Fox News is the GOP
Today we learn about another huge donation to the Republican Party’s campaign efforts from Fox News owner News Corp.
News Corp., the parent company of Fox News, contributed $1 million this summer to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the business lobby that has been running an aggressive campaign in support of the Republican effort to retake Congress, a source close to the company told POLITICO.
It was the second $1 million contribution the company has made this election cycle to a GOP-aligned group. In late June it gave that amount to the Republican Governors Association.
There’s apparently no law against this, but the ethical problems are incredibly obvious when one of the most popular cable news networks is openly funding the new, far right Republican Party. This is what corruption looks like.
