Alwaleed bin Talal looks like a James Bond villain. Pic inside.

The co-owner of Fox News has given money to the families of terrorists. Here he sits like a James Bond villain, missing only some strange deformity which also speaks of extravagance; instead of a gold finger, he has gold waste bins.

Are those waste bins?

2. Murdoch "palling around with terrorists?"

Of course he does. And doing business with them as well. This traitor should be stripped of his US citizenship and kicked out of the country.

3. That looks like a picture that could have come from The Onion.

Not waste baskets, btw, but rather small side tables.

Disgustingly ostentatious.

10. That's where he puts the testicles of those who displease him.

Now that he is part owner in News Corp he can legally funnel money to the GOP. Remember soon after he bought into News Corp, they gave $1 million to Republican candidates.

11. Muslims own Fixed News! Muslims are backing GOP candidates! Muslims are trying to

install manchurian figureheads in the White House!

...from the "give them a taste of their own medicine" file, except, sadly, there's a lot of truth there. And Fixed News viewers will never know about it.

From the Rolling Stone article about Roger Ailes:

According to recent polls, Fox News viewers are the most misinformed of all news consumers. They are 12 percentage points more likely to believe the stimulus package caused job losses, 17 points more likely to believe Muslims want to establish Shariah law in America, 30 points more likely to say that scientists dispute global warming, and 31 points more likely to doubt President Obama's citizenship. In fact, a study by the University of Maryland reveals, ignorance of Fox viewers actually increases the longer they watch the network. That's because Ailes isn't interested in providing people with information, or even a balanced range of perspectives. Like his political mentor, Richard Nixon, Ailes traffics in the emotions of victimization.

12. We need a good way to frame it, but it has to be done in

a way where commentators won't throw up in their mouths when they say it.

Muslim bashing is counter productive.

Is a Fox owner financing terrorist?

Better, but still ugly.

Xenophobia is distasteful to me.
