Got to love not only the crowd being riled up by the Fox producer, but more so that Ms. Noonan can be seen on the cell phone. Does anyone doubt that she is talking to someone watching from a central location, i.e. one with many monitors watching the rally, coverage of the rally on t.v., the radio, the internet, etc. Fairly ******* surreal in my book.

In August 2005 the Murdoch family owned only about 29% of the company. However, nearly all of these shares were voting shares, and Rupert Murdoch retained effective control of the company. Nonetheless, John Malone of Liberty Media had built up a large stake, with about half of the shares being voting shares. Therefore, in November 2006, News Corporation announced its intention to transfer its 38.5 per cent managing interest in DirecTV Group to John Malone's Liberty Media; in return it bought back Liberty's 16.3% shares in News Corp., giving Murdoch tighter control of the latter firm.[11] Murdoch sold 17.5 million class A shares in December 2007.[12]
Saudi prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who is an investment tycoon and chairman of the Kingdom Holding Company, said in an interview with Charlie Rose that he had about a 6-7% stake in News Corp.[13][14]
