The Hill published an article that was based a post on the Sunlight Foundation that emphasized News Corp’s donations to Democrats,
Political donations by News Corp., its employees and their families were evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, with President Obama the all-time leading recipient, according to a report from the Sunlight Foundation.

News Corp’s top recipients in 2009 and 2010 were three Democrats, Sen. Barbara Boxer ($58,900), Rep. Henry Waxman ($28,900), and Rep. Howard Berman ($19,360). At first glance this doesn’t make much sense until you know that Barbara Boxer sits on the Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet. News Corp has also given oodles of money to Sen. John Kerry, and I’ll bet you’ll never guess which Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet he is the chairman of?
