Who is the No. 2 owner of Fox News, and what did he say

By Katie Sanders
January 8, 2014

The Facebook post with the man in traditional Arab dress and a herd of camels purports to be a public service announcement.

The meme identifies the man as “Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal” and quotes him as saying, “A strong American Government is not good for us.”

The twist: “#2 Owner of Fox News. Just thought you should know.”

The post by Americans Against the Republican Party was shared and liked thousands of times, generating a ton of discussion. A reader asked us to weigh in.
