Someone's gotta pay Megyn Kelly and Karl Rove's salaries at Fox, right?

After struggling to gain traction in the 2016 race, Jeb Bush's campaign announced last week it is relaunching the campaign. It appears his super PAC is doling out some significant cash to encourage the campaign to lift-off.
According to independent expenditure disclosures that we spotting on Sunlight's Real-Time Federal Campaign Finance tracker, it appears Right To Rise USA is doubling down and going after the Republican base by placing more than $6.6 million dollars in ads exclusively on the Fox News Channel. The super PAC spent $18,932 producing those commercials, which were placed by a Virginia-based firm known as Oath Strategies, LLC.
We don't know exactly which commercials that expense purchased, but just last week Right to Rise USA posted this 15-second spot on YouTube promoting Jeb Bush's nickname of "Veto Corleone," a play on the name "Vito Corleone" from the movie "The Godfather."
It's unclear during which shows those ads will run, for how long the ads will run - and whether Right to Rise USA knows that Vito dies in the first movie of the trilogy. (Also, good luck reading that microscopic disclaimer.)

Another reason we won’t be watching Fox any more.
As if the implied endorsement by almost all of the Fox News talking heads isn’t enough...
Looks like Rupert Murdoch told Mike Murphy to cough up his donors’ cash or Jeb’s gonna get the hook.
Right. No wonder Faux News is in the tank for Yeb.
Hot dang! The most dynamic political candidate in recent history is about to take the country by storm! I hope he decided to use the slogan I suggested: “Jeb - he’s not as butt-stupid as he acts!” Maybe he’ll send me a free campaign button...
nailed it shut.
Why would Yeb be trying still if this whole thing is not already a set up?
The whole political machine is fishy.
Why would he not drop out seeing his numbers are so bad?
Dana on the 5 on Friday putting down Trump and sticking up for yebby. Why?(I knwo why) Megyn asking Trump those stupid questions about women.......I wanted to reach through the TV and choke her Father forgive me. GO TRUMP more than ever.
The more $$ Bushee spends the more folks dislike him... sooo should he spend more?
Flush!
I have seen the commericals on Fox. They suck. You see a pictures of “Jeb!” signs and then a very boring man named Jeb talks. One of the worst political commercials ever seen.
Mythought as well ....
From Jeb! donors straight to the news media. Who are pushing Jeb! unto the world stage.
Waste of money.
I do not think redefinition of a candidate as familiar as Bush is possible at this point. He's at 4% and at 4% he will stay.
Primary voters have weighed Yeb and have found him a squish.
Fox did, however, get their windfall piece of the pie from the Bush "stash".
When are we going to have some more candidates drop out?
