RawStory: Fair and slanted: Fox executives funnel cash to Santorum, GOP
I'm sure this will just absolutely shock everyone, but...

(...)

A review of declared donations indicates that, with few exceptions (such as Chernin's donations to Berman for Congress and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and Greta Van Susteren's donation to her sister's campaign for Senate) higher-ups at the "fair and balanced" cable news outlet overwhelmingly give GOP.

Two Fox Government Relations executives have also given to Santorum. Michael Regan and Paul Jackson have doled out $2,100 and $1,500 to the senator's re-election campaign, respectively. Regan has also donated $1,000 each to the Republican National Committee and Longhorn PAC.

The PAC seems to be a favorite recipient for Fox executives. President and Chief Operating Officer Peter Chernin, International President Joseph Traynor, Senior Executive Vice President Lawrence Jacobs, Director Lachlan Martin, Asst. Controller Anthony Santabarbara, Attorney Arthur Siskind, and Executive Vice Presidents David De Voe, Gary Ginsberg, Paul Haggerty, John Hallen, Leon Hertz, Ian Moore, and Martin Pompadur have all given over $200 to the PAC this election cycle.

Longhorn has distributed $23,466 to Republican House candidates for the coming elections. Indicted former speaker Tom DeLay and fellow Texas Republican Michael McCaul have each received $5,000 of the sum. Of the remaining 22 candidates Longhorn has supported, just one received a donation of more than $1,000 (Van Taylor, another Texan).

2. One big Happy Family.
They should just change their name to the Republican News Network and just be honest about it. They'd only have to alter their trademark slightly, too -"fairly unblanced". I don't think they fool anyone...except maybe those that watch the network because they really think they are fair and balanced.

5. As a former PA repub, it;'s been 20 yrs, but I think the port deal
exploded their heads. There are alot of good, hard working and naive people that were raised Repub., that's why I am saying this. They still trusted the gov't, little by little, that trust was eroded, they are now so pissed, albeit for the wrong reasons, but, I think that PA is gonna rebel in too large numbers that it couldn't even be steal worthy!
