Does FOX’s Murdoch Allow Saudi’s Prince To Dictate Muslim Terminology Out Of Greed
This is very troubling to me! If Murdoch out of greed dictates FOX News editorial policy, it will be found out and FOX will fade into oblivion. I believe of all the news sources via television FOX has been the most balanced and I watch it regularly, but I will be suspicious of every news story from now on if it is true that Murdoch interferes with news policy to fill his own greedy pockets.
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, owner of the Fox News Channel, strengthened his strategic partnership with Prince Al-Walid bin Talal, acquiring a stake in the Saudi royal’s Rotana media conglomerate.
As WND reported, the Saudi prince, who owns a 5.7 percent share of Fox News, claimed in 2005 he persuaded Murdoch to immediately stop the top-rated cable network from identifying unrest in France as “Muslim riots.”
In 2005, Walid recounted his influence on the Fox News Channel’s coverage of Muslims during a panel at the Arab and World Media Conference in Dubai. He noted that during violent street protests in France, Fox News ran a banner at the bottom of the screen that said “Muslim riots.”
“I picked up the phone and called Murdoch ... [and told him] these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of poverty,” al-Walid said.
”Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from Muslim riots to civil riots.”
It just proves that no one is worthy of our trust, neither political party, neither political movement and now absolutely NO news organizations.
