twitchy.com ^ | January 28, 2016 | Twitchy Staff

...Snopes points out that “A Saudi prince owns a minority share of Twenty-First Century Fox, the parent corporation of Fox News, via an investment firm,” but is not a “co-owner” of Fox News, and Kelly never posed for a photo with him.

Almost as cozy as Trump going on FOX many times before this.

“Unless you think the prince is telling a lie on himself?”

A Saudi Prince lie? No, never!

According to stockholder reports there is no ‘apparently’.

They simply exchanged ownership of enough shares to qualify for the board of directors of newscorp for enough shares to qualify for the board of 21st century fox:

http://www.afr.com/business/media-and-marketing/publishing/saudi-prince-alwaleed-slashes-news-corp-shareholding-20150204-136gz9

“In a sign the Saudis are keeping faith in Mr Murdoch’s more modern cable, television and film assets, the Kingdom has retained its 6.6 per cent holding in Twenty-First Century Fox, worth about $US1.7 billion.”

And 21st Fox is heavily invested in the Saudi’s companies as well:

“Twenty-First Century Fox owns a 19 per cent stake in Rotana Group, an entity the Prince owns separately from Kingdom Holding.”

You asked what was fake. The Photoshop photo your fraud candidate tweeted and challenged everyone to “GOOGLE IT” (Lmao!) is completely relevant about a man running to be President.

So?

How many times trump has or has not appeared on fox has no bearing on a foreign potentate’s ability to ‘make a phone call’ and alter news American’s get within an HOUR.

And then BRAG about it openly in a public forum.

I didn’t ask what was fake.

The photo has no bearing on a Saudi Prince ‘making a phone call’ to a US news outlet and getting the news WE hear altered to suit his own means.

Fact.

You are obviously more distraught at a candidate making some bogus tweet than you are that a foreign potentate ‘makes a phone call’ to change OUR news cycle to suit his own means.

Hey that was your word. We can definitely say Trump never had a problem about this before he ran scared from Megyn Kelly. No apparently about that. LoL!

None of which changes the FACT that a foreign potentate ‘made a phone call’ to change OUR news cycle to suit his own means.

Owned enough stock in the company in question to ‘make it happen’.

And then BRAGGED about it in public.

If you aren’t outraged at that I have no further use for you.

BTW, the same foreign potentate was HEAVILY invested in building the mosque at ground zero.

But you’re MORE outraged at some stupid tweet.

Very telling.

I’m all in for Trump but I think he needs to stay off Twitter for a while.

And your ‘factcheckers’ obviously have their own agenda when they describe having enough stock to demand a seat on the board of directors as a ‘minor share’.

So you didn't ask? But you did. Fact.
Which part is fake?
Too bad that didn't work out for you. But again your own words:
You are obviously more distraught at a candidate making some bogus tweet...
Now we know from you it was a bogus tweet. You can stop wasting anymore minutes of my time now.

You are obviously more distraught about a claim of changing a news story than a bogus Republican running for President.

Are you not outraged that a foreign potentate ‘made a phone call’ and changed the news reporting at a US news outlet?

And bragged about it?

The photo is fake.

The implication, however, is spot on.

Obviously the dumba@@ tweet bothers you more than the saudi directing our news outlet.

Whose side are you on?

And again.

You’re more concerned with a dumba@@ tweet than the FACT that a foreign potentate has BRAGGED about changing the US news cycle by ‘making a phone call’.

Whose side are you on?

Do you deny that the Saudi prince in the photo has BRAGGED about making a phone call to Murdoch to get the reporting guidelines at Fox news changed WITHIN AN HOUR?

Do YOU deny that the saudi prince in the photo has BRAGGED, publically, about ‘making a phone call’ to Murdoch to get the reporting at Fox news changed within an hour?

Obviously you think it’s OK for a saudi prince to ‘make a phone call’ to a US news outlet and change reporting guidelines within an HOUR.

Do you deny that the prince in the dumba@@ tweeted photo did so?
