Muslim stakes in Western media are minimal. Billionaire Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal owns 5.46 percent of media conglomerate News Corp., the Rupert Murdoch-run group behind the Fox News Channel. The U.S. channel is generally seen as right-wing and no friend of Arab or Muslim interests.

A US channel generally seen as right-wing by liberal critics of Rupert Murdoch who've been hounding him in England and Australia since the 1960s.

More aware viewers see News Corp. executives giving money to Democrat presidential campaigns.

Fox News is to the right of CNN but CNN US is to the right of CNN Europe/World. Doesn't mean a thing.

Try buying part of the state-owned media outlets in their countries.

Agree, weegee, in the end they are all just one big pile of "bleep".
