How the hell does this fool think organizations exist outside of donations?

The media assholes apparently had no problem with Fox, a news organization, giving $1 million each to the Chamber of Commerce and the Republican Governors association, but they have a problem with Soros, a private citizen, giving money to a private media watchdog group?

4. Howie is typical Media. OK for Republicans but wrong for Democrats.

How about Mr Murdoch giving his Millions, to GOP Governors and
just recently another million.

11. It's right there in the Constitution....

"Freedom speech and of the press for conservatives, but not liberals."

Everybody knows that, right?
