Right-wing Saudi dynasty endorses right-wing Fox News dynasty.
Right-wing Saudi dynasty endorses right-wing Fox News dynasty.
This week, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al-Saud of Saudi Arabia — the largest shareholder of News Corp outside the Murdoch family — endorsed Rupert Murdoch’s son James to succeed the elder Murdoch when he retires. Alwaleed, King Abdullah’s nephew, is Saudi Arabia’s richest person and the world’s 22nd wealthiest (Murdoch is number 132). He holds large stakes in many American companies, including Citi. The prince met with Murdoch last week to discuss a “future potential alliance with News Corp,” and he told Charlie Rose Wednesday about his respect for the Murdoch dynasty:
ALWALEED: I met with Mr. Rupert Murdoch and Mr. James Murdoch. We are always in tough. I’m second biggest shareholder there. And no doubt that News Corp is moving on all the fronts. You’ve seen how FOX rating is skyrocketing. … James is now managing Europe and Asia. … I’ll be the first one to nominate him to be the successor of Mr. Rupert Murdoch, god forbid if something happens to him. … I have full confidence in [James], full trust in him, and he’s capable. He’s really Rupert Murdoch in the making, and he’s almost there now.
Alwaleed came to most Americans’ attention following the 9/11 terror attacks when New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani turned down a $10 million donation from Alwaleed over a controversial comment he had made about U.S. foreign policy. As Media Matters noted, several Fox News personalities criticized Alwaleed at the time. Fox News host Sean Hannity called Alwaleed’s comment an “egregious, outrageous, unfair offense.” That was before Alwaleed purchased a seven percent stake in its parent company.

birds of a feather and all.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:14 pmwonders how many of the 9/11 saudi`s was under his pay roll.
and how much he contributes to the cause today?
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:17 pmI wonder what the reaction would be if FAUX “News” viewers knew about this ownership stake…
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:18 pmScrew FOX and the the so-called Saudi “royalty” …….
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:19 pmWhat a boss….hang your head America.

What a boss….hang your head America.
well after yesterdays court ruling he just might be the next boss of the usa.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:22 pmDear “America First” Anti-immigration crowd,
Could you explain to me why you vehemently support the takeover of the majority of the media outlets (including the transmission of news) by a foreigner (I believe Australian) who clearly has strong ties to and apparently in bed with them brown skinned A-rhabs ?
While we’re at it, can you explain why your hand-picked Supreme Court Judges advanced your believe that the corporations don’t hold enough power in the US Political System already ?
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:28 pmFOX ‘news’ (sponsored by saudi oil)
what’s new.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:28 pmDo y’all suppose that James Inhofe would want to racially profile this fella… y’know, if he flew commercial?
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:35 pmHere’s YOUR Messiah, Teabaggers!
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:36 pmMaplestreet(#7)-If there’s one thing we’ve learned by now, it’s that logic doesn’t work on these people. No matter how much we try, we’ll never get through to them. A+ for effort though.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:37 pmOf course, they would encourage one another. They are so much alike.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:38 pmLet’s see if Fox news advertises this!
The rest of the media should announce this. In fact, I’d like to see Giuliani talk about this on one of his many visits to Fox News.
yesterday I asked about how many corporations are foreign owned and would now have greater influence on our elections –
this guy holds a large stake in Citibank.
the SCOTUS has sold us down the river.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:40 pmI suppose that explains why FAUX has never mentioned that 16 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudis and their viewers are convinced that Iran is the problem in Iraq.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:43 pmBe interesting to see what the Teabaggers and the other “real” Americans think about Rupert and Fox’s snug relationship with the country where Bin Laden is from? But then again, the Bush family has had close ties with the Saudis for years (remember Bandar Bush?) and the righties didn’t seem to mind. I guess the wingnut’s definition of treason only applies to those like Michael Moore who expose it within the right wing’s own ranks.
Just saying . . .
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:43 pmSoo…… when Prince Alaweed’s Fox News exercises it’s new SCOTUS given right to free speech and influences the next election…..
My prediction: nothing will happen, nada, Jack Shit
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:46 pmrighties love being ruled by Saudi Princes.
torm, and patrick, and pez and fuzzy – all lined up to kiss the ring.
they’ll be the perfect subjects.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:48 pmMaybe they both think they’re part of the shadow elite. but of coarse they’re not. they’re chumps. but that’s how it works. There’s only one elite in the shadows.
President Obama is doing just fine, excellent by normal standards, brilliantly by recent standards.
The only way to repair the wear and teir on America by the shadow corporate elite is slowly and carefully. The Republican is impulsive and irresponsible. The Democrat is cautious and accountable.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:48 pmWasn’t there a law that said that foreign individuals and/or corporations could not own any broadcasting channels? The law was in place so foreign entities could not circumvent our democracy via their own televised propaganda. And if I remember correctly it was another pretty sound law struck down by Reagan’s deregulation. And now we’ve got Alwaleed bin Talal al-Saud sponsoring Rupert Murdoch.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:50 pmDon’t forget that the Saudi family is a nice family of people but their TV viewing habits can’t be expected to be typical of anybody.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:51 pmGoing to shock you and agree with the sentiment a lot of you are sharing. There is not much independent media left in this country. I appreciate websites like this and many others right and left that report the news the others won’t, and allow for open discussion of the news between ordinary people and not just talking heads.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:51 pm20 Bawreck Omerica says: – non sequitur. POX troll.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:52 pmThis item is not surprising given what the Supreme court allowed to happen yesterday…
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:53 pmSaudi Arabia has extreme amounts of money to funnel into a corporation such as fox and get the tards stirred up or quited down..
Just one of the many benefits John Roberts, Alito, and the other asswipes that were placed on the Supreme court by reagan, clinton, bush(s) put into place yesterday…
El@3, When it comes to the average Faux viewer, does it really matter? These people are brain-washed on a daily basis. Unfortunity, my father is one of them. Just today he was telling me how the Obama White House had an ornament with Mao on it and Glen Becks ‘Special’ about fascism. Dear ole Dad is going of the deep end.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:53 pmyou know when you have a good story on TP.
no trolls –
they have absolutely no way to reply to this story.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:53 pmahh.. spoke too soon – hadn’t seen Bawreck’s diversion attempt..
‘oh hey .. look over here!’
not working troll.. care to comment on the article?
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:55 pmIt seems are resident troll doesn’t read history. Reagan’s were about the same in his presidency. And don’t forget Georgie Boy. After his callous inderference towards the victims of Katrina, he dipped to thirty and basically never bounced back.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:55 pmOK realictically speaking, they can OWN the USA.
Thank you, the five blinded scj, for making a way, tu chimpy.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Just thinking about repugs/teaturds’ racist concerns about immigrants?
IMHO, the USA will be eaten from the inside out (big business mafia games). But these fools are too stupid to understand that, after all these stupid fools rally with them now.
I picture big screens everywhere tuned to faux…what movie was that?
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:56 pm@29, Hey if you are bored and don’t like it, leave. You won’t be missed.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:57 pmBawreck:
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:58 pmNo, you’re wrong…The picture was of George Bush 2nd holding hands with the saudi prince (God only knows what happened behind closed doors)
bowing in asian culture is normal behavior and a sign of respect troll
holding hands with saudi’s and practically frenching them is not
care to comment on FOX being partially owned by a saudi prince?

Actually most times the President regardless of who he is going to get unfair amount of grief for what is wrong and too much credit for when things are good, just goes with the job.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:59 pm@33, LOL! You are dumb. It was BUSH who held the hand of the Saudi Prince! Don’t forget, the Bush’s are VERY close to the Saudi’s. What a dumb-as*.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:59 pmOh I’m so happy that one royal has approved the succession plans of another royal. James Murdoch has already taken on the BBC:
“The corporation (BBC) is incapable of distinguishing between what is good for it, and what is good for the country,” he clamed. “Funded by a hypothecated tax, the BBC feels empowered to offer something for everyone, even in areas well served by the market. The scope of its activities and ambitions is chilling.”
Oh the horror – offering “something for everyone” – even in areas well served by the market no less! The nerve of the BBC.
“Dumping free, state-sponsored news on the market makes it incredibly difficult for journalism to flourish on the internet.” Yah, right.
Interesting fact, James Murdoch’s wife, Kathryn Hufschmid, works for Bill Clinton’s Clinton Climate Initiative. Is that why Rupert endorsed Hillary way back when?
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:59 pmToo bad we can’t attach pictures.
you mean.. too bad you’re stupid and don’t know how. It’s called a link.. if you have a picture – go ahead and share it – stop making excuses.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:00 pmFox News viewers are to f _ _ _ing stupid to realize that this guy is helping to shpae the pee wee brains!!!!
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:00 pmpez@41, Who are you kidding? S-Chip, Sonia Sotomayor, Respect around the Globe, Lily Ledbetter….. What has BUSH accomplished? Two wars, dismantling the Constitution, Torture… Need I go on?
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:04 pmWoopie…the president shakes hands and is respectful. Remember in 92 when Bush puked on the Japanese prime minister? Let me remind you. And how about when he was in China he walked into the door and stared around like an idiot? Let me remind you of that.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:05 pmBawreck Omerica -
you showed a link to him shaking people’s hands.. what is your point? Do you think it’s right for Bush to walk around holding hands with Saudi’s like they are a young gay couple in love?
as far as being OWNED.. no, you are – by a Saudi Prince.. just like FOX and Rupert Murdoch..
care to comment on that?
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:05 pm@43, ‘Weakness Owned’? How ‘Weak’.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:06 pmThe first Bush clip was HW…second was W.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:06 pmhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hS8ww_QfVM
Bush and saudi prince..
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:07 pmBiz@45, I an still pissed how MSM covered the incident when Bush tried to exit that locked door. Bush was RUNNING AWAY from tough questions. He was to cowardly to answer, so he FLED. If Obama did that? MSM would be all over him.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:08 pmpezmiztix,
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:10 pmJapan is one of our oldest allies in East Asia. We have lots of military bases there and their economy is important to us. China has huge amounts of trade with us, lends us lots of money, owns a huge section of our debt and is a rising power. So it’s really important for the US to maintain good relations with these countries. There is no narcissism or ignorance involved.
Wow, that’s a lot of handshakes to watch.
wow.. you’re an idiot.
why would anyone watch a video of our president shaking people’s hands?
why would anyone compile a lame ass video of our president shaking hands?
It’s normal in most cultures and expected.. you are searching everywhere for something to discredit our president – and all you can come up with is he shakes people’s hands?
sad.

by the japan? japan is a country, remember us dropping two atomic bombs on the japan, how do you thing the china felt about that.
you know you are not even smart enough to be ignorant, you unpatriotic coward.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:13 pmWhat other government job can one hold for life?
Politicizing the scotus equates to mafiaing.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:13 pmYou were already proven wrong on this a couple of days ago, when you then starting whining about wanting to see Obama’s college records.

why do people think that bringing up bush’s shortcomings makes nobama’s any less embarrassing?
when were you going to point out a shortcoming of Obama’s? International respect… is that a ’shortcoming’ to you?
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:14 pmP.D.,
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:14 pmIt was embarrassing to watch that. Seriously, the countries we consider us allies…we don’t need them thinking that we are a lot stupider than they thought. Bush did not help us out at all.
The trolls must be squirming in their stools about their only source of entertainment being owned by Saudi oil princes.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:15 pmCan’t comment on the subject, just attack the President.
I say ignore these trolls. This very thread is about the cozy relation with Murdoch and the Saudis, and the trolls are bashing Obama. I think the trolls live in a world of denial, that or they are on serious Meds.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:16 pmhistory will view obama as the worst presidents ever
not a chance.. not even in your wildest dreams.. and you know it.
but Dubya is ranked 43 out of 44 currently
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:17 pmAs is typical with threads about FAUX, the trolls flock to their defense. And yet, we will never see a one of them actually address the question at hand.
Why should foreign nationals have a voice in American politics?
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:17 pmHAHAHAHAHA
ms rudy is as dirty as the rest of them. Can somebody say burnie?
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:18 pmnorris?
you obviously didn’t watch the video
of course I didn’t – why would I?
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:19 pmI’m very afraid for this country. We are basically being sold out. Literally. Many nations own real estate in America. Conglomerates own Big Business. Now the Supreme Court is allowing Corporations to basically run their own people in elections. I am very scared indeed.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:20 pmP.D.
Technically, “crank” isn’t a “med”.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:20 pmIt’s an indication of how embarrassing the trolls find this story that they’re so desperate to throw dead squirrels on the floor.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:22 pmwouldn’t bother watching that one in #73 either.
because you’re an idiot – and anything you put up isn’t worth my time.
on the other hand if I was discussing something with someone with some form of intellect I’d click their links.. but instead I’m dealing with a teabagging worm… so nah, no thanks.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:22 pmThe Saudi royals and Fox News are going to partner up? Huh. Makes you wonder if these two bribed the TREASONOUS U.S. SUPREME COURT RECENTLY? Hey, wouldn’t surprise me.

January 22nd, 2010 at 6:23 pmHonestly it’s probably something that has been in the back of the minds of every sane working person for the last 30 years. I just never expected it to happen or at least happen the way that it did.

heres a question for you
which country would help us out of our problems cause they know we are looking out for there interests as well.
the china
the japan
give you a hint its not the one with a C in the name.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:29 pmtombaker,
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:30 pmI doubt that they would be using stun guns. Something like this would probably showing up at their doors. You can’t have an empire without your foot soldiers to do the dirty work.
doocy won’t get to go though.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:30 pmCan’t spell. Can’t count. Can’t answer a question.
Yep. It’s another in the endless line of sockpuppets from our favorite sockpuppet factory.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:30 pm.. wow, really troll? – a bigot AND a racist..
see what we are up against.
you are a tool.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:31 pmIt’s not surprising to any of us that Fox News is teaming up with the terrorists: the Bushes for years and now the Saudi royals. How much longer will be before the bin Ladens jump on board? I bet by summer!
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:32 pmThe Middle East knew the US weakness and worked it very well. Capture from within without firing a shot. As the Supreme Court now allows Corporations to control who gets elected we will see voters don’t count. Yes our elections will be picked by Big Business and once that is completed our Supreme Court Justices will have term limits. Each Justice will be picked by our new Foreign Leaders by way of his elected puppet. It’s not like this has never been done before in history. It’s take a while and first dumbing down the citizens and Greed must take place. As the see with must of our current Law Makers they are in the job for the money and not the people. With Teabagger, Blue Dogs and other wacko groups it was easy. But when Massachusetts voted for a Center Fold Full Monty Senator the Foreign Businesses knew they had won the USA.

January 22nd, 2010 at 6:35 pmlux,
One must remember who we are dealing with. Intellect, logic, and consistency are entirely absent from the average troll. And this one is worse than most. He tried to kill himself the day Obama was elected and the bullet passed through his head without touching a major organ.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:37 pmpete, I hope you’re right about emailing the staff at TP when flagging does no good.
I just emailed them and included a couple of choice quotes from our disturbed little friend here. I’ll be interested to see what comes of it.

there ya go, mr. Duke! I figured it was only a matter of time before a troll decided to take pride in the fact that saudi princes invest in fox..
It’s just like yesterday when Lt. cumstain told us how it’s good that the corporations are given unlimited political reign with their money.. because the rich are smart and they should control us!

wouldn’t not owning guns mean you aren’t afraid?
do you think stocking up on canned goods and weaponry is a sign of being brave? Sounds like you are the scared one.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:49 pmJust keep in mind here…. with corporations given free rein to control our political system, these guys can participate freely in that happy scenario. Just think, Bin Laden, Inc., Ahmadinejad, Inc., etc…..
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:51 pmI’m sure that Alwaleed can hardly wait for an opportunity to use his Citigroup holdings and possible Newscorp holdings to influence American elections. He is within his rights to do so now that SCROTUS has destroyed American elections.

pezmiztix
when you talk about saudi princes it’s inevitable you will bring up the Bush family.. they were honorary members – they’re practically one in the same.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:55 pmTrolls are parrots for Fox — the blonde bimbos who inhabit Faux News say, on one hand that Obama has “done nothing;” he “wasted his first year” — then on the other hand, they say he is “dismantling America,” “destroying our economy” and has brough us “socialism.”
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:55 pmThey make no sense whatsoever – and the trolls believe them.
Then they come here and shit all over the place.

That can’t be right.
Are you saying repugs can’t own guns?

January 22nd, 2010 at 7:00 pmThe trolls, predictably, continue to evade the question:
Why should foreign nationals have a voice in American politics?
Obviously, they must like the shit Rupert (an Australian) shovels and must, logically, support the Saudi influence. But? They seem reluctant to answer why this acceptable to them.
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:01 pmsarahp is already in line, wagging her roadworn tail for the Prince, and hoping for an invite…if Rupe chooses to take her, she’ll know for sure that that weirdo’s time slot will really be hers.

Heck! They are going all the way back to Woodrow Wilson and beyond. And still not a peep explaining why they eat up every word dispensed by an Australian who’s backed by the Saudi regime.
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:39 pmIt all comes together:
The Al Q has seen that Faux News does a better job of destroying America than they ever could – and without firing a shot.
Corporations can now contribute unlimited resources to elections. Now think about how few of the really big corporations are purely USA based. Think about Haliburton moving to the middle east.
On a more local front, there is a strong push to move taxation from property taxes to sales taxes. For the moment ignoring the regressive nature, do not corporations own significant property. And do not businesses receive exemptions from sales taxes for materials they plan to resale ? And if corporations don’t pay taxes, don’t the people have to pay more?
And if corporations pay less taxes, doesn’t that give them more money to funnel to the politicos ?

I thought sure I would see Ronnie Raygun when I clicked your link — you got me — and you’re absolutely right!!!
Republican Senators gave Moon a room in the Senate Building for a ceremony in which he appointed himself the Messiah.

January 22nd, 2010 at 7:52 pmGive it twenty years…everything in America Inc. will be named after Reagan.
Hell, conservatards are still stuck on Ted Kennedy’s car crash 41 years ago. It says something when they have to go back over four decades for “evidence” of how “criminal” the Democrats are.
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:53 pmPretty much. After you throw in domestic violence, it pretty much rules out the teabagger faction from firearm ownership. That is why they cry so much about any efforts to get rid of the “Gun Show Loophole” as most of them are unable to pass NICS background checks.
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:55 pmgo figure, two terrorist organizations joining hands, pox news and the saudis

They have to go back farther to find anything good to say about Republicans, you’ll notice. Trolls are always in here flapping their gums about Abe Lincoln and Civil Rights legislation as if that had anything to do with the current Party.
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:59 pmThe best part of the GOPs fixation with Lincoln is that they basically kicked him out and he was not a Republican in his second term (he ran under the “National Union” party).
January 22nd, 2010 at 8:05 pmThe Bushes and Cheneys are celebrating tonight.
TREASON PAYS.
For THEM, anyway.
And in THIS lifetime, maybe.
Eternity comes SOON enough.
Jesus will be judging us ALL.

January 22nd, 2010 at 9:03 pmRemember when Jimmy Carter was dealing with the advent of OPEC? Remember how he was ridiculed by the RW media when he said we had to conserve and develop US based technologies to deal with SA oil stanglehold on our economy? I do. I also remember Regan’s first acts were to remove the solar hotwater panels from the White House and remove the Department of Energy from a cabinet level post. Who was the mover behind the puppet Reagan? George HW Bush. He made a deal to sell out our best long term interests for fabulous wealth and continued oil dependence. Bush won, we lost.
I’ve tried to make people aware for years that Kingdom Hoildings was the #2 investor in NewsCorp…any wonder why Fox News was such a big supporter of the war with Iraq? Who benefited? Not us, We spent trillions of USD and thousands of lives. Even though 17 of 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia in the 9/11 attack, we exited Saudi Arabia military bases and made sure the #3 oil reserves were off the world market. Saudi Arabia is using our money to kill our Democracy.
Anyone that watches Fox News is getting their opinions shaped by Saudi Arabia’s demands. What a joke that these people are such morons and continue to vote against their best interests.
January 22nd, 2010 at 9:07 pmAl Qaeda = Republican Party
They’ve done far more damage as a political party than they could ever do as an external threat.
January 22nd, 2010 at 9:16 pmWith the Republican Majority ruling on Citizens United vs. FEC, they are allowing Exxon-Mobil to spend whatever they want on gaming US elections – they made $50BB in profits last year…how much of that will guarantee the welfare of the House of Saud?
January 22nd, 2010 at 9:19 pmSo Fox is owned by Muslim *terrorists*. That explains it all. LOL

El@3, When it comes to the average Faux viewer, does it really matter? These people are brain-washed on a daily basis. Unfortunity, my father is one of them. Just today he was telling me how the Obama White House had an ornament with Mao on it and Glen Becks ‘Special’ about fascism. Dear ole Dad is going of the deep end.
Ahh yeah I heard about that on Media Matters. Sheesh the rightwingers can make a mountain out of a molehill. If it makes you feel any better, my dad is also a huge Glenda BleckerBoobieStien fan, as well as a huge fan of LimpBoob, Hannity, et al. My dad’s such a huge fan of BleckerBoobieStien that he has both of BeckerBoobie’s books as well Mark Levin’s “Liberty and Tyranny” and he’s always trying to give me his copy of “Liberty and Tyranny“, because he says that it’s “educational”. Ummm no it’s not educational, unless you think that crazy conspiracy theories are “educational”.
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:17 pmRepugs had another bad week.
1. They continued their hate toward humanity.
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:17 pm2. They continued their ignorance on medical emergencies.
3. mooseyak is proved she’s dumber than ever.
4. mcdiaper’s wife and daughter plus myob bill slap equal?
5. They continued to deny our safety.

Haha sucks to be them. Why do they hate the rest of us so much?
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:21 pmAND of course
6. They show us how stupid they are when they side with companies instead of people.
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:22 pmI guess a better question would be: Why are wingnuts so scared of “reality” that they choose to live in their own little world and ignore those of us who live in the “real world?”
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:24 pmHmm I wonder where all of the vote down trolls are.. Is it possible that they chose not to troll this thread because they might get challenged with “facts” or anything?
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:26 pmOh my, kissy, kissy. After the SCOTUS decision, does this mean that the Saudi’s will be writing our laws?

I hope not, but with the way things are going, the Saudi’s will be writing a lot of our laws. Especially any law dealing with foreign policy and oil, kind of like how BushieBoy handled lawmaking.
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:55 pmHey Bawreck Omerica and pezmiztix – while you’re whining about your perceived poor diplomacy by Obama – what do you think about Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al-Saud’s stake in FAUX News? Gonna keep watching?

Maybe it’s not so funny anymore? Maybe they realize that being dickheads that support anti-democratic initiatives is stupid? Maybe they finally are figuring out that we’re not the enemy…but the people that they’ve enabled, are? Or maybe they’re out getting wasted tonight. Any of the above are operative.

I think that finding out that a big chunk of FAUX News is controlled by an Arab Muslim broke their poor little brains.
January 23rd, 2010 at 3:08 amOh, speaking of Presidents bowing, here’s Richard M. Nixon bowing to Mao Zedong.

January 23rd, 2010 at 10:13 amTHIS IS WHY WE NEED TO GO GREEN, TO TAKE AWAY THESE SCUMBAG’s POWER OVER US. No oil, no money, no power.
I hope you fly over my house in that ridiculous jet, and I get throw some birds into your flightpath you traitor to humanity.
Alwaleed-ee Alwaleed-dum
Here is a link to details about that plane he is sitting in the throne in. I am sure there is room for a bomb somewhere in there. Oh, there I said bomb, now the NSA will be all over my shit for threatening to blowup a royal prince. HEY, let me tell you something, we should blow up ALL ROYAL FAMILIES ON EARTH PERIOD.

The Arabs endorse a network owned and operated by an Austrailian and viewed primarily by rightwing fascist leaning fringe.
January 23rd, 2010 at 11:01 amThe Saudi FINANCIERS OF TERRORISM
are the majority owners in Fox PROPAGANDA (”news”).
And the Bushes are tied in with THEM and the Bin Ladens.
And their TREEZIN-bagger supporters LOVE it.
And HATE America, of course…
January 23rd, 2010 at 11:12 amThe World is far more complicated. Are We ready?
How in the hell did those that caused 9/11 become the spokespersons for the US?
Did the Christians sell their soul to the devil?
Has anyone question what happened to the UPI? The UPI was the premier news organization that was a responsible and dedicated to accuracy that was competing with AP (Associated Press) that brought legions that communicated the news with respect for their accuracy.
The UPI was sold to Saudi Government.
“Fair and Balanced” news is now going to be for humor.
America is in a crisis that depends on information that is accurate and not based on opinions. We are in a crisis. This comes at the worst time as opinions are the news.
This is the Sara Palin dream to have this type of media. The ratings will be up to the investors.
History will be the judge when they say; “America, you were out FOXed”
January 23rd, 2010 at 12:35 pmWhat a suprise..NOT!!
January 23rd, 2010 at 1:27 pmThey sound like a match made in heaven.
Anyone know the wedding day?
So I guess liberal atheists like me can look forward to getting my head chopped off when the Saudi Arabian monarchy finishes buying America.
Oh, goody!

Nah the worst the could do would be to cut off one of your hands or gang-rape you, but I don’t think they’d chop your head off. Just remember to wear your burqua!
January 23rd, 2010 at 4:22 pmThank you Fox news for keeping us infromed.
January 23rd, 2010 at 4:53 pmHow come the picture posted of the Prince makes me think he should invest in a whole lot of cheese and Goodfellas?

January 24th, 2010 at 12:18 amRupurt Murdoch is NOT an American.
He does not give a rat’s ass about America.
He’s a megalomaniac with “other priorities”.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:24 amThis is scarey stuff. The FCC fell down on its job to protect the american airwaves and to limit power across the media spectrum. While they expressed their phoney outrage over a torn dress, exposed boobie and a curse word or two, the economic aristocrats and foreign moguls were investng heavily in our media and skewing the message of democracy across the country. No one especially someone like Rupert Murdock should have so much uncurtailed power in our country. And now, we not only get gorged by foreign oil interests, we will be reading about how lucky we are to have friendly foreign interests driving much of our economy and influencing the evolution of our democracy. But then again Cifus, has really done a job on the US also. We really need to examine who these people are and what kinds of deals they are working on.
