Think Progress:

In June, Fox News' parent company News Corporation gave a $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association. This evening, IRS disclosures reveal that News Corporation gave another check, time for $250,000, bringing his total donation amount to $1,250,000. Other donors include Bill Koch, who donated $100,000, Swift Boat-funder Bob Perry, who gave $3.5 million, and right-wing casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who gave $1 million to the Republican campaign group.

Fox is demanding from dish Network more than a 50% increase to carry their channels and when dish refused, Fox pulled some of the channels. Today the same thing happened with cable-vision for the same reason. I now understand why they are demanding such an increase. They expect TV watchers, mostly who are commoners, to pay for their donations.

If the Republicans regain the house this year it will be a victory for this creep and all that are like him. Dick Armey knows who to buy and those he buys know how to package there lies. I am truly afraid for the Country this time.
