Fox News just announced this too.

I’m certain another muzzie sheik is very upset with this coverage a his whahabi cohort:

Danny Schechter, a participant in the conference, reports that Al-waleed, who is a member of the Saudi Royal Family and investor in the Fox News parent company News Corporation, gave an interview boasting that he had called Fox to complain about coverage of the “Muslim riots” in France. He said he “called as a viewer” and “convinced them to change” the coverage because “they were not Muslim riots but riots against poverty and inequality.” And “they changed” the coverage, the Saudi reportedly said. Another report on the comments, carried by the Dubai-based newspaper the Khaleej Times, says that Al-waleed personally called Rupert Murdoch to complain. The Saudi said, “After a short while, there was a change” in the coverage.

Perhaps the coverage will be changed to “Muzzies protest inequality of propane tanks in pakistan.”

Murdoch will do anything for a buck. He probably needed al-Waleed to secure his recent purchases. However, if he wants to maintain the credibility of Fox News (and the Wall Street Journal) he cannot be seen to be kowtowing to his Saudi investors. This bears close scrutiny.
