Rupert Murdoch stirs the world’s media with his biased opinions. If he buys a share of a Middle East media corp, wonder how will that turn out.
Great respect for Al Waleed and his brilliant business mind, but would prefer if it was the other way around. Perhaps Al Waleed could have influenced and corrected the bad pubilcity that has been showering the region.
