saudi prince buys share of Fox News

Also it may seem nitpicky techinal, he didn't buy a 5% of Fox News, but a 5% share of Murdoch's conglomerate News Corp.

Also there is specualtion that the saudi prince buying a 5% share is insurance to Murdoch to stave off a hostile takeover feom John Malone's Liberty Media.

It's not "nitpicky technical" to say that a supposed "news" report gets the name of the company flat dead wrong. It's as inexcusable as saying, for example, "Joe Blow bought a share of MSNBC" when the reality is that he either bought Microsoft stock or General Electric stock.

That piece shows lazy thinking from the reporter to the editor all the way up to the publisher, and reduces its source, IMHO, to blog level.
