Prince Alwaleed bin Talal owns a large stake in News Corp (and therefore Fox News). What's up with that? I am so confused.

Alwaleed has been at it for a long time. He had a dedicated chapter in my high school economics book...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

I remember hearing about this a few years ago, and it surprised me at first because I was under the impression that FOX was jesus's holy network (and wasn't thinking for myself at that time), but now that I've awoken to the real world I realize many people will do anything for money. I, also, realize now that FOX news is for people that are idiots, that think the anti-christ is always among us, possessing a democratic politician at all times.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-

Why am I always 'late to the party'? In fact, don't answer that. I was so shocked but it turns out lots of people here know this already. I even searched "Alwaleed". Alwaleed reminds me of Janjaweed for some reason. Just the pronunciation I guess.

Dude is so rich he probably own half of me and I don't know it
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

This does not change my opinion of the Saudis one whit.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't know that either. The difference between us is that I'm not shocked at all.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
