SHOCKER: Fox News Is One Of The Clinton’s Biggest Donors

Since they entered the national stage in 1992, one of the Clinton’s biggest donors has been none other than Fox News.

An analysis by The Wall Street Journal reveals that over the last 23 years, 21st Century Fox and News Corp – Fox News’ parent company – has donated more than $3 million to the Clinton’s various campaigns.

That’s more than other media giants like Disney (which owns ABC) and Time Warner and many major unions like the American Federation of Teachers.

 


The figure makes Fox the ninth largest contributor to Hillary Clinton.

The largest donor by far is Newsweb, a media conglomerate owned by liberal billionaire Fred Eychaner. His company has given the Clintons at least $25 million since 1992. Also on the list are some expected leftist groups and companies, along with some surprises. Here’s the top ten breakdown, along with their donations to the Clinton’s:
1.Newsweb: $25.1 million
2.Slimfast: $6 million
3.The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees: $5.4 million
4.The Coca-Cola Company: $5.3 million
5.Goldman Sachs: $5 million
6.Citigroup: $3.9 million
7.Service Employees International Union: $3.8 million
8.Communication Workers of America: $3.7 million
9.21st Century Fox / News Corp: $3 million
10.International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers: $2.7 million

The folks at TruthInMedia.com wonder if fans of Fox News (which is considered the most trusted news source in the country) would be concerned that their chosen network – which claims a “Fair and Balanced” approach to the news – is really so objective when they’re pouring millions into the Clinton’s coffers.

It’s a good question.

Something to ponder as Fox beats the drums for war and promotes the moderates.

This doesn't surprise me.  I stopped watching Fox years ago because they hired far more liberals than conservatives - and I don't like how most of their women dress like bimbos.

And yet Fox is the only network that continues to shine a light on all of Hillary's scandals, gaffes, blunders, and other such screw-ups.

Neither Roger Ailes nor Rupert Murdoch became successful by being insensitive to political influences. They know how to hedge their business bets, and also to avoid burning bridges that might, in times of trouble provide access to solid ground.

The Clintons are scum, but they are powerful and influential, regardless.

Also, there is one critical issue upon which Clinton and Murdoch are in complete agreement: Globalization.

So what.  History has shown us that Fox preaches to the choir with no affect on a presidential election.

I don't know of any network that has had a significant effect on a presidential election, especially looking back at the wins and various political ideologies that have played a role.  The point is that whatever people think of Fox and their contributions to Hillary, at least that one network hasn't let her off the hook any more than it did her husband.  Nor is there any question that they lean to the right of center.

I hardly watch Fox anymore. Haven't for a few years. Cannot stand the libs their. Will rather watch the Cnn for breaking news.

Did Arab ownership influence these donations?
