With all the Fox News Bashing (Never have seen it myself) by the Libs.
Does it bother you that Fox News Owner Rupert Murdoch raises funds for Hilary's Campain?
Surely she would never accept any tainted money right?
So since the owner of Fox is a Lib Fund Raiser, does that mean you can no longer support the Candidates he gives money to?

I think the hissy fits being thrown by individuals, primarily misinformed, regarding Fox News is almost laughable. So what if they're more conservative than liberal? Turn the channel over to MSNBC and watch a more liberal view of the world. Enough already. It's really nothing to get all bent out of shape about. Even I watch Keith Olbermann occasionally because he looks like Milhouse Van Houten and the resemblance is hilarious. Lighten up everyone.

Neither Rupert Murdoch nor Hillary Clinton are liberals. Clinton received more campaign money from the banking/credit card industry than any other candidate. And she's #2 when it comes to contributions from the health care industry. Hillary is not the choice of informed liberals. She is, however, a shrewd politician.

Rich people give donations to any candidate they feel have a chance of entering an influential political office. Bill Gates gives equal money to Democrats and Republicans. That's not news.
If Murdoch wants to help Senator Clinton or Obama with their campaigns, and he isn't breaking any federal campaign law in the process, let him.
If, on the other hand, his companies get the same sort of free rides that Halliburton has, then the money should be refunded with interest.

First, there's no reason to think that Senator Clinton wouldn't accept money that somebody somewhere considered tainted.
But the real answer to your question is that most companies give to candidates of "both" parties, rather than putting all of their eggs into one partisan basket. This way, even if their favored candidate's party loses, they might still be able to influence which candidate the other party nominated for the race. Just in case....

It does bother me, as a conservative, that my Fox News is now supporting H. Clinton. Soon Fox News will be waving the rainbow flag with H. Clinton.

Not at all, does it bother you that the money Fox News makes off being so pro con, is going to Hilary?

Hillary is Republican light, that's why.
That's like Zell Miller, former southern conservative Democrat, supporting Dubya for president in 2004.

What a great question! I actually asked my Mom, who is a huge liberal, and she said it does bother her. When I asked why, she laughed and said that she guesses that FOX is not controlled by the conservatives after all.

The head of Faux News is running up the white flag and you ask if it bothers me?
Not at all. Not at all.
