Murdoch may be a hypocrite, but that would be based on other information, not this. It's a publicly traded company. Other than purchasing all the available shares himself, Murdoch has no way to prevent anyone from purchasing them.


If you want to get on Murdoch, do so based on HIS decision to be a part owner of Rotana, which is nothing more than a Saudi propaganda machine.

Murdoch along with saudi muslim Al-Waleed Bin Talal are the co-owners that own fox. They also own an anti-american islamic channel which brings the hypocrisy to epic proportions.

You have no idea what it means to own stock in a publicly traded company do you?

You still haven't answered if it bothers you that your beloved fox propaganda is co-owned by a saudi muslim that along with murdoch also own an anti-american islamic network.

Why would anyone trust a comedy show for hard news anyway. You do know Stewart's show is comedy don't you?
I am beginning to believe that Right wingers think that propaganda means "lie".

The young seem to be getting their news from Stewart.

Young Get News From Comedy Central - CBS News

For myself I'm kinda tired of MSNBC reporting on what they said on Fox and vice-versa, not to mention the Daily Show.

And I noticed on the thread about that Democrat who announced that they should "restrict the freedoms of conservatives" there was a distinct lack of substantive posts by liberals so it goes both ways.

Something that I've noticed, when someone doesn't have an argument against the premise, they attack the poster.

I haven't answered because your question isn't logic, I don't watch Fox but it's not co-owned by anyone as you claim.

Simply owning stock in a publicly traded company doesn't make you the "co-owner". You don't understand what "publicly traded company" means and that's cool, be proud of your ignorance. Wear it like a badge of honor.
