What??? Explain this to me ...
... I was looking at :

http://www.choosetheblue.com/main.php?backlevel=002..001Choose%20The%20Blue.002Entertainment%20and%20News&prodcat=Television+and+Cable+TV

at choosetheblue.com, and it says that the News Corp., parent of Fox News, actually gives more money to Democrats! Do you think it's the other divisions besides Fox News that outweigh it?

1. Are these donations from the org themselves
or the people who work for them?

2. Perhaps in cash...but never in "propaganda-spin"
Ifr they do this, you can bet it's just another "stick in the eye", so they can say "fair and balanced"..:puke:

3. No, I think Murdoch is a very smart cookie.
Remember that every FOX news broadcast is a donation-in-kind to the Republicans.

4. How Much Are 4,280,800 30-second spots worth?
Edited on Sat Nov-27-04 01:28 PM by AndyTiedye
Since Faux has been stumping for Booosh pretty-much 24x7
for four years now, we have to talking about tens of billions,
at least, if Repubs had to buy airtime the way Democrats do.

That's just from Faux News alone.

5. Surprisingly, they give more to Dems than to the GOP
http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/contrib.asp?Ind=B02

So the question is, why do they cater to the right?

6. i'd reverse the question:
they cater to the right, so why do they give more to dems?

perhaps only to keep up appearances.
