He likes Murdoch a lot. Looks like they're trying to get closer.
"Prince 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. As irony would have it, the Arab News just published this picture today of Prince Alwaleed meeting with News Corp executives to discuss how to “further strengthen the strategic corporate alliance between Rotana and News Corp”"

How is 7% "such a big part of NewsCorp?"
It disturbs me that the currently sitting president is in the pocket of the unions.
It disturbs me that the most frequent visitor to the White House is the head of the SEIU.
It disturbs me that the currently sitting president is trying to take over every industry in America.
It disturbs me that the currently sitting president has, in the course of eighteen months, taken over the auto, finance, insurance, medical, student loan, mortgage, and health care industries; and he is trying his best to destroy the stock market and Wall Street in general.
But some foreign potentate owning a mere 7% of an American corporation disturbs me not a whit.

I'm far more concerned about group of JournOlist who are conspiring together in lies to effect their own political agenda.

nope
doesn't bother me at all.
I guess I don't fit the profile you've made up in your head.
You're welcome to keep feeding yourself the delusion though, as you probably will.

Ah, make up a bunch of stuff in a transparent attempt to change the subject.
Of course, it would only be a big deal if it was an entity you didn't like.

Actually that fits the profile exactly. If it's something you are against (like say a Muslim community center) you'd be against it. But if it's your beloved propaganda station.....make excuses.

Nothing I posted was made up.
Not trying to change the subject at all. I addressed the subject quite nicely.
You wanted to know what I found disturbing and I told you. The ending paragraph was right on target and right on subject.
Know the difference, please.

Sorry wrong.
Made up.
Correction...former head. But who cares? He's a big supporter of universal healthcare. I like it.
Made up.
Made up. He hasn't taken over one of those industries. We regulate these industries, we cut out the middlemen on students loans saving a bunch of money, and a couple of car companies came to us for bailouts....but all these industries still run themselves.
Also the stock market is way up.
Maybe you meant to say Bush was trying to destroy the stock market?
You were trying to change the subject.
Made up. I asked cat "Is it upsetting for you to have this guy be such a big part of NewsCorp?"
Not really, your last sentence only tried to dismiss the 7% as if he wasn't the second largest shareholder and didn't have a mutual relationship. It was disingenuous.
Oh, I know the difference. You were trying to change the subject.
