Tes Turner used to own it. I don't know that this is that much worse.

A good chunk of AOL Time Warner is owned by Prince Alwaleed Ibn Talal the Saudi billionaire.

And most likely, with a nice satellite link to Al Jezeera...all you have to do is follow the money!! Works every time.

What percentage does he own?

The article you linked to is pretty interesting. However, whereas they said he owned 5% of priceline, they didn't specify a percentage of AOL/Time Warner.

Ok, so the Saudis allegedly control a big chunk of AOL/TW. I can see that possibly making CNN lean in the direction of pro-Islam, but exactly how does that result in making CNN lean liberal? The Saudis run a country that's pretty conservative, socially speaking. Why would they be on board with a pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-religion agenda?

If so, that ownership is well-hidden inside of a bunch of funds.

Funny. The left uses that link to tie it to Bush.

It's not who owns it that matters, it's who runs the news room. Editors pretty much have free reign. It's the lefty journalism schools and reporters making their way up the ranks that is the problem, not who owns it.

Certainly a shareholder with this much stock could influence decisions made by the parent corporation.

So, do you mean that Alwaleed Ibn Talal's 1% ownership is a "good chunk"??? Sniff.
