In interview With Saudi Crown Prince, Fox Fails To Disclose That He’s Second-Largest Shareholder
"Yesterday on Fox Business, host Neil Cavuto interviewed Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the second-largest shareholder of Fox News-parent company News Corp, to discuss a wide variety of current events. Before the interview, Cavuto correctly issued a disclaimer, noting for his audience that Bin Talal “holds nearly seven percent equity stake in News Corp.”

But today on his Fox News show (which commands a far larger audience than Fox Business), Cavuto re-aired parts of yesterday’s interview and offered no such disclaimer. Rather, Fox thought it was more important to air a segment of the interview where Cavuto coaxed Bin Talal into saying Fox Business is his favorite business news channel."

"Doesn’t Fox News think it’s particularly relevant that the person who is vouching for network also happens to fund the network?"

1. Foxnews likes representing the paying interests of the GOP party.
That is their main goal, besides dumbing down millions of the working poor.

3. So funny how the RW even outsources their news stations
FOX: Owned by an Australian with a communist wife and who's biggest shareholder is a Saudi prince. BUY AMERICAN IDIOTS!
