TRENDING: DGA calls for Fox News to run disclaimer
Posted: August 18th, 2010 03:34 PM ET

From CNN's Jeff Simon



(CNN) - With the knowledge that Fox News' parent company recently cut a $1 million check to the Republican Governors Association, the leader of the Democratic Governors Association is calling on the cable news network to run a "formal disclaimer" when it covers gubernatorial races.

Would you like to discuss the donations GE which is the parent company of MSNBC has made to Democrats now? :?

I read they gave over $499,000 to Obama allow. No wonder Chris Mattrews thinks it is his duty to see to it Obama is an success. :roll:

Perhaps to those who don't take an objective look at how news is reported on a daily basis it does. Have you ever noticed that Fox News programs tend to have both a lib and a conservative expressing their views on any given topic? Probably not, because most people who whine about Fox News never actually watch the network.

I'm not saying that Fox News doesn't lean to the right, but so what? CBS, MSNBC, ABC, etc gave up on the mirage long ago that they were fair and balanced.

Dan Rather fair and balanced? :lol: Keith Olberman, Chris Matthews, etc. :lol: The list continues.

Yeah, I'm bothered that Fox News' Parent company gave to pubs. In a few decades maybe the playing field will finally be level.

Libs hate Fox News because the conservative side of the issues are reported. They don't generally have that problem with the likes of MSCNBC and the other networks.

It's the backroom deals that you really need to worry about. Remember the one like Clintons campaign contributions, Blago, Bennett, Romanowski, etc.

After decades of watching the main stream media, I'm still amazed that libs actually have the balls to whine about Fox News.

Comcast, GE shower contributions to key lawmakers ahead of merger hearingBy Kim Hart - 02/03/10 03:49 PM ET

Comcast and NBC Universal’s parent company have showered campaign contributions on members of two panels holding hearings Thursday on the cable giant's proposed purchase of the television network.

Comcast and General Electric have already spent $474,000 on contributions to members of the panels, about 70 percent of what they spent over the entire political cycle of 2008, according to The Hill’s analysis of data on OpenSecrets.org.
