i think doug's analogy was a bad one.....it would have been more illustrative to ask if the NYT would be any different if it were owned by a palestinian or arab muslim family. that's the fix.....it's very difficult to answer that definatively, one would have to first ask would it be even possible for a palestinian or arab muslim family to own the NYT. what if the saudi royals or some other wealthy saudi family owned it?
fairly easy to speculate it would prob be rabidly anti shia.....that serves the interest of the state....but would it be rabidly pro israel?
