    Default if this is confirmed the middle east is about to undergo HUGE changes ...

    It is a fact that the infamous middle eastern satellite TV news network Al Jazeera has been in difficult financial straits since its "extreme" coverage of hostages, beheadings etc. chased away many advertisers. It is also a fact that, in order to raise money to continue operations, Al Jazeera has for months considering selling stock in its network.

    I just heard a report on ABC radio that Rupert Murdock, the billionaire owner of Fox News Network and many other media outlets, has just cut a deal to buy out the Al Jazeera network !!!

    Wow! That would be wild.

    During the Iraqi elections, I read that the European media was more against it than the Arab media was. So there are some changes going on out there already.

    Al Jazeera was particularily disdainful of the election and didn't rate well.

    Apparently the rest of the Arab world would like the "Iraqi Option" and to vote.
