So why don’t we actively pursue changes in the media? We raised more than $1b in a few months for an election. I’m sure we can raise enough money to buy controlling stakes in at least some media outlets and start making sure they stop broadcasting propaganda.

Don't be silly, just because you're the biggest shareholder doesn't mean you have any influence...

I know I’m absolutely right. That 5.7% ownership stake gets the holding company (and effectively the Saudi) a vote on News Corp shareholder issues. It doesn’t get him input into Fox News programming.

I have the second largest number of shares in an S-corp and I get to vote on shareholder issues. What I don’t get to do is tell the majority owner how to do business. I have an opinion, which, as you well know, I am happy to share even when it isn’t requested. An opinion doesn’t equate to input into corporate policy.

Say it ain’t so, nully. Tell me you don’t really believe that “Saudi-controlled” claim.

OTOH, Buckey can always be counted on to show up on any birth certificate thread and poo-poo any effort to establish 0bama's actual birth circumstances. Judge his bias and words accordingly...
