Saudi Prince al-Waleed bin Talal boasted in Dubai earlier this week
about his ability to change the news content that viewers around the
world see on television.
In early September 2005, Bin Talal bought 5.46% of voting shares in
News Corp. This made the Fifth richest man on the Forbes World's
Richest People, the fourth largest voting shareholder in News Corp.,
the parent of Fox News. News Corp. is the world's leading newspaper
publisher in English. It operates more than 175 newspapers, in the UK,
Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and the US, and distributes more
than 40 million papers per week. In addition, News Corp. owns and
operates an international collection of TV outlets, radio stations,
magazines, book publishers and film studios.
After bin Talal purchased his voting shares in News Corp., on
September 23, 2005, he stated in an advertising supplement to the New
York Times, “When I invest in a group like CITICROUP, the Four
Seasons, the News Corp. or Time Warner, my objective is not to manage
those companies.” But this is not quite accurate, considering the
Prince’s December 5, 2005 statement given to Middle East Online
regarding his ability to change what viewers see on Fox News. Covering
the riots in Paris last November, Fox ran a banner saying: "Muslim
riots." Bin Talal was not happy. "I picked up the phone and called
Murdoch... (and told him) these are not Muslim riots, these are riots
out of poverty," he said. "Within 30 minutes, the title was changed
from Muslim riots to civil riots."
