Sharron Angle: It's going really well. If you're interested in just the Internet part of that -- and of course I've been criticized for saying that I like to be friends with the [press] -- but here's the deal: when I get a friendly press outlet -- not so much the guy that's interviewing me -- it's their audience that I'm trying to reach. So, if I can get on Rush Limbaugh, and I can say, "Harry Reid needs $25 million. I need a million people to send twenty five dollars to SharronAngle.com." The day I was able to say that [even], he made $236,000 dollars. That's why it's so important. Somebody...I'm going on Bill O'Reilly the 16th. They say, "Bill O'Reilly, you better watch out for that guy, he's not necessarily a friendly"...Doesn't matter, his audience is friendly, and if I can get an opportunity to say that at least once on his show -- when I said it on Sean Hannity's television show we made $40,000 before we even got out of the studio in New York. It was just [great]. So that's what I'm really reaching out to is that audience that's had it with Harry, and you can watch that happen when I go on those shows. Go on my website, it starts coming in. We have an automatic...when you put your name in there and it doesn't tell how much you gave, but it tells your name and where you're from. And so you can just watch it; it just rolls like this. In fact, with Rush Limbaugh we put it all down. We couldn't take the ticker going fast enough. And we've pulled in over [3,000,000] dollars just from that kind of a message going out.
For what? That she gets donations after people hear her talk?
Sharron Angle brags about her fundraising from "friendly" outlets like Fox News
Why isn't the FCC looking into this?

I find it odd you are serious.

They play fast and loose the equal time rule. Promoting a link or phone number for donations steps outside the bonafide 'news' interview exception.
Hell, being interviewed by Hannity is in no ****ing way a bonafide NEWS interview.

I'm sorry you find that so offensive.

Because there is nothing wrong with it. Chris Coons the marxist was on MSNBC. He probably got a few donations from their 10 viewers.
Should they be investigated?
Our president has pretty much declared fox as not a reliable news source anyway, so what's the big deal? Call it the right arm of the tea party or whatever you like. I doubt it'll hurt their ratings because they are the best thing on.
Was his website promoted?
Again, do you have links to anything indicating that this is relevant?
Unless you can show what the legal standards are and how they were violated in this particular case, I don't see how you can argue that the FCC should be involved.
Jeez, read the article before replying, will ya?
Get it, now?
I read the whole little semi-news 'report'
What's suppose to be wrong with what she said?
There's nothing wrong with someone mentioning *anything* in an interview. :shrug: Phone number, people's names, asking for assistance - none of that is ever any sort of a problem (unless it helps your opponents, I guess).
You're kidding, right?
She's not raising money for pet adoptions or make a wish. She's talking about going on a network that markets itself as 'news' and expecting their help in raising campaign funds. She's saying what many of us already know -- Fox is not a legitimate news network. They are the opposite of fair and balanced.
Will the tea party folks hear this?
Your post seems to indicate all hope is lost... We're totally screwed.
Guest: Sharron, how are you doing as far as the fundraising?

Thank you for giving us that informative insight into the pathology of a Fox News Viewer.
1) You prefer news media that confirms your world view.
2) You appreciate the repeated talking points throughout the broadcast day, as hearing them over and over helps you recall them.
3) You believe journalistic ethics are old fashioned and outdated.
4) Editorial is more informative than news--and saves on the time it takes to form an opinion.
5) You like news media that promotes candidates with softball interviews and plugging websites.
6) You applaud Angle's honesty, saying what we already knew about the integrity of Fox News.
So, a more accurate slogan for Fox would be: "Confirming a conservative world view"
