Anti-Fox News Ad to Air on Fox News Tonight (Airing tonight on "The O'Reilly Factor")
TV Newser ^ | September 14, 2010 | Alex Werpin

In August, liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America generated a fair amount of publicity when it said it wanted to buy an ad on Fox News in response to News Corp.'s $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association.

Fox News said it would air the ad, provided some minor tweaks were made and MMFA ponied up the dough. Well, Media Matters has made the tweaks and come up with the cash, so the ad will air on "The O'Reilly Factor" tonight:

Talk about being comfortable in their own skin.

Fox ain’t insecure.

“I’m sure that FOX doesn’t mind taking their money, but will their viewers really care ?? “

LMFAO at the stupid bstrds at Media Doesn’t Matter ... typical libtards ... no business sense ... the Fox viewers will think it is a joke, a dumb thing to do or something ... but they won’t stop watching. At a million a pop? I’d run them all day if I was Fox ... have Kelly do one of her eye rolls after each one.

It seems Media Matters has acknowledged where they will get the most viewers. It ain't CNN or any other MSM anymore.

It actually comes off as a pro-Fox News ad to me. I know MM didn’t mean it that way though...

I seriously doubt it. Just today 97% voted in a Fox News poll to repeal obamacare. L>L

The highest rated show on any cable station. So, yes, but cable is MUCH smaller than non-cable.

I predict we will soon see liberal outrage that these idiots gave “Faux News” all that money which could have been used for campaigns or something.

That ad was really stupid in the way that you know had the white wine libs applauding and thinking “We’re so CLEVER! Take THAT FAUX!”

http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2010/20100819153400.aspx

According to OpenSecrets.org, Time Warner gave $2.3 million to Democrats during the 2008 election cycle, and since 1990, 72 percent of Time Warner’s political donations went to Democrats.

according to OpenSecrets.org, in 2008, 100 percent of MSNBC Cable’s donations went to Democrats and 99 percent of NBC’s donations went to Democrats.

Additionally, so far in 2010, 100 percent of ABC News’s donations have gone to Democrats and CBS Corporation’s PAC has contributed $51,000 to Democrats in 2010.

The Media Research Center previously noted News Corp.’s donations favored Democrats and that other outlets critical of the donation, such as Viacom’s Comedy Central, have all given substantial money to Democrats, yet there is no outrage over their political contributions.
