The response I received was as follows:
“Did you know that the Pentagon gives Fox 600 million every year in Government advertising? True fact...”
I never heard of such a thing, have you?
Gotta look into this one :)
My response:
IF TRUE, THEN IT OUGHT TO BE STOPPED. BUT WHERE’s YOUR RELIABLE SOURCE FOR THAT?
I can always say the Pentagon gives CNN a billion dollars a year too.
The number sounds a bit ridiculous, but what do I know.
If the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines buy advertising on Fox News, it's because they feel that audience is one they would like to recruit.
Purchasing advertising from the number one cable news network is a business transaction, entered into willingly by all parties. Nobody "gives" anybody anything.
