You want real news? Start by turning off teeheevee news. Continue by keeping the teeheevee off. Ain’t no real news there, just the pictures they want you to see. And there are none that they don’t want you to see.

Is it true that the Saudis own a big chunk of Fox?

FOX is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

The Saudis hate the Iranians. They would love to give them a black eye if they could.

Not in public and not in the presence of infidels. There is solidarity between Muslim sects when it comes to the Jihad against the Kuffar.

I do think Murdoch sold 20% to a foreign entity, and if I recall, it was a middle-eastern buyer.

No, the Saudis hate (and fear) the Iranians more than us. They make no secret of it.

That’s what I thought. I was only asking because the article makes the claim.

I posted my “that’s what I thought” before reading what others posted here. Looks like Saudi’s ARE owners of a big chunk of Fox.

Dictatorships hate free elections and free speech more than they hate anything else anywhere on the planet.

Saudi Arabia is a Muslim dictatorship. They don't want the world to hear stories of people aspiring to freedom in another Muslim dictatorship, even if it's a competing Muslim dictatorship.

And of course, we all know the aspirations of our own Messiah. No way HE wants nightly news stories of people aspiring to throw off government chains.

Ok, and? How does that negate the fact that there WAS coverage of the protests in Iran?

Other people have said that they saw coverage. Is there some reason you singled me out?

Just curious.
