Fox News Airs Media Matters Ad On News Corp's $1 Million GOP Donation (VIDEO)

Fox News FINALLY Airs Ad About $1M GOP Donation

Media Matters' ad about News Corp's $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association finally aired Tuesday night on Fox News.

The network had rejected the ad based on a variety of claims, and after a back-and-forth with the organization, finally approved the spot.

"And now, a special message about a story that's not yet been covered on Fox News primetime, brought to you by Media Matters for America," the ad opens. It then quotes News Corp exec Jack Horner's explanation for the political donation, saying the company "believes in the power of free markets..and the RGA's pro-business agenda supports our priorities at this most critical time for our economy."

"And that's why News Corp. has donated $1 million to oppose Democratic candidates this November," the ad concludes.
