The Fair and Balanced Approach to Defeating John Lynch

by: Dean Barker

Mon Aug 16, 2010 at 21:23:46 PM EDT


The unofficial media arm of the GOP pays its party dues:
News Corp., which owns Fox News and the New York Post, gave $1 million to Haley Barbour's Republican Governors Association this year, according to the RGA's most recent filing.

The company's media outlets play politics more openly than most, but the huge contribution to a party committee is a new step toward an open identification between Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and the GOP. The company's highest-ranking Democratic executive, Peter Chernin, recently departed.

Every time you watch FAUX News, you are in a way assisting the effort to defeat John Lynch.

One more reason to change the channel - or better yet - toss out your TeeVee!

Due to the defeat.... (4.00 / 1)
Of corporate disclosure laws in NH, News Corp. can contribute unlimited amounts to a group like National Organization for Marriage or Cornerstone and not disclose one penny of it. That defeat had nothing to do with free speech.  



"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."  Franklin D. Roosevelt    


Stunning (0.00 / 0)
I'm left wondering whether the Republican Governors Association actually campaigns, but that's a side issue. News Corp. donating to either party is a stunning breach of journalistic ethics.

Yes, I know Murdoch held a fundraiser for Hillary once, but that was Murdoch the individual, not the organization.

Wow.
