That's right. K. Rupert Murdoch.

Notice in this list, he title is shown as "News Corporation Chairman" not "Fox News Corporation Chairman."

1. gentle reminder

your bias is showing, unless you are willing to reveal what every candidate is getting in contributions

[MethuenProgressive]

36. $2300 to Clinton, $500,000.00 to Edwards from NewsCorp

:boring:

[L0oniX]

2. G.E is also backing her ...if you had not noticed on MSNBC

G.E. maker of detonation devices for nuclear weapons as well as nuclear submarines and many other tools of war and death.

3. I think Rupert knows which way

the wind is blowing.

[LeftCoast]

4. I think your facts are incorrect, but if she did - Good for her!

I would encourage all Dems as possible to take as much money as possible from as many republicans as they can. Less money for them to use against us.

[rateyes]

5. Click on the links...

it's from the FEC. Facts are correct.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. I Think He Also Contributed To Ted Kennedy, Max Cleland, And John Kerry

15. Did he host fundraisers for them?

Link to those donations please.

[MagickMuffin]

26. Here's a great place to look at how much all candidates

However, the link I provided deals with Murdoch. On the right hand side there is a box with all the candidates names.

Enjoy

29. Did he host fundraisers for them?

It's a simple question.


A candidate must agree to a fundraiser, where naked contributions are more difficult to control.

The distinction is why so many distrust Clinton, her spin machine steam rollers over any effort to distinguish.

[MagickMuffin]

33. I only provided the link for research purposes

I don't have an answer to your question. You'll have to do your own research on finding your simple answer.

If you're that interested in your answer call Clinton's campaign headquarters.

[LeftCoast]

7. Well, that's $2300 less that Murdoch has to spend on Republicans

Sorry. Not outraged.

*shrug*

[emilyg]

16. Good point.

[Orsino]

19. Ugh.

I would encourage candidates to take as little corporate money as they can, especially from human waste like Murdoch.

Do we really expect the next president Clinton to give Murdoch no consideration after taking his money?

[peace frog]

8. Good for Hillary!

She should take as much of their money as they will cough up, then kick them in the teeth when she's in power. Trash riding her coattails will drag her down, and she knows it.

[saracat]

9. Except she won't.She'll be nice because there will be another election cycle she needs them for!

[peace frog]

11. She won't need them then

She will be overwhelmingly reelected, just as Bill was.

Kick 'em in the teeth, Hill! But first take from them all the moolah you can wrest.

[saracat]

13. She might not "need' it but she will "want". It. need versus greed.

[LeftCoast]

17. Huh. If $2300 is all it takes to buy her, maybe I should send her some dough.

:shrug:

[saracat]

18. Nah. Takes more than that.Ya gotta "bundle". But you will definately be able to "buy"

some influence.

[LeftCoast]

20. Hmm....I disagree

I don't think he's provided nearly enough funds to gain any kind of influence.

Maybe we'll see if she wins.

[saracat]

27. And FOX has already been treating Hillary with velvet gloves for a reason.

I wonder if they got an "internal memo" just like the ones in the Greenwald film?????

[peace frog]

28. Bwaaa ha ha ha

:tinfoilhat: Mmmmmmmm... tinfoil.

:rofl:

[creeksneakers2]

37. You've got to be kidding! n/t

[warren pease]

10. And here's who's contributing to Kucinich's campaign...

Hint: It's 99 percent non-corporate, with the very weird exception of $3,350 from General Electric.

Even the EPA and the US Geological Survey are contributing to his campaign, demonstrating how desperate the scientists, researchers, field workers and the rest of the rank and file are to get rid of the kind of corporatist cost/benefits operation they're currently stuck with.

Of course, there's that troublesome $2,300 from Pacific Bakery. If he's elected, I expect they'll lobby him hard to let them use white frosting on chocolate cupcakes and vice versa. Chocolate sprinkles, too... lots of sprinkles.

DK is doing shockingly well -- despite the universal scorn of the corporate, political, pundit and editorial castes -- because his agenda looks a lot like the old Democratic party agenda from back in a time when they seemed to listen to actual people rather than pollsters and strategy advisers.

And what a fine job the experts are doing: pollsters who won't poll on impeachment; advisers who tell them the way to get reelected in 2008 is to continue to look weak, cowardly, inept while standing for absolutely nothing; strategists who tell them that their mid-teens approval rating would be in jeopardy if they were to impeach a world-class bastard with a 9 percent approval rating.

Anyway, if you like what Kucinich did this past week, agree with his agenda and support actual democracy -- as contrasted with the quadrennial ratification exercise in which we "choose" one of two corporate/media/beltway-approved stick figures -- slip him a few bucks. It's the only campaign donation I've ever made that made me smile rather than hold my nose.

Edited to supply link to opensecrets.org, where you can see what the rest of them collected and then drill down by candidate to see who gave what -- for example, this breakout for Wall Street and insurance industry darling Barack Obama.

12. **crickets**

Ahhhh, the sounds of silence. :popcorn:

[proud2BlibKansan]

:applause:

[Orsino]

21. Now *that's* a presidential candidate. n/t

[LWolf]

22. Excellent.

:applause:

[Cha]

25. Rec'd the whole

thread! :)

[scarletwoman]

23. Thank you, WP! Excellent post! (nt)

[Cha]

24. I'm so happy there are people out there

who appreciate Dennis Kucinich as much as I do. A real person who is working for We The People and not the corporatewhore Mill and up past their hairy eyeballs in military complex cash just bloody oozing in.

[KoKo]

31. Great Points....and links to see what the rest are up to.....!

:thumbsup:

[magellan]

34. Great info

It's sick to see how much various corporations have given the front-runners. It shouldn't be legal.

[MonkeyFunk]

30. The designation is correct

Roger Ailes is chairman and CEO of Fox News. Murdoch is chairman of the parent company, NewsCorp.

[Solar_Power]

32. She should donate that contribution to charity

[Yael]

35. K & R

The Revolution will not be televised...

[guruoo]

38. I'd take that sucka's money, too. n/t
