Here is a nice piece of news for those who still have doubts about the Fox news channel being nothing more than an outlet for the Republican party......Fox News' parent company recently cut a $1 million check to the Republican Governors Association... and how much for the democratic counter part? NOTHING.

It doenst  take a rocket scientist to realize in who's favor Fox will tilt their coverage of political elections. It is fair then to say that their coverage of the news is far from their claim of "fair and balanced"

In response to this revelations leaders of the Democratic Governors Association are calling on Fox news network to run a "formal disclaimer" when it covers gubernatorial races.

 

"I request that you add a formal disclaimer to your news coverage any time any of your programs cover governors or gubernatorial races between now and Election Day," DGA executive director Nathan Daschle wrote. If you do not add a disclaimer, I request that you and your staff members on the 'fair and balanced' side of the network demand that the contribution be returned."


The donation makes fox news the RGA's single largest corporate donor,

Yep, Fox News is the most skewed network on the air right now. Even The Simpsons and Family Guy point it out.

"One alternative explanation is not that they’re dumb; they just think their readers are. After all, to claim that News Corp’s donation affects the companies they own would mean arguing that because of the contribution, Family Guy, Glee, and The Simpsons are nothing but GOP propaganda. Not to mention Avatar, X-Men, the National Rugby League, and Australian Golf Digest! So to disguise the stupidity of such transparent claptrap, instead they falsely state the donation came from “Fox News”. And the echo chamber is off and running:"

"That News Corp donation we referenced above has been a hot topic on the interwebs, as you knew it would be. But many Fox Haters have decided that the truth is an insufficiently incendiary headline, so they have to falsify the story to ramp up the incitement quotient. Chris Golas [noticed]* this tactic being used by the [unreliable]** [propagandists] ^ of News Corpse:"

'A blog called "NewsCorpse" did just that with the headline: Fair And Balanced Fox News Funds GOP. In one word that is WRONG. News Corp donated the money to the RGA-NOT FOX NEWS. How dumb can someone get?'
