August 19, 201016 yr Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, the parent company for Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, recently made a $1 million contribution to the Republican Governors Association, a partisan 527 designed to bolster GOP gubernatorial campaigns. News Corp. also, expectedly, didn’t donate to the Democratic Governors Association. I know the article won't be popular in this forum but it's hard to see how FOX News can keep the fair and balanced tag after this, not that they've had it in recent years any way. STORY LINK
August 19, 201016 yr Did anyone not know Murdoch is conservative and that Fox leans right? Why should anyone explain anything away?
August 19, 201016 yr Did anyone not know Murdoch is conservative and that Fox leans right? Why should anyone explain anything away? I think the comments stem from assertions by Fox, and by many people who watch, that Fox is fair and balanced, in essence, unbiased.
August 19, 201016 yr Good for them... At least they believe in the power of free markets... They have also donated lots of money to Dems seeking senate and house seats that feel the same way...
August 19, 201016 yr Good for them... At least they believe in the power of free markets... They have also donated lots of money to Dems seeking senate and house seats that feel the same way... That's interesting. Who are some of the Dems they've supported? I'm at work and can't search.
August 19, 201016 yr Chuck Schumer and even Harry Reid are a couple... I'll find some more later.. Harry Reid?! That one surprises me.
August 19, 201016 yr That's interesting. Who are some of the Dems they've supported? I'm at work and can't search.$1 million to the Republican Governors Association ... $8,000 to Harry Reid and $5,000 to Nancy Pelosi.
August 19, 201016 yr $1 million to the Republican Governors Association ... $8,000 to Harry Reid and $5,000 to Nancy Pelosi. They donated to Nancy Pelosi too? :lol: That's really funny! Or, does that include employee donations?
August 19, 201016 yr They donated to Nancy Pelosi too? :lol: That's really funny! Or, does that include employee donations?Sounds like News Corp is sucking up to power ... :lol:
August 19, 201016 yr The fact is Fox leans hard right, and CNN and MSNBC bow to the left. No suprise there. To say they are fair and balanced is not true, although I do think they try harder than the others to show the opposite viewpoint, the problem is the hacks they come up with to defend the lefty position usually get blown away.

August 19, 201016 yr Or shouted down and interrupted while they try to make a point ... Such is our political commentary these days.
