The voice of the Right?

Just in case you were wondering whether Fox News was really the fair and balanced voice of truth and true Americans, . . .
During last month’s street riots in France, Fox News ran a banner during a news segment, that read “Muslim riots.” Billionaire Saudi Prince al-Walid bin Talal didn't like it. He phoned Murdock. He had it changed to "Urban Riots."

That's right folks. While the army's been paying Iraqi reporters to print pro-US stories, al-Walid has been getting anti-Muslim statements off the air. And, seeing as he owns 5.5% of Fox, he didn't even have to pay.
