Dear Friend,
Last week we learned that News Corp., Fox News' corporate parent, gave $1 million to the Republican Governors' Association -- a donation that a News Corp spokesman chalked up to the RGA's "pro-business agenda."
While other networks covered this unusual contribution extensively, Fox News only devoted 37 seconds of airtime to the story. Fox viewers have been left in the dark as to the network's direct involvement in races this fall.
Media Matters for America has decided to make sure Fox viewers are aware of News Corp.'s contributions. We are considering purchasing a national ad to air next week during The O'Reilly Factor to share this vital information with for viewers. 
It will cost us approximately $35,000 to purchase the time. Will you help us?



In case you were still under the impression that Fox was a news network rather than a political operation, this donation should eliminate all doubt. The fact is, Fox is first and foremost a campaign arm of the Republican Party, and this seven-figure investment in Republican campaigns is just a part of the round-the-clock support they have given all year.
Click here to watch the ad -- and donate to help us put it on the air during Fox's The O'Reilly Factor.
Thanks again for your support.
Eric Burns
President,
Media Matters for America
