Jon Stewart is a genius and the best political commentator on television. However, the best political commentator on television is on Comedy Central, and that is a sad statement about the United States.
Sure. Back to you. If you own voting shares you have a say in how the company is run based on the number of shares. He owns a lot of shares. You really are ignorant aren't you.
Significant shareholders can have extraordinary influence on a company.
As the second largest shareholder of a company as big as Newscorp, as al-Waleed is, assuredly takes his shareholding ownership very seriously, very much legitimizing the hypocrisy asserted by this reporting.
You'd have to be unfathomably naive not to think otherwise.
Because I can't afford 51% of their stock you ignorant idiot. What's it like to go through life arrogant and stupid at the same time Sport?
"What Does Controlling Interest Mean?
When one shareholder or a group acting in kind holds a high enough percentage of ownership in a company to enact changes at the highest level. By definition, this figure is 50% of the outstanding shares or voting shares, plus one. However, controlling interest can be achieved with less than 50% ownership of the stock if that person/group owns a significant proportion of the voting shares, because in many cases, not every share carries a vote in shareholder meetings."

This is how all idiotic right wingers respond to facts.
"awwwww......some Liberal Stooge Bait.
GO FOR IT DIGGERS ...... lol
Memo to dopey liberal: Being a "shareholder" does not mean being a "co-owner"...duh!"
Very f**king mature. When confronted with facts, you act like a child. Then you wonder why people despise the republican party.

You all forget the right-wing rules. Jon Stewart is not allowed to call out Fox News because he's "just" a comedian.
Bet you all feel silly now.

Brilliant stuff Mr Stewart!
As tempting as the stupid option is, I'm going to have to go for Team Evil.

Really? All shareholders own a portion of the company, right?
Be careful what you write, diggreiver. You're proving your stupidity.

I watched that last night. Absolutely amazing the gall Fox has to indict it's own co-owner's foundation.
Loved the "Stupid" vs. "Evil" debate.

Uh... actually being a co-owner is EXACTLY what being a shareholder means you enormous dumbass.
