Fox News Refuses To Discuss GOP Donation
Posted by Mark on August 17, 2010 at 3:12 pm.


When former White House Director of Communications, Anita Dunn, said that Fox News was an arm of the Republican Party, she was merely articulating a fact that was known to many for years. And now that it has been revealed that Fox’s parent company, News Corp, made a $1,000,000 donation to the Republican Governor’s Association, there can be no more doubt. But it gets even worse as reported by Sam Stein at The Huffington Post:

In a brief interview with the Huffington Post, Nathan Daschle, the executive director of the DGA, said that he has tried on numerous occasions to go on Fox News to discuss the donation made by News Corp. None of his entreaties have been answered as of 3:30 p.m on Tuesday.

“We haven’t gotten a single phone call or email returned. We want to engage in a discussion with them about this,” Daschle said. “But they didn’t even respond.”


The story further details that emails were sent to numerous Fox producers on several different programs, but no one responded. I wouldn’t assume that there will be no coverage of this story at all in the next few days, but it will be coverage after Fox has had time to develop their spin and formulate an attack strategy to blame the “liberal” media for the whole affair.

It’s typical that Fox News is presently consumed with a non-story about a non-mosque that is not at ground zero, but doesn’t have time to even respond to the head of the Democratic Governor’s Association on an unprecedented matter that concerns the network itself.

2. Note to Megyn: save a little outrage for this story.
You've been letting it fly fast & furious re: the Black Panther/voting issue...let's take a moment, and talk about the objectivity of the company who signs your checks.

6. Yes, that's our weakness
Edited on Wed Aug-18-10 06:26 PM by Fla Dem
When Faux News wants to create a perception (Acorn) or political augment, they repeat the same message on all their programming; from their morning show right through to Hannity at night, for several days. Plus, they get their talking point out to all the RW talkers. It then becomes "the issue" and some msm pick up on their talking point. Other than MSNBC occasionally carrying the water for the democrats, we just don't have the megaphone.
