Report details how Fox News fueled Newt, Inc., and pushed his drill-here-drill-now agenda
..snip..
Fox News was a powerful ally when it came to boosting Gingrich’s political and business groups. As The Atlanta Journal Constitution noted, Gingrich “built a network of for-profit businesses and nonprofit organizations that seamlessly promote his vision of American government and politics. … Well before Gingrich announced his candidacy, those groups were providing him with money and public exposure.”
Fox News heavily promoted American Solutions for Winning the Future, which served as Gingrich’s non-profit political organization before he ran for president. Fox News boosted the work and profile of the Center for Health Transformation, Gingrich’s for-profit health care consulting company, and The Americano, Gingrich’s Hispanic outreach organization. Fox News also served as a constant and reliable promotional vehicle for Gingrich Productions, a for-profit conservative multimedia company run by Newt and wife Callista.

American Solutions for Winning the Future was officially launched by Gingrich on September 27, 2007. As The New York Times noted, the non-profit organization was formed “to finance and promote his speaking and traveling schedule” and “Gingrich used the group as a way to promote his ideas of government reform.” After he became a presidential candidate, Gingrich left the group and it eventually went bankrupt and shut down.
Fox News played a significant role in promoting the group and its initiatives. In one case, Gingrich, with Fox News’ help, promoted a pro-drilling petition in fifteen separate appearances. Fox News also regularly allowed Gingrich to advocate for the interests of energy companies even though American Solutions collected significant amounts of contributions from energy companies.
