He surrendered his citizenship for a business opportunity. He did not become a citizen of the United States because of any lofty beliefs in the American system. He saw dollars to be made. He had proven his money-making system in Great Britain. Use the press to generate dissatisfaction in the government. Then report on the dissenters attempts of reformation. Use the resources of media to put forth innuendo and half-truths wrapped in good-sounding slogans and presented as truth. Hammer those who criticize with the wrath of the true believers. Impugn the motive of those who dare question. Tar those who do not follow in lock step with being “unpatriotic” and those who would destroy the dear homeland. A homeland he loves because of its ability to fill his coffers.
So he set up his dynasty. His new citizenship permitted him to buy television and radio outlets. His television network has 2 divisions. One broadcasts rank entertainment. The other is draped in the American flag. It loudly preaches return to the God of our forefathers, not his. His forefathers were sent to the land of his birth as prisoners to an island penal colony. His employees raise the praise of God and of the traditional family value. This is a proven winning combination. A failed German artist rose to power standing on “country, church and kitchen.” And millions of innocent ones died.
To add authenticity to his corporate version of truth, the message is parroted in the print media. One of his media properties used to be the most valued business organ in the United States. Once a prestigious “paper of record,” it is delivered each morning to the executive suites of America. This is a realm built behind the facade of “fair and balanced” and “we report, you decide.” It is a very seductive message. Who could ever question what one hears as news over the airwaves and confirmed in the morning newspaper. Especially, if one’s objective is to boost profits by demonizing your competitors as mouthpieces for those who destroy the nation and to remove God from His throne.
Sharing in his profits as the second largest shareholder is an Arab and not just any Arab. He is an Arab whose family sets the policy of not allowing religious freedom and enforces this law through death penalties requiring public stoning or beheading. He is a ruling member in a family who sets the policy for the strict segregation of the sexes, where woman are chained into lives where they cannot be seen in public without they face covered, cannot dive a car, cannot be out of the home unless chaperoned by a male relative or husband. He is a Prince of the Saudi ruling family who hold values totally alien to the American way of life. He also rules in this Kingdom of “fair and balanced” as a large shareholder.
Yes, these 2 men set the policies and write the paychecks for Sean and the network’s newest analyst, Sarah. But I am sure that they don’t allow their paymasters’ opinions and their business methodology to interfere with their journalistic truth-telling. cAt least, not much.
