Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal is the second-biggest shareholder at Fox News [News Corp]. He claims “a very close relationship with Mr. James Murdoch,” saying, “ I would be the first one to nominate him to be the successor of Mr. Rupert Murdoch, God forbid something happens. I have full trust in him...”
James likes AGW and the Palestinians; much like the Prince.
Before entering his Murdoch association, Alwaleed gave a remarkably candid interview in 2002 about what Arab News described as his belief that “Arabs should focus more on penetrating U.S. public opinion as a means to influencing decision-making” ...
“Arab countries can influence U.S. decision-making ‘if they unite through economic interests, not political,’ (Alwaleed) stressed. ‘We have to be logical and understand that the U.S. administration is subject to U.S. public opinion. We (Arabs) are not so active in this sphere (public opinion). And to bring the decision-maker on your side, you not only have to be active inside the U.S. Congress or the administration but also inside U.S. society.’” ...
Alwaleed would seem to have hit on a Fox strategy some time after Rudy Giuliani refused to accept, on behalf of a 9/11-shattered New York City, his $10 million check-cum-lecture that essentially justified the al-Qaida attacks as having been a response to U.S. foreign policy. ...
Alwaleed has bragged that it only took a phone call to ensure that Fox coverage of Muslim rioting in France not be described as “Muslim” rioting in France, a boast News Corp. has never denied.
How does Alwaleed’s stake in News Corp. affect what Fox News doesn’t cover?
If they don’t report, we can’t decide. This, for a sharia prince, could be worth millions.
This, for a sharia prince, could be worth millions priceless.
