Anti-American, Foreign Donors Are Paying Off Our Profs. Shouldn’t We Address This?
We should note that this off-topic comment was straight out of the box for Mr. Independent, 2nd one on the thread. Looks very much like lying in wait for “you clowns don’t know that Saudi owns much of Fox News, and I’m going to cherry pick that data to make you look foolish. And kick the Koch Brothers while I’m at it, because that’s fashionable these days.”
The various Fox branches are part of Murdoch’s News Corporation, which also owns about fifty newspapers, twenty magazines, Harper Collins, and 20th C Fox movies. Fox news is less than 5% of the total holding. Murdoch owns 29% of the whole deal, Alwaleed 7% non-voting. If you want to paint that as dire, go right ahead, but I don’t think it’s a strong case.
Other commenters be alert for this. People who threadjack are usually trying to set you up with some factoid, often trivial, which they can spring on you and make sound more dramatic than it is. They are attempting to move you to fight on different ground on purpose, because they cannot compete on the original field. For some reason not known to me, they are disproportionately young, unmarried males.
