I hope conservatives everywhere are paying careful attention to this, because it is NOT good news that Rupert Murdoch is maintaining relations with a man as disgusting as Prince al-Waleed Bin Talal, who's now looking to build up his stakes in News Corp.
You can be sure that FOX themselves won't make any genuine mention of this; the discussions between these two have been largely done in quiet. But those outside will do well to make some fuss. And it wouldn't be a good idea to think this doesn't matter just because say, Andrew Breitbart is gaining as a conservative news mogul. This needs to be addressed clearly, because that Murdoch would ever do business with Talal to begin with IS a slap in the face to the audience he's allegedly catering to, and Talal is a very dangerous influence, especially if we recall that he tried to give a "donation" following 9-11 with strings attached to NYC, which Giuliani rightfully rejected.
