 Fox News and “Fox and Friends” are in a “fair and balanced” furor these days about the so called ground zero mosque. They’ve got some legitimate and grave concerns about the mosque’s main financial backer and his motives for doing so. They also have serious questions about his background indicating he financed a number of fundamentalist schools in Saudi Arabia. And, he is the same individual who offered millions to the 9/11 recovery fund that then Mayor Rudy Guiliani so vociferously refused. In fact, our friends at Fox will tell you just about everything you need to know about this man except…his…name. The public should know why.He is in fact a Saudi Arabian billionaire prince and by-the-by a good friend of George W. Bush, and his name is Alwaleed bin Talal. So is it reasonable to expect the Fox News folks (owned by Newscorp) to know his true identity? Probably, because they work for him. That’s right, Alwaleed bin Talal is the second largest shareholder in Newscorp behind Rupert Murdoch and this can no doubt be verified on their “fair and balanced” balance sheet. Imagine if this fundamentalist supporting Saudi prince were an owner of MSNBC, CNN, or even NBC, we would hear his name so often that even “Fox and Friends” would be able to spell it. As for right now, we would just like them to explain why they wont even say his name thereby mosquing the truth. |
