The answers might surprise you (or maybe not). Ever wonder why CNN and Time are so blatantly pro-islamic. Ever wonder why these weasels want are tooo eager to toe liberal / islamic propaganda??
A good chunk of AOL Time Warner is owned by Prince Alwaleed Ibn Talal the Saudi billionaire. It is well known that Prince AlWaleed is a front for the Saudi royal family. All of the oil money that is swindled from Aramco the Saudi oil company is "invested" by Prince Al Waleed and his company.

"What percentage does he own?
Last I heard somewhat less than 1%."
How do you think he made all his money.
I liked the "Occupation: Royalty" part. Where do I send my resume?
LMAO! You're joking right?
The article about the arab's purchase of $450,000,000 worth of AOL was from 2002. His average cost was $23 according to the article, TWX is now around $18, so if he still holds those shares they are worth around $355,000,000.
In any event, TWX's total capitalization is $84 Billion, so even if the arab had $1 billion worth he would only have a 1.2% share...hardly enough to dictate CNN's (only one of TWX's many outlets) political bias.
Finally, Time Warner Cable does not offer Al Jazeera...the only major American service that I know does is Dish Network...so if you have that dish...your subscription does aid the distribution of Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera owns CNN
He owns more of FOX news than of CNN!
LOL!

Good summary - thanks! That helps to put it into perspective, but it still bothers me in principle...
Disneyland Resort and Theme Park, Paris, 17.3%
Mickey Mooslim? Going to look more like Itchy and Scratchy cutting heads off.
yes! more facts!
China?
Russia?
The Clinton's?
"Mickey Mooslim? Going to look more like Itchy and Scratchy cutting heads off."
I hope so. I love Itchy and Scratchy. They should have their own spin-off show.
So, do you mean that Alwaleed Ibn Talal's 1% ownership is a "good chunk"??? Sniff.
"He owns more of FOX news than of CNN!"
That explains why Sean Hannity was wearing a turban the other night and Alan Colmes was wearing a burka.
Assuming that it's true that the Saudis do own this big chunk of CNNAOLETC, maybe it's because they want to see the hated infidels aborted before they're born, and to engage in non-procreative relationships.
He's pretty tight with Murdoch. They're buddies.
I thought Air America owned CNN?
"Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, 22%"
That's it! It purely the Ritz-Carlton for me now!
Ping.
Dont you? It gives him enough leverage on the board!!!! Snort
