In short, Fox is funding the lower "Ground Zero Mosque." Really quite simple.

As for your NY Daily News story, yes they do mention Prince Talal, just in the same manner as Fox and others who wish to demonize evil foreign investors, but I hasten to point out, that the Daily News FAILED to mention is that he is part part owner of News Corp and by way of New Corp, part owner of the Daily News. Funny how that works..

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

I think you meant the NY Post as that was where this all started. I don't think News Corp owns the Daily News. Aslo according the article Murdoch (NY Post) is partners with the prince in som earab companies. I fully expect the anti-Islam blogger that started this all, Pamela Geller to condem the Post who quoted her story. But I am not holding my breath.

Talk about hypocracy running rampant.

Well, why haven't we seen some firings at fox? Or at least a lessening of reportage on this issue? This will be interesting to watch unfold. Good on you, Jon S. how about other news outlets, who is funding them? We know there is a ton of Arab money in various concerns in the US. if you have stocks you may also be a funder.

Direct link to the specific part of the show regarding this topic.
I have no idea if there is any truth to this claim. Considering the source, there is much reason to doubt.

But we do know who funds all of the Left Wing media. At least damn near all of it. Just about every radical and Progressive Website and liberal rag is funded by Soros. He's a one man smear machine.

This is nothing but a game of guilt by association. And really, I dont give a damn who owns Fox News. I care about SOME of the content of Fox News. I watch a few shows on it and thats it. The people I watch have nothing to do with who owns stock in Fox News.

And funny how the typical liberal loons who ALWAYS ignore guilt by association when it comes to Soros and the MANY liberal organizations he funds, how he basically is the puppet master for Obama. You ignore ALL the ties Obama has to marxists, commies, and socialists. The ties to terrorists like Ayers. Yet here you all are, playing this lame card about Fox News and the mosque.

Hypocritical much?

While I dont like the thought that Fox News money could go to the mosque, and who really knows if it would, at least the shows it isnt playing part in how Fox reports on this. They have been reporting things just like others have. Some of the opinion shows have been critical of the Imam and the mosque location.

So really, what is your point with this? Fox News still reports the facts on the mosque story, the past/beliefs of the Imam. They arent letting some share holder dictate how they report on it.

Perhaps you people would have a point if Fox News was very, soft on the Imam and openly supported its location. Perhaps youd have a point if Fox News fired those on its network who are critical of the location and the Imam. But they havent. So please, you have no point with this.

I'm glad you find this so amusing. Obviously you have no feelings whatsoever for those who lost loved ones when these Muslims attacked the WTC. You obviously have no clue what this Imam (or whatever the Hell they call them) said about that attack either.

They are doing this to claim victory. It is a slap in the face, and Obama thinks it's just fine.

Hell, we don't even have a President! The man is a puppet, and he is doing the bidding of all our enemies. The man hates America.
