UH-OH Fox News...Who Supports Terror?

You have to love this one.

"Rupert Murdoch and Fox News are in business, to the tune of billions of dollars, with one of the "Terror Mosque Imam's" principal patrons."

The satire on The Daily Show is the point. Yes, anyone can buy public, and anyone can make loose or direct associations. Stewart just pointed out that Fox News, in their fair and balanced reporting, was quick to make associations relating to the "terror mosque", but they failed to mention the largest financial supporter derives a significant amount of income from an investment in Fox News. Using the associate game that Fox News utilized to mislead the public, you could also arrive at the assumption that Fox News supports terror. Stewart just pointed it out - he did not make it up.

Would your response be "Anyone can buy public" if MSNBC was the network in question?

Which part is crap

"Al-Waleed owns a 7 percent, $2.3 billion stake in News Corporation."

or

"Al-Waleed donated $500,000 to the Council on American-Islamic Relations — which has been repeatedly denounced on Fox News's air by Geller and others as a terror group — in 2002."

or

"Other beneficiaries of Al-Waleed's largess include the Islamic Development Bank, a project designed to "foster the economic development and social progress of [Muslims] in accordance with the principles of Shari'ah."

or

That Fox News has not mentioned Al-Waleed's name on air.

Let me know which parts are crap and why. I am really curious.

Fox news is just an entertainment channel that plays to the stupid. Take my advice, don't pay them any attention. National mainstream media is pretty much a massive joke, so just stick to local news.

I buy products everyday from companies/people that probably support Democratic candidates. Oh no !

Jon Stewart is a Democrat. He is a biased opinion.

There is nothing to see here.

I didn't mind when Fox news went after the Far Left Liberals but,
now they are targeting the Elites and I feel like I'm being singled out.

Or maybe this one is pretty straight forward and difficult to defend.
