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.

Well, here’s my theory: whenever the Rats are opposed to something, then that something has probably got some damn fine merits to it!
Is Nathan any relation to Tom?
Gee whiz Daddy, why can’t Fox be a lap dog to us DemCraps like ABCNNBCBS and the Washington Toast who helped spread the word about this?
When we give a stimulus to save the papers and networks, let’s make sure that we exclude Fox because they are not a legitimate news organization. <s but hope it wasn’t needed.
