Yep, Fox News is definitely “fair and balanced”
Like any other companies, media companies have long dabbled in giving money to politicians in an effort to curry favor or protect their bottom lines. But News Corp.’s $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association isn’t business as usual – in either size or style.

Political analysts said it was highly unusual for the company not to make a comparable contribution to Democrats, in the way most corporate givers (including News Corp.) usually give – both to hedge their bets and to maintain a sense of even-handedness. And the size of the donation, the largest corporate contribution to the RGA this cycle, was eye-opening for a media company.
Just imagine the outrage we’d hear from the folks in the right wing outrage brigade if a company like NBC gave $1 million to the Democrats. No doubt the right would be up in arms if NBC donated $1 million to Democrats, but curiously they’re perfectly okay with Rupert Murdoch lining the GOP’s pockets with a nice big donation.
NBC has give billions of dollars to Democrats – it’s called MSNBC 😉
actually I would bet that if you looked at the parent of MSNBC, you would probbaly ifnd that GE gives tons to the republicans also.
