I’m kind of amazed that FOX News talked about this to begin with, since it seems that bin Talal has in the past actually had Murdoch alter FOX’ editorial content:
Since then, al-Waleed has formed multiple connections with Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., the owner of Fox News. In September 2005, he acquired 5.46% of voting shares in News Corp., and just a few months later, when Fox ran coverage of riots in Paris under the banner “Muslim riots,” he allegedly phoned Murdoch and had him change the heading to “civil riots.”
They’re basically smearing their own boss here.
