Fox/AP ^

CAIRO – The Saudi billionaire whose investment firm is one of the biggest stakeholders in Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. said he is looking to expand his alliances with the media giant, in the latest indication that his appetite for growth remains robust even as his company retrenches.

Bin Talal. Owns a LOT of US media. Should be considered a national security issue.

Hmmmmmm. (eyebrow raised) Like the same billionaire who is now traced back to funding the existence and education of Obama for the past 29 years through a muslim separatist extremist who is/was a member of the Black Panthers?

I don’t know about the rest of you, but this sets off my alarm sirens in a pretty big way.

Islam is one of the most nefarious threats we face win this insane era of political correctness. This Saudi character needs to be shunned and opposed every step of the way.

LMAO!!

I love kittens in the morning with my coffee-who knew??

I agree. Just say no. However, it wouldn't bother me if he purchased MSNBC.

The MSM has been losing control of the Obama image.Now along comes Obamas educational mentor to give the media one more Goebbels boost.

I never read their crap anyway, and,Fox will be history if it continues to take the ARAB money.Americans know propaganda when they see it now.So now the Arabs will insist that lies be printed about Islam and the jihad using our networks, instead of the usual half truths.They can eff off, with prejudice!Buahahahahahaha! Pi$$ on ALLAH!

Regardless of Arab control of the West's media, this is the way things are now and the way they will continue to be:

JANUARY 2009

JANUARY 2010

No amount of Arab press control will now be able to change the devolution of the MSM . America detests them.

I didn’t read the whole story but if I were Murdock I would say no thanks I fear in time they will make Fox into MSNBC.

[thethirddegree]

Rupert needs to dump this muslim.

[freekitty]

They do and I won’t watch Fox anymore.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

I guess Fox News is trying to sink to MSNBC level

This Alwaleed bin Talal is bad news....he is a major donor to CAIR, and he was the one who blamed Jews for 9/11 (Rudy Giuliani refused his 10 million dollar donation to help NYC after Alwaleed made his anti-Semitic remark)

With Fox News ignoring and dissing the Obama BC issue....actively supporting John McCain....and being funded by a supporter of Islamic Terror....looks like FNC is sliding to MSNBC and CNN level......

Just watch...Fox News will sell Americans and Conservatives out on the Illegal Alien Amnesty issue...I bet that is next

[LSUfan]

This guy has already bragged how he got Fox to quit referring to the rioters in France as Muslim and simply as “youths.”

His influence will only grow now.

Take a critical look at Fox coverage of issues, even Glenn Beck. Notice how often, if ever, they say anything critical of Islam itself, or of the Saudis.

If he eventually controls Fox News enough, I’ll get a satellite account again to see the Medieval opinions and wardrobe. ;-)

Obviously you didn't read the whole story - not only is the guy one of the biggest stakeholders in News Corp, but News Corp/Murdoch is interested in buying into some of his holdings as well. This isn't a one way street.

As for making Fox into MSNBC, there is a reason why a lot of us freepers call it Faux News. More and more it's filled with fluff and sleaze. The only good news is that people are finally realizing that Murdoch only cares about Murdoch, and if openly pushing a liberal agenda would double Fox News' profits, Murdoch would do it in a heartbeat.

Good point but when I watched Cavuto interview the Prince he was just to Liberal for me.
