When Propaganda Isn't Enough: News Corp. Donates $1 Million To Republican Governors Association
Reported by Ellen - August 18, 2010 -
As if Fox News were not a big enough gift to the GOP, now comes word that its parent company, News Corp., has donated $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. As The New York Times reported, the donation was one of the "biggest ever given by a media organization... The News Corporation’s contribution was one of three donations of $1 million or more that the Republican group received in the last quarter."
As Think Progress reported, the donation may violate News Corp.'s own company policy. Yet, as Media Matters noted, Fox News has been silent about the donation and has denied airtime to the Democratic Governors Association to discuss it.
