Fox's media criticism show ignores News Corp. donations to GOP-aligned groups | Media Matters for America
On today's edition of Fox News' purported media analysis show, Fox News Watch, host Jon Scott and the show's panelists lined up to disparage President Obama's recent criticism of their network as pushing a "destructive" political viewpoint. But somehow, the show ran out of time before the panelists could discuss the recent revelation that Fox parent News Corp. gave $1 million to an organization spending tens of millions of dollars to defeat Democratic congressional candidates.
Politico's Ben Smith has reported that according to a source "close to News Corp.," the company believed the donations were "supposed to be secret." Fox News Watch is certainly doing everything it can to keep them that way.
