Fox News hypocrisy

Fox & Friends | 2/20/06

[Dane]

Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends this morning is saying that DPWorld ports is taking over security at US ports when they are not.

And now Kilmeade is saying that a perfectly legitimate business deal in the takeover of P&O ports was manipulated by some sheik.

Hey Brian, your employer Fox News has big share of ownership by a saudi sheik.

Saudi prince buys large share of Fox News

Also Michelle Malkin and Frank Gaffney are always running to get their mugs on the part saudi owned Fox News. How come she is never criticized for appearing on a network part owned by a saudi shiek and giving legitmacy to that shiek.

[Dane]

Kilmeade is really pushing the hillary/schumer/peter king talking points(lie) that DPWorld is going to take over security, when they are not.

And also my "tin foil" point, maybe that saudi shiek who owns part of Fox News is mad that the UAE is diversifying and progressing, while the saudi's shiek "kingdom" is mired in wahabbist regression.

[Dane]

Now Fox News giving prominent coverage of chuckie schumer's statement.

And now Kilmeade is saying that a perfectly legitimate business deal...

You're the one who believes the invasion from Mexico is a perfectly legitimate business deal.

Don't get to excited over what the sportscaster says.

What I shouldn't note when Kilmeade is pushing hillary/schumer talking points.

Actually, the Saudi leader owns 5% of FNC's parent company Newscorp. Dubai owns 100% of DP World. Are you one of DP World's lobbyists?

Huh, that saudi prince saved Fox news from a takeover, so he has influence.

Also I find it ironic that such people as Michelle Malkin and Frank Gaffney give legitmacy to the part saudi owned netwrok, where 15 of the 9/11 hijackers came from.

Oh, there's more folks expressing outrage than just Schumer and Hillary.

"It's unbelievably tone deaf politically at this point in our history," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on Fox News Sunday.

"Most Americans are scratching their heads, wondering why this company from this region now," Graham said.

[Dane]

Also how come Fox News never discloses that they are part owned by a saudi prince, when they are pointing the finger.

Lindsey Graham also said "security should never be outsourced", when a British(home of shoe bomber richard reed and saddam buddy and MP, george galloway) firm was operating from the ports. Where was his "outrage" then.

Also Lindsay Graham was wrong, the port companies don't run or oversee security, DHS does.

The Saudi prince owns 5% of Newscorp's stock, which owns Sky News and various other networks. You are as clueless about this as you are about national security. Do some research before you make these statements.

Thankfully this insane deal will crash and burn because of it. Americans are tired of sending money to support terrorism against ourselves.

[sangrila]

How are you going to rationalize changing your mind when Bush kills this deal. Bush will kill this deal because nobody supports other than his administration.

Huh, having a saudi prince own part of a major News network is not "national security" issue. Maybe you should look in the mirror at the hypocrisy of your statement.

You need to watch grown-up programs if you want the straight skinny. Imus is off today but C-SPAN is going to discuss this subject for the next half hour or so.

"I will do anything, including holding hearings, to stop this."..Peter King R, NY

There is now way this is going to stand and it was a mistake for the President to support it. The American Public is outraged.

There will be more Republicans coming out against this as the day goes on.

[Dane]

How are you going to rationalize changing your mind when Bush kills this deal. Bush will kill this deal because nobody supports other than his administration.

How are you going to rationalize that you have been pushing hillary/schumer misinformation. You don't like it when someone points that out and IMO, people are not as knee jerk as you.

[Condor51]

Don't worry about it. The UAE will hire Illegal Aliens so you'll be very happy.

Go play in the traffic.

Uh the president had nothing to do with the deal. The P&O shareholders accepted DPWorld's offer, but you already knew that, but still decided to push the lies.

[Cagey]

Uh the president had nothing to do with the deal.

His mistake was giving this deal his blessing. You know he did that and that's exactly why you are supporting this.
