Exclusive: Fox Becomes a Hen? ‘CAIR’ and Imbalance? News Corporation Falls Under Saudi Control
March 12, 2010 - Paul Williams, PhD
Former prominent guests on Fox News, including Walid Shoebat, contend that the News Corporation has surrendered its “fair and balanced” coverage of Islam and events in the Middle East for a fistful of Saudi cash.Reader Comments: Submit Your Comment (36) | Sign Up for FSM Updates!
Yes, I am very concerned that money exchanging hands has purchased any "fair and balanced" reporting from Fox News. CAIR should be registered as a lobbyist, but they are not. Yet they have induced fear in this country of issuing any claim that Islam and terrorism have a link. Yet Cair has supported Hamas. Cair is always on the front to ensure we don't call someone like the Ft. Hood soldier who killed many a terrorist and that he proclaimed the name of allah before doing his terrible deed. I am really surprised that supposed independent thinkers like Beck, Krauthammer and others would cave. It is shameful. I will no longer view FOX News as much different than the big 3. May God help our nation to see clearly once again.
Fox/Murdoch/Tilal fail to recognize that Fox viewers are well read and sophisticated conservatives. Viewers know that Fox is "soft" on Islam, therefore failing to accurately and completely report on any news involving Islam. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Fox is failing to accurately and completely report ANY news. So long, Fox.
Disappointment, regret, anger, and these represent a few of my feelings re: your change in position.I've been taken data on your news stories-Diana West Professor Williams and others are correct.Please change your slogan "Fair and Balanced"-you are neither! You have become simply another media source, albeit packaged well, that has sold-out to ...your integrity found a price-you have lost any sense of analysis authority and have become just like those you love to criticize-what a pity for your viewers. Time for another new network that used to be FOX!
I don't believe Beck and Krauthammer and others of their nature will cave on their views. However I do believe the overall reporting on Fox of radical Islam and their threat to the world will be influenced.
Very sorry to see this. Is Murdoch also part of the new world order?
Dr. Mohammed T. Mehdi started the organization that eventually became known as CAIR. Mehdi, among other things was an unindicated co-conspirator of the Blind Bag of Camel Dung know as Abdel Rahman.
P.S.--Ibrahim "Doogie" Hooper stated he is working toward the replacement of American government with sharia law. This means the establishment of Isalm as the American state religion. Where are all of the liberals? Why are they not throwing hissy-fits about this religious-based governmental movement? Doogie, we're hep to your cultural jihad. Expect resistance.
I apologize for my opinion on Beck and Krauthammer. I was directed to the comment section before reading the entire article. I usually watch Beck, and Krauthammer's comments on Nightly News but I apparently missed these.
We know the Saudis have been buying influence in important segments of the US economy, culture, media, colleges and universities, etc. This is all part and parcel of what is called the "stealth jihad."
Unfortunately, I only learned late in the game (post 9/11), the tremendous influence the Saudis obtained from the Bush family through the lucrative Carlyle Investment Group and by other means. I voted for both Bushes, father and son; sadly.
We expect this sort of thing from the left. I do not expect it from the right.
Many of my Tea Party buddies are furious
about this!! I will reserve judgement at this
time. However be sure I will keep close tabs
on this and how it affects Fox News coverage
in the future. Buzzy
Its par for the course for Murdoch who always follows the money. And it is exactly in line with previous actions of the Islamic movement to buy off criticism. My hope is that Beck and Krauthammer do not sell out their souls on this one. Maybe a robust performance by Beck on his show on this issue may pasify his followers.
We should be flooding Fox News with emails letting them know we expect Fair and Balanced news. A boycott should be started by the well informed people who were Fox Fans. Expressing their great disappointment and saddness at their sell out for Saudi money.
As we see money does the talking.
BOYCOTT FOX AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT IT.
I am a(TPP)ALSO, Sorry,To Read This, I Will RESRVE Jugement (ALSO)
Oh well, another media outlet bites the dust, whoring to Saudi petro dollars.
To be sure, I almost fainted when I heard Beck & the crew gang up on Wilders, the only one in the group who was man enough to tell the truth.
In any case, now I understand why Tobin, reporting from Jerusalem ALWAYS take the Arab aggressor side, painting Israel in a corner.Other commentators obsess over Jews building homes, rarely mentioning Islamic barbarism. I will drop FOX as a preferred YES satellite channel & my friends will likely too.
Rest in peace.....
I have to reserve judgement at this point. We may be jumping to conclusion's. Why don't we see what time brings, after all this has been the only network that has broadcast the truth so far. Let's hope for the best.
I am a FOX fan and it is the only major media outlet I actually view. I have noted some lessenening of the "fair and Balanced" format of late. I hope I am wrong, if not the ride will get rockier.
Jerry (at 09:31 AM), I cannot, I must not, reserve judgment. When a rising star and leader in the tea party movement like Glenn Beck tells his huge audience, courageous Dutch politician Geert Wilders is a fascist, followed by Charles Krauthammer calling him an extremist who does not know the difference between "Islamism" and (peaceful) Islam - when in fact there is no such distinction - and William Kristol calls this hero of millions a "demagogue," I cannot reserve judgment.
I am requesting a public apology to Mr. Wilders from the three; something I do not expect to see. Do you?
I am reluctant to visit Fox News. As time goes by, I may eliminate Fox from my top list of websites that I visit daily, as I've done with CNN. Rarely do I visit CNN and only then to see what the friend of the global jihad is saying. Same will hold true with Fox.
Don't reserve judgment. Don't be so willing to board the train to Auschwitz, because this is where Fox News will be leading us if they do not change their ways. Steve
I was shocked when I heard Krauthammer and Kristal tip toeing around the issue. Referring to Geert Wilders as a demagogue is nonsense. Wilders is right and America had better wake up.
One of my major concerns regarding this is how will this situation at Fox affect Palin who is now probably locked into them through the Presidential nominations in 2012.
This bears close watching and hopefully Conservative writers, talk show hosts etc will begin to grill her on her position visa via Islam and the continual encroachment of Sharia law on Judeo/Christian and Humanist values.
America does not need another pro Sharia law President in 2012 or ever again for that matter.
When they bring on groups like CAIR and talk, they have a credibility problem.
When they refuse to report on ACT! for American's online petition to have our government fully investigate CAIR, they have a problem. When they refuse to report on STOP SHARIAH NOW protect, they have a major credibility problem. When they flatly refuse to report on the Muslim groups that have infiltrated the CIA, FBI, DHS, DOJ, DoD, etc, they have a credibility challenge. The have refused to hold hearings on Stephen Coughlin’s thesis on our real enemy. A Muslim in DoD helped turn our efforts away from identifying our real enemy. FOX will not report on it.
Yntil another Source of TRUE and Factual news aoppears on the Horizon I stick with FOX NEWS.. Face it can Msnbc, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN ( well may be) be called anything but part of the Obama Propaganda Machine?? GET REAL!!!
Fox news is more dangerous to American citizens than any of the other main-streamers; ABC. CBS, and etc. At the least with main-streamers you know beforehand that everything reported will have a liberal slant; excuse me; a progressive slant. In Fox news it was hoped for a fair and balanced reporting. Those hopes vanished long ago. This article only proves the point.
I thought how could Charles think that when he made his comments the other day. Guess it was just a matter of time before the Muslims got into Fox News as well. It is a sad state of affairs and we are like sheep to the slaughter I am afraid.
Europe, once considered the cheese eating surrender monkey of the world is awakening.
Meanwhile this blind denunciation of Wilders by the US right shows how much they know about shariah, Islam and the inexhorable creep of the mosque into our society.
They should come to towns in Northern England where the infiltration has reached fifty percent to see how it pans out.
As for Fox itself? Looks like the web will take over for real information on a phenomena which unchecked will engulf the globe.
I HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WITH GLEN BECK SINCE SCHOOL AND FROM HIM I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE FOX CHANNEL CANNOT REPORT ON ANYTHING DERROGATORY ON OBAMA, SINCE MURDOCK WAS A HUGE SUPPORTER OF HIS, AND NOW THAT 40% OF FOX NEWS IS NOW OWNED BY AN ARAB....WE WILL HEAR FAIR AND BALANCED, BUT ( NOT ) ABOUT OBAMA, AS PER ORDERS FROM THE VERY TOP.
I'M A BIRTHER, AND SUGGEST THAT ALL OF YOU NON BELIEVERS SHOW YOUR PROOF THAT HE IS NOT AN INDONESIAN ALIEN MUSLIM.
IF YOU DOLTS PUT FORTH THAT PHONY HAWAIIAN SO CALLED BIRTH CERTIFICATE, I WILL KNOW YOU ARE A
TRUE DUD.
ONE MUST BE BORN OF (TWO) U.S. CITIZENS, TO HAVE A "NATURAL BORN" CHILD. THIS IS EXPLAINED VERY CLEAR IN OUR U.S. COMMON LAWS IN VATEL'S ( LAW OF NATIONS)
OBAMA IN HIS CAIRO SPEECH SAYS TWICE ABOUT HIS KENYAN FATHER, AND EVEN LISTS IT ON THE PHONY HAWAIIAIN C.O.L.B.FATHER AS AN : AFRICAN.
HE VERY SIMPLY IS ( NOT) AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, AND CLEARLY "IN-ELIGIBILE TO BE THE PRES.
Well there goes "Fair and Balanced Reporting" by fox. Guess I will have to rely completely on the Internet for the facts about cair and their islamic lies.
I watched Beck do an obvious hatchet job on Medina. I watched O'reilly say he is for the national ID card. And that he is for "comprehensive immigration".
You tell me who's side they are on.
If this is true, I feel as though I'd been punched in the stomach. All I can do is keep my eyes peeled and ears open for signs of slippage to "the other side." In my opinion, if Fox can be bought and paid for, that's curtains. We're done for. Where will a person find truly "fair and balanced" news?
Not that I ever thought Fox was completely "balanced" but rather tilted toward a conservative point of view -- which is precisely why Fox is the only news I watch. I'm never going to waste my time on the "primary" "news" outlets.
As a Dutch citizen living in Amsterdam, I'm being confronted with the intolerance of Muslims every day. I am shocked to learn that Fox has sold out to the Islamofascisme. Let there be no mistake that Islam is a supremacist ideology. It tolerates no other religion alongside. Islam has gained several strongholds in the major European cities. It seeks world dominance and nothing seems to stop it. Please America, do not get lured into this. Check out www.thereligionofpeace.com and look what evil is facing the free world. This threat is bigger than communism has ever been, because it does not invade, it creeps upon you. Please, wake up!
I always relied on Fox for being 'Fair' when it came to stories in the Middle East and Israel specifically.
I guess now they will be known as "We distort, You decide".
It is not the fault of the fine analysts on Fox that their station is short of change ($$). They are not tainted because the poohbahs are cash-hungry. It is critical that Fox continue its crusading balancing act vs the venomous liars of the drive-bys.
Should Fox drop, we will be immensely the poorer--and no one else will have the guts, gumption and gelt to initiate a similar counterbalance to demonization media.

I am surprised that fans of Fox wasn't following this, which has been going on for awhile. It has been known for years that one of the rich Saudi princes was practically best friends with Murdoch. When I heard that Prince Talil (whatever his name) was a major stakeholder for NewsCorp. Guys, sorry to burst your bubble, but the Saudi's have their dirty hands heavily involved in American businesses.......I just hope we all don't get drunk off of the taqiyya kool-aid
Only the truly naive idiots would think Fox News did not have an agenda.
Funny thing though, so many people panic about Islamofascism when the real threat to AMERICAN culture is PROGRESSIVE LIBERALISM! Terrorists are, to put it bluntly, nothing more than mere flies when up against the Individualist. Yet, never do we see those whining about Islamofascism whining about the greater threat America faces.
I'm not surprised by any of these relatively recent developments at Fox News - I've seen some of this "slippage" over the past few weeks & months and, of course, disappointment and frustration are my two major reactions.
And, yes, I saw & heard Krauthammer when he very supercilliously dismissed Geert Wilders on that afternoon panel - and if you don't agree with Krauthammer, then his superior know-it-all attitude is totally insufferable. But I missed Glenn Beck's ignorant remark about Wilders - which, of course, says more about Beck's intelligence than Wilders true character.
As disappointed as I am that I can no longer count on Fox for any truthful or even analytical discussion of the true nature and evil possibilities of Radical Islam, like others, I'll just have to find my news & info on the Internet - still the best source of REAL news that REALLY matters these days!
Fox owned by R. Murdoch as is BSKYB in the UK - both are under the influence of Saudi share holders.
On the subject of Islam, better to ignore both.
They do the bidding of their real masters - Muslims!
Fox news is now akin to what people in America have had to choose in politics for over a hundred years; the lesser of evils. I mean if they are willing to obfuscate the truth on something as important as the islamic death cult, how can we trust them about anything?
Fox has been the only programs and news I watch all day, but I will watch more closely,since I did expect to get fair and balanced. Surprised that Murdoch would be willing to risk top rated shows for Saudi money. He should know there's been a reason it's been top rated.
