Bottom line (for those of you who want to read the meaty bits):

1. Saudi Prince al-Waleed bin Talal ("the world's 22nd richest person") is the second-largest
owner of Fox News.
2. Billionaire Prince al-Waleed also funds the Kingdom Foundation.
3. Fox says that the Kingdom Foundation "funds terror groups."
4. The Prince also funds Imam Rauf, the man behind the Park 51 Muslim community center.

5. Bonus: Fox & Friends announces points 2–4 without ever naming al-Waleed.

For Fox, this means Imam Rauf is financed by terror-funders. For Stewart, this means that Fox is either Stupid or Evil.

But for us, this is valuable information, including the part about connections to Bush II. Forget the "mosque"; the Saudi royal family's relationship to right-wing and GOP politics has needed a spotlight for years. Thank you, Daily Show, for shining it.

Just wait till the Saudis start flexing their Citizens United muscles. Mr. Roberts, you are truly a "revolutionary force".

2. And here's another added little bonus...

Imam Rauf's book "What's Right with Islam Is What's Right With America" was published by HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins which is owned by... News Corp.

6. i wonder how many faux viewers also watch jon stewart though

because i can bet that they aren't going to know anything about that connection because they don't bother doing any checking of their own. if faux says it, that's good enough for them.

7. .

faux news has been the most wildly successful experiment in human engineering in recent history.

It's subjects are American citizens (stupid ones) and the "scientists" (for the most part) the Saudi Royal Family.

Bin Laden's goal to bankrupt America has essentially been achieved...through hammering stupidity as a role-model for patriotism and good American citizenship into the American public's collective mind 24/7.

potatoes vs. rocks indeed

I hope The Daily Show keeps it up; the curtain's been pulled open, and the Prince's low fore-headed puppets have been exposed as the mocking simulcra of Americanisms that they were supposed to stupidly perpetuate.

Of course, good ol' Ronnie and the Silent Majority were like lambs to slaughter...
