So Much For Fox News

Dump ’em with a kiss off letter HERE

A former member of the Palestine Liberation Organizationwho has converted to Christianity says a Saudi prince is now thesecond-largest shareholder in Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, theparent company of the Fox News Channel. Foryears the Fox News Channel has described itself as “fair and balanced,”free from what some consider the “Kool-Aid” of liberalism and politicalcorrectness of other national news agencies. But Walid Shoebat, formerPalestinian terrorist who is now a Christian, says ever since SaudiPrince Alwaleed bin Talal became a major stockholder in Fox’s parentcompany, he has been able to influence its news content.”He himself said, ‘I just had to make a phone call to [tell them to]stop using the word Muslim’ regarding the rioting in France,” Shoebadnotes. “Bill O’Reilly says to Ibrahim Hooper, the head of the Councilon American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), that he is an upstanding citizen.Since when was the head of CAIR an upstanding citizen?” he wonders.
 
The former terrorist adds that viewers will no longer be seeing any so-called “Islamophobes” on Fox.
 
“Today, I’m not invited at Fox News. Neither is Robert Spencer orBrigitte Gabriel,” he laments. “But Ibrahim Hooper is invited to speakat Fox News. It used to be that experts on terrorism who are criticalof the Islamic views [were] able to get a voice on Fox News. Those daysare gone.”
 
Shoebat concludes that instead of airing those critical views of Islam,Fox News now legitimizes Hooper, the spokesman for CAIR, a group whichhe maintains is a front for the terrorist group Hamas.

In recent years, Alwaleed bin Talal, 54, has been among Forbe’s list of the world’s richest people. He is #22 on the 2009 list.
