Why are Fox contributors and hosts are allowed to raise money for GOP?

It proves that they're not a legitimate news organization, nor are they as "fair and balanced" as they like to suggest.

ROFL... Fox is nothing when stacked up against practically every other newspaper and news channel on the planet yet it gets the left in such a rage. You do realize by their own admission the main stream media is overwhelmingly Democrat?

They're allowed because Faux isn't a real news network and instead are nothing but the GOP's propaganda outlet which spews lies.

Hmmm....be very careful as to who you are pointing fingers at.

CNN Cable TV - Money,Politics,Campaign Contributions,Politics,CNN Cable TV

CNN has given $78,360 (1999 - Present) in campaign contributions. Of that:

Total Contribution Dollar Amount to Republicans: $9,550 (12% of total)

Total Contribution Dollar Amount to Democrats: $45,960 (59% of total)

What's that? Shock and dismay?

BTW, on that website you can find info on any company you desire. For instance, for the 2010 campaign cycle, NBC has given $111,165...and overwhelmingly to Democratic entities or individuals. I am so shocked!

Last time I checked, they are all private citizens and are free to contribute to whom they choose.

Whats this? Liberals whining because a host of a tv show is allowed to have an individual voice and campaign for who they want? Can we say Oprah anyone?

Hosts and contributors.
Hosts-talking heads who opine?
Contributors-free lancers who are interviewed?

And the issue is?

Were it one of the news rather than the opinion folks it wouldn't pass my smell test. But then again I know the difference between people who are paid to do opinion shows/pieces and those who report the news.

I nearly lost a load when I saw what your source was. Throw Ed Schultz in with Media Matters and you have a load of crap that would be bigger than what I nearly dropped.

I watched it and came closer to dropping my load.

Can you say a whole lot about the way the elected and appointed members of our present administration are trying so hard to destroy both Fox and the Tea Party people. They are accusing of things that just haven't taken place and only because those they accuse are getting too scary for them to deal with. I love this kind of crap so keep it coming.

Based upon 20 years of working for three major news organizations, the activities that FOX has allowed its employees engage in represent the most egregious and blatant violation of the most basic tenets and policies concerning journalistic ethics that I have ever witnessed, or heard of. The one cardinal rule of journalism, is that in order to maintain even the appearance of objectivity, journalist must never become personally involved in any organization, or activity in which they might report on, period.
