The National's Ben Flanagan reports that “Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud plans to launch a 24-hour Arabic-language news channel in partnership with Rupert Murdoch's Fox network, and has recruited the controversial Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi to head the station.”
Something tells me Murdoch won't be importing the anti-Muslim/Islam hysteria found almost daily on Fox News stateside to this new venture.
The Daily Show's Jon Stewart did a send-up of Fox News' anti-Muslim tendencies earlier this week:
You can find a great deal more here about the right-wing network's history of making controversial assertions about Muslims -- often by baselessly branding them as “terrorists” or “terrorist sympathizers” -- calling for profiling, or equating Islam and all of its adherents with radical extremists who claim to act in its name.
