Fox Parent Funds GOP Attack Machine

Fox Parent News Corp. Funds GOP Attack Machine to the Tune of $1 Million - So Far

"It isn't like this is a complete surprise, but still, there is something incestuous about News Corp. donating $1 million to the Republican Governors' Association in order for the Republican Governors' Association to mount high-profile attack campaigns on Democratic candidates. I think it's safe for everyone to eliminate the terms "fair" and "balanced" from any discussion of Fox News.

More disturbing to me than even the editorial compromise that comes from such a contribution is the fact that the largest shareholder (besides Murdoch) in News Corp is Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who is launching an Arabic News Network in partnership with News Corp. That raises all sorts of ethical and political issues for me. Does the corporate veil shield News Corp from the ban on contributions from foreign countries? It likely does, but it certainly should disqualify Fox News from being considered a "news outlet."

News Corp. isn't the only member of the RGA Million Dollar Roundtable, either, though they hold the record for the most compromised by it. "

If these people are talking incest against Fox, the whole friggin pack of a--holes in the other networks are having sex with their mothers.

Olbermen, Madcow,Stephanopolis,Blitzer,Huffington,Couric,Chris Mathews, they never give their mothers time to breathe.Talk about incest because Fox is fair and balanced, when these other show's do not even TRY to be fair.

Meds might work for me, but unfortunately you are hopeless.

As opposed to the other guys' ads which will be rosey and positive and tell voters why that candidate is a good choice instead of simply saying why the other guy is a bad one.

it certainly should disqualify Fox News from being considered a "news outlet."

I guess that will domino into disqualifying all the other "news outlets" as well given that they copy Fox's formula in hopes of coming anywhere near Fox's ratings.
