Good catch. It becomes clearer and clearer why the Fox double domes rolled over so totally for the Illegal’s propaganda about the virtues of the “Arab Spring.”
Unfortunately, for all that Fox News and the Obama administration can be regarded as compromised to some degree, the same was true for the Bush administration. Arab business ties and Saudi cash are prominent in the oil industry, with the Bush family having personal and financial ties to key Saudis like Prince Bandar.
When the Saudi king visited the US not long after 9/11, his entourage included figures with known terrorist ties. US security wanted to arrest them, but a compromise was reached in which they would not be permitted to deplane and could leave unmolested.
