Quote...It was not until a few days later that I learned what may have been behind the absence of a video clip on the Web site. I had said to Doocy that Saudi Arabian money was still financing Al Qaeda. Doocy did not react to my comment. But ten days later I learned that Fox's parent company, News Corporation, was, at the time of my interview, negotiating with a Saudi prince to vastly increase his stake in the company.
By the time I appeared on Fox News, Prince Alwaleed was about to become News Corp's fourth largest voting shareholder (behind the Murdoch family, Liberty Media, and Fidelity Management & Research Co, a mutual fund). The prince has repeatedly defended his homeland as a problem-free place. What he has failed to mention is that he has personally donated huge amounts of money to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers.
There are Saudi princes that don't fund terrorism?
hey just because fox news is sponsored by a saudi prince, that doesn't mean the poor corporation should have its right to express itself removed. I mean come on. Isn't that saudi prince's right to tinker with American elections protected under the constitution?

Wasn't sure they could top the last decade, but they really came through. :lulz:
this is kind of vindicating, to be honest
because when Obama said, "With the recent supreme court ruling, foreign powers now have a channel to financially influence American elections", I thought we'd have to wait a few years for somebody to make a case about it. I should have realized that the corruption would happen faster than immediately, it would have already been occurring.

Corruption moves faster than news, Cram. This is actual science.

Can't wait to see who's been funding the other side as well... Cause you know it ain't just Fox. :lulz:
Republicans get oil, Democrats get banks.
Thems the rules.
