It's not just sponsorship of media companies, it's outright ownership.

Straight from Saudi Arabia's mouth, a billionaire prince owns a significant portion of AOL Time Warner:

This is just one example. People need to do their research and wake up to what's happening around them.

Dude he's a billionaire, of course he invests huge amounts of money in things.

To suggest the US wants Saudi investment in its stock market that has the sole impact of pushing up one cable company's stock price is absurd and obtuse.
