Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has become one of the casualties of the Saudi crackdown!!!!

Yay!

One of Rupert Murdoch's key business allies, who was arrested in last week's corruption crackdown in Saudi Arabia, has quietly sold off his $1.5 billion stake in 21st Century Fox.

Key points:
For the first three quarters of 2017, the Prince, a huge backer of Murdoch, owned 39,737,915 shares.

That went down to zero in the fourth quarter.
The shares' new owners remain unknown at this stage

The business relationship between Mr Murdoch and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is now under new scrutiny, with Mr Murdoch's control over his family-controlled business empire looking more uncertain.

"This is very big news," Murdoch watcher and shareholder activist Stephen Mayne said after the company confirmed Prince Alwaleed had offloaded his shareholdings in Fox and News Corporation.

"He's been the number one backer of Murdoch family control of the public companies for the last 20 years."

One of the world's richest men, the Prince is one of dozens of royal family members, officials and business leaders arrested in Saudi Arabia in recent days.

As to the "Yay", I believe that reader H., being an Aussie, may not understand that we here in the U.S. do not have as negative an opinion of Rupert Murdoch, since his Fox News channel provides the only major non-leftist mainstream news here. Incidentally, Fox News is not one of the Fox properties Murdoch is trying to sell to Disney. He apparently intends to hold on to it.
