The Democrats are escalating their attack on Fox News over the $1 million donation by the network's parent company to the Republican Governors Association.
In a letter Wednesday to Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes, the head of the Democratic Governors Association said: "In the interest of some fairness and balance, I request that you add a formal disclaimer to your coverage any time any of your programs covers governors or gubernatorial races between now and Election Day."
Nathan Daschle, the group's executive director, even suggested the wording: "News Corp., parent company of Fox News, provided $1 million to defeat Democratic governors in November." Otherwise, he said, Fox executives should demand that the donation be returned.
Either outcome is extremely unlikely, but Daschle, who has already put out a fundraising letter about the News Corp. contribution, is doing what he can to keep the story alive.

double standards bump
How about a disclaimer from the MSM that 95% of them vote democrat?
Boo freaking hoo. Do the dems want some cheese with that whine?
REALLY!
How about all the msm’s FREE shilling for the DUMS.
Cry babies, they’re just mad because they don’t have the most watched news in their pockets too
This is hilarious. How many reporters from the MSM donated to Obama or the Democrats last election cycle?
How much did GE who own NBC, MSNBC and CNBC send to the Dims?
Probably a lot more.
No complaints that 90% of the MSM donated to Democrats.
Why aren’t they already providing ‘disclosure statements’ on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, AP, NYT, LAT, etc.,etc. ?
The “mainstream press” doesn’t lean Democrat, it “is” the Democratic Party.
but it was perfectly legitimate when the administration declared war on fox news . . . jeeez, of COURSE fox is hostile to dems now. (a) dems are hell bent on destroying anything that even looks like a profitable corporation, and (b), a democrat president (or his minions, which is the same thing) had already declared war on them.
fox, in that frame of reference, is merely defending itself.
Whaaa! How dare you give money to anyone but us Whaaa!
Will they be sending a similar letter to MSNBC?
To be a liberal politician is synonymous with being a hypocrite.
Do as I say, not as I day. We truly need a conservative REVOLUTION. The left needs to understand we thuis is war and we are playing for keeps.
Why doesn't Fox do this as a simple news item that starts with their own donation? It is legitimate news.
I don’t recall the Dems crying when Rupert Murdoch was hosting fundraisers for Hillary Clinton...
Will they be sending a similar letter to ABC News?
Will they be sending a similar letter to CNN?
news corp. gave over $100,000 to democrat congressional candidates and its campaign committees.
