every major contender for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination who isn’t currently holding office and isn’t named Mitt Romney is now a paid contributor to Fox News. Now, media moguls have often promoted the careers and campaigns of politicians they believe will serve their interests. But directly cutting checks to political favorites takes it to a whole new level of blatancy.

I'm shocked!!

This does put Fox in a difficult conundrum. How will they act during the GOP primaries. Going to be difficulty playing mother hen. Will they be forced to pick a favorite or sit this one out. Should be interesting

No one knows who will run yet. I am sure anyone who runs will drop out of their jobs once they announce they are running.

Rush Lmbaugh, and Fox News wouldnt exist if the mainstream media wasnt so liberal-they created a vacuum, and these folks filled it.

With all the ilk thrown at the so called right-wing media- the liberal cheerleaders in the press need only to look at themselves- if they were fair and balanced to begin with, fox news and rush, wouldnt exist.

Is there a law against that?

Conspiracy theories a perceptual state of being a victim... I'm so glad I'm not a Republican. I just couldn't bring myself to belief the horse poo you guys all repeat ad nauseum.

I was away from TV, radio and web news yesterday between 7:30A and 8:00P and O'Reilly is taped. I must have missed huge political news.

Which Republicans declared their 2012 candidacy yesterday? Did they all get together and decide to come out as candidates on the same day?

Read the article, REPUBLICAN CONTENDERS the article never stated they declared their run at all but only speculating on the "potential" contenders. You know good enough that those people are the most popular names with the republican people and though they haven't declared anything at all, some of them at least are sure writing the script for it.
