I never thought I'd see that day that I'd agree with anything being spewed by Joseph Farah ["publisher of the far right WorldNetDaily"], but I sure as hell agree with THIS ~ 7% is an enormous personal stake ~ Prince Alwaleed's comment that he "has a personal stake in influencing American politics:" is chilling ~ especially in view of the recent Citizens United ruling ~ Sooz

Conservative Activists Rebel Against Fox News: Saudi Ownership Is ‘Really Dangerous For America'

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal owns a 7 percent stake in News Corp — the parent company of Fox News — making him the largest shareholder outside the family of News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch. Alwaleed has grown close with the Murdoch enterprise, recently endorsing James Murdoch to succeed his father and creating a content-sharing agreement with Fox News for his own media conglomerate, Rotana.

Last weekend, at the right-wing Constitutional Coalition's annual conference in St. Louis, Joseph Farah, publisher of the far right WorldNetDaily, blasted Fox News for its relationship with Alwaleed. Farah noted correctly that Alwaleed had boasted in the past about forcing Fox News to change its content relating to its coverage of riots in Paris, and warned that such foreign ownership of American media is “really dangerous.â€

I think once these right-wingers realize just what they've unleashed with the USSC decision, they're the ones who are going to end up screaming the loudest about "foreigners influencing our governemnt". Nothing will be done about it in the meantime because they have their party of NO blocking anything congress or the president would want to do. So I guess we'll just have to wait until they start massing with their pitchforks and torches before we see any return to sanity.

DC is a company town for ARAMCO. why shouldn't FOX be, as well?

Saudi ownership isn't "dangerous to Murrica". The rightie-packed SCOTUS is.
