Here you go Robman,
It took some digging to find something regarding the stock ownership of CNN and other western media, but this site looks like a good start.

Grandma,

Thanks for the info, and I hope you can further confirm the same as you intend. This is VERY important ammunition! We need to establish both financial links and a quid pro quo, HRW-style. When this happens, and to the extent that such information can get into mainstream public knowledge, the whole Saudi-Obama-Media axis can be outflanked, and the “case against Israel” as made by the same will collapse like a house of cards.

A small correction in my original post above: I met Rashid K. in the late 1980s, not the late 1990s. Time sure flies!

For Robman:
Doctor David Hocking is a very reliable source for the info on CNN. He has a friend who works for CNN and he called his friend to confirm the stock of CNN was 90% owned by the Saudis. The friend confirmed it. Perhaps you can get Dr. Hocking to respond to you on this. His website is http://www.davidhocking.org
Sorry, I do not have the exact link, because the information is at least a year or two old, but it should be public knowledge somewhere on the web. I will try to find it.

Grandma! What is your source – that you reported in another post – that CNN is 90% Saudi-owned?

I’m with you. I met Rashid Khalidi when I was a grad student at U Chicago in the late 1990s. He was a guest professor for one of my classes, and I was assigned to read one of his putrid books. He was a world-class jerk.

This is a man who has dedicated the whole of his adult professional life to the demonization and destruction of Israel. As soon as I learned that he was such a “good buddy” of Obama’s, I knew then that anything Obama said before the fact about being a “friend” of Israel was pure b.s. Khalidi raised $70,000 for Obama’s first senate campaign, and I’m sure he didn’t do this just because he thought Obama was a swell guy.

Before the election, I did my best to warn people. I got in furious e-mail battles with Jewish friends and relatives – some of whom in the wake of the same I am barely on speaking terms with to this day.

I never entertained any hope that Obama would at some point “get it” in a positive sense, and like you, “Grandma”, I am dismayed that any Jews voted for him at all, to say nothing of the fact that 78% of Jewish Americans did this. To one sweet little old lady in our local Jewish community, an Obama booster, who protested to me that Obama is surrounded by “so many Jewish advisors”, I had only one reply. “You know what I call that?”, I asked her, “…CAMOUFLAGE, that’s what I call that!”

Sadly, given millenia of persecution, there are so many Jews who feel so intrinsically powerless, that they will leap at any chance to “cut a deal”, to gain some semblance of “acceptance”. These are the people who joined the “Jewish Police” in the Warsaw Ghetto…and today’s ‘modern’ “Jewish Police” have names like Emmanuel, and Axelrod.

The lessons of our history, and the example of Israel is lost on these people.

I’m sure Obama has only three years left, but he can do a lot of damage in that time. This is such a f*****g nightmare!

The first thing you learn from studying history…..is that nobody ever learns from history!

I’m surprised it took you two so long to come to this conclusion. I felt this when he was campaigning and I’m only a Gentile!

This J Street is a joke, too. They are a vulgar group, imho. Look at the treatment they dished out to Sarah Palin as reported by the JP.

I had pretty much the very same feeling.
He has been schooled by Rashid Khalidi. He has the Arab point- of- view.
I too had hoped that he would learn. I too thought that he would understand in time the real nature of the conflict.
Apparently what has happened is he now has come to understand that the major initiative to ’solve the Middle East problem’ has failed.
We are in the stage then of ‘blaming’ others for the failure. Who is the world’s favorite scapegoat? Why not jump on the bandwagon. Israel is the culprit.
But now the Israel- Palestine thing is small potatoes. Iran is openly defiant. No uranium will be shipped anywhere. They are going nuclear in front of his eyes. What is he going to do?
The balance has shifted. China has the money and the one with the money usually controls the relationship. The sad truth about becoming number two was made apparent on his visit to China.
Things are not going well. And so there is a shift in tone. The world of sunshine and light, and reconciliation of former enemies is going.
I have no idea whatsoever of how this will play out.
I share the feeling of this being something like ‘the last straw’.
But there will be many other ’straws’. He still is the President and he still determines so much.
Let us at least hope he took in Peres’ rebuke and might have some sense that on this one he slipped. Let us also hope on the big one, Iran, he comes at some point to a simple understanding which anyone with any real knowledge of Iran has. i.e. nothing will stop them but a devastating military elimination of their nuclear sites.
