I am an American FIRSTER, but my favorite newspaper is owned by Rev. Sun Myung Moon, founder of the Unification Church.

The saudis own a bit of Fox.

The Saudis own a bit of everything.

Clinton is skating on very thin ice. The US has a law, called the Foreign Agent Registration Act by which any US citizen representing a foreign interest / enterprise is required by law to register as an agent of that COUNTRY.

If the President were awake, the Justice Department would be investigating.

[Mo1]

All these names sure keep to be popping up lately

[onyx]

Oh please.

[processing please hold]

They certainly do.

I just hate the way Fox caved in and stopped using the word muslim during the french 'youth riots'.

Saudi Prince Calls Murdoch And Changes Fox News

During last month’s street riots in France, Fox News ran a banner during a news segment, reading: “Muslim riots.” Billionaire Saudi Prince al-Walid bin Talal, who owns 5.5% of Fox News, was unhappy with the tagline:

I picked up the phone and called Murdoch… (and told him) these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of poverty. Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from Muslim riots to civil riots.

The Justice Department can't investigate while the President is asleep?

Is everything Bush's fault?

Do they have to investigate only when he's awake? So, it's Bush's fault?

[BigSkyFreeper]

It's my favorite newspaper too. In fact, I subscribe to the weekly national editon of that paper. It's more informative than TIME or Newsweek, and less aggrevating.

That should be posted to #23 not me.

Of course not! If it is good, then, . . . well, . . . then it is just ignored. So I guess everything bad really IS Bush's fault! < /sarcasm>

Yeah, I noticed that after I posted. It's been corrected. :)

I know "we" are watching Burkle. Let's hope his name continues to pop up. People need to learn about him.

A junior-Soros, but dangerous as well.

“Yucaipa’s chief marketing guy is Bill Clinton. Burkle pays Clinton $10 million a year for his services—which are mainly to drum up money in Dubai. Bill flies to Dubai so often on Burkle’s 757 that he calls it “Air Ron.” Clinton, of course, has lately been defending the Dubai Ports deal, while his wife opposes it. Oh, and also on the Yucaipa Cos board is the Rev. Jesse Jackson.”


Isn't it interesting that we almost never hear about these kinds of relationships and connections on the Dem side of the aisle via Mikey Moore and his ilk or the lamestream media? Instead all we hear is "Bush/Carlyle Group!" "Cheney/Halliburton!" "Bush/Prince Bandar!"

Shouldn't the unbiased, impartial, truth-seeking (ha) LSM be letting the American public know about all of it? I know, dumb question.

[Grampa Dave]

Actually Clintoon is Burkle's bag man. One can only imagine the money Clintoon carries back and forth in Air Ron 1.
