Saudi billionare Al-waleed bin Talal who has an “influential number” of voting shares in News Corp, the owners of Fox News, has allegedly made Fox News change their coverage the french riots.
in an interview Al-waleed said he called Fox News “as a viewer” to complain about coverage of “The Muslim riots” and convinced Fox News to change their coverage because “they were not Muslim riots but riots against poverty and indequality”.
Dubai-based newspaper Khaleej Times reported Al-waleed has said he personally called Rupert Murdoch to complain and that “”After a short while, there was a change” in Fox News’ coverage.
Accuracy in Media is now calling for a full inquiry into the report because it “underscores the danger of giving foreign interests a significant financial stake in U.S. media companies,”
I guess money really CAN buy you anything. So much for integrity too, huh?
I agree Laura and that would be the least fo our concerns if this is a true story. Unreal, so much for “Fair and Balanced’. You certainly won’t here any talking points on this. What a sham it all is, so disheartening. Slow decay and fall of the Roman Empire revisited
