Dem Guvs Call Out Fox Politico Plug As Illegal Contribution
See? The DGA knows how to fight back. Maybe they could give boxing lessons to their scrawny buddies at the White House!
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Democratic Governors Association filed an elections complaint in Ohio on Thursday alleging Fox News Network illegally helped the Republican governor nominee solicit funds during a television appearance.
In an escalating battle with Fox’s politically conservative news arm, the DGA alleges that Fox allowed John Kasich to request contributions from viewers during an Aug. 18 broadcast and simultaneously displayed the address of his campaign website in on-screen graphics.
The complaint alleges the free publicity during Fox’s O’Reilly Factor amounted to an improper in-kind contribution to Kasich’s campaign, which exceeded Ohio’s $11,395.56 contribution limit and lacked the proper disclaimer for political advertising. The web address appeared for 90 seconds, the complaint said.
Kasich, a former Fox commentator, later told supporters the event helped him raise $21,000, according to complaint filed with the Ohio Elections Commission. He is seeking to unseat Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland in November.
I truly believe that until the right-wing propaganda machine is held accountable (Fairness Doctrine and enforcement), this country is doomed.
Orwell, the Nazi's, and now the republicans know that playing the stupid against themselves, is as easy as getting a tea bagger to demand their own economic suicide.
I am in awe, at the sheer number of dupes and morons who are on the brink of disaster, yet are "giddy" about the prospects of republicans regaining power.
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
With ALL of Fox's dirtiness they don't seem to be making that much headway rehabilitating Bush and Co. and blaming Obama for everything. Oddly people seem to recall the bad era of Bush and its even worse ending in financial catastrophe...71% blame Bush, not Obama for the bad state of the economy.
MyMy
those are just FACTS
This is so dumb. Faux has been doing this for years. If they were going to call them out it should have been 2 years ago not 2 months before a friggin election.
