Conrad Black

Conrad Black is a former media mogul whose Hollinger International empire once included the Daily Telegraph, the Jerusalem Post and the Chicago Sun-Times. He was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison for fraud and obstruction of justice in December 2007.[1] While Black was the proprietor of The Telegraph the newspapers journalists complained that his pro-Israeli views were affecting editorial policy. According to a report in The Guardian:

"Three prominent writers - all of them past contributors to Mr Black's Telegraph group have signed a letter to the Spectator accusing him of abusing his responsibilities as a proprietor. Such is the vehemance with which Mr Black has expounded his pro-Israli held view, they say, no editor or reporter would dare to write frankly about the Palestinian perspective"[2].
