You should re-read the "Faux News" posts.

 While I don't trust Fox News, I have neither the desire or the
ability to censor them (or anything else).

However, and according to the notoriously arch-liberal National Review, the
same cannot be said for Saudi royalty.   I posted the
wrong link in an earlier message, this one is correct. I ask you again: how
can Fox News claim to have any credibility?

“Saudi Prince Walid bin Talal made these remarks during the Arab and World
Media Conference in Dubai (today and tomorrow) where he was a speaker, and
the quote was picked up and published by Middle East Online. The Prince was
remarking on his own influence over what gets aired on Murdoch's Fox News
Channel now that he (the Prince) is a voting shareholder etc.:

"During last month's street protests in France, Fox ran a banner
saying: 'Muslim riots'. I picked up the phone and called Murdoch to tell
him these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of poverty...Within 30
minutes, the title was changed from Muslim riots to civil riots."
