ali’s The
Meaning of THE HOLY QURAN, which has been banned by the Los Angeles school
system.

Utilizing his position of power within Fox News (today, he is the second
largest shareholder), bin Talal has worked to influence programming at the
station.
