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.

Will they be sending a similar letter to the NY Times?
The death mosque must have first amendment protection but Fox News must not.

Shirley this will be pointed out to Daschle...
If there's one thing that is constant in our present world, it is that Democrats will be whining and demanding.
TOO funny to make a serious comment on.
What we are watching are desparate people trying to lash out at anything and everything hoping to draw blood and change the focus. Democrats are in a freefall that has not been seen in over one hundred years. I predict that the Republicans will win 80 seats in the House and the majority in the Senate. American people are finally awake and we are in the process of yanking the steering wheel from the drug addled urban youth that have car jacked the country. The landing is going to be a rough one, but we will survive.
Pray helps.

This took longer than I thought.
I think I’ll get rid of my GE stock.
I’d like to see an estimate of the value of the positive, and often distorted, publicity the MSM gives to the Democrats.
It's a number that might just become very useful.
Apparently, they’ve forgotten about the fundraiser Murdoch sponsored for Hitlery’s Senate campaign.
The MSM wants to be rid of any tool useful to Conservatives.

That’s a good idea. Fox could report on the donatioms from all media outlets and to whom they are give. It will take more time to list the donations from the media to the rat party.
