out for saudi family profit and the oil/big corporate ceos.

I thought they would always be a bit more...discreet about the agenda...

If what you guess becomes reality, FOX will be in chapter 11 within the year.

Why? The Prince is extremely Western-friendly. And he sure doesn't want to lose an investment.

So because someone owns 5% of a company we've got a problem? They're allowed to invest along with everyone else. They bought fox because fox is a great news outlet that continues to dominate the cable news market

True enough.

Then again the left or "independent" as they like to claim are so desperate that they'll grasp at any straw they can.

I'd bet there aren't many independants left supporting the right, so please feel free to chase the few you have remaining our way. We'll take them, thank you very much.

I am glad you trust your media to them

some good american you are....

Your partisanship just shows how much you would excuse. I am sure of the victims of 9/11 would apreciate the subversion of american media by their assasians.

You seriously need to step back and get on track with america...the world sees this crap and our generation will be judged in history books forever for this black time in americas reputation.

5% is a lot in corporate standards. Is that enough to make him the majority stockholder? If so, that's enough for him to definitely push an agenda-- think KMart with Martha Stewart.

With that said, I'm for it. I hope Fox takes a whole less conservative approach with this guy now owning a chunk of the company.
