bobknight33says...Yep Republicans are upfront with their money while the left are so corrupt that they have to hide, launder and shield how they give and receive money.
Thanks Netrunner for showing us the transparency between the parties. Some more please.
Obama = the 1 term president - HA HA
Aren't you guys ashamed of your party yet?

So... let us 'pretend' your argument is sound and that the billions republicans 'have' hidden dot truly exist... and while we are at pretending, let's put on our pretend pants too! You know the ones where the whole is near the anus? You got yours on yet? Good...
Now, republicans do not hide the fact that they take money from slutty Fox (Think Lingerie Football, yay!) And let us assume they take more than 1 million from other degrading and/or shady sources... And let's say that the democrats hide their assets...
Same crime, but more transparency (Which remember, transparency in no way equates to honesty, btw...) Kind of like anal raping a cow right? One republican comes out transparently, so conservatives are kool! (See, they are soo cool I spelled them with a k!) But democrats hide the fact that they have anal-raping sex with cows, which make them horrible. Btw, cows = Americans.
dystopianfuturetodaysays...Bob likes his corruption blatant and obvious and he's not afraid to say it in a room full of politically informed sifters.
EMPIREsays...Republicans aren't transparent. They are just too plain stupid to hide it.
kronosposeidonsays...♫ You never cared for me
But did you ever say a prayer for me? ♫
When you pray for us sinners (non-Christofascists), is it an imprecatory prayer? If so, do you know any good witch doctors who can drive out the demonic curse?
(I'm saying all this with God-given certainty that the GOP is the party of Jesus.)

Yogisays...Is this because of the supreme court ruling earlier this year?
Psychologicsays...Republicans didn't do anything wrong here. Why should they refuse donations?
Newscorp is also free to donate money to whoever they want, but it is a bit funny that they own a major political "news" channel which tends to go easy on the same political party their parent company is donating money to, all while operating under the banner of being "Fair and Balanced".
There's no major revelation here, but it does make Fox's claims of neutrality ever so slightly more humorous.

What are you talking about? The parent companies of NBC, CBS and ABC all do the same thing. The only difference is they're happily lying to your face about it.
Xaielaosays...>> ^Yogi:

It is exactly because of the supreme court ruling. Corporations = individual citizens in the USA today, so while in years past I'm sure they hid such things, today it is perfectly legal.
Frankly I think the FCC should be suing the pants off Fox News because clearly, it is no longer news. They shouldn't be donating en mass to anyone. John Stewart is 100% correct, the republican party should be donating millions and millions to Fox, not the other way around.

Bzzt. Completely wrong. First, this is all a matter of public record, both on the part of Fox, and the parent companies of the other three major networks.
Second, there's a big difference on the partisan split (and total amount) of money being spent. According to CNN, we're looking at numbers like this:
But wait, you're saying, doesn't this go to show there's a liberal bias in all other forms of media? No, not really. It's pretty normal for companies to tilt their spending to the party in power, especially when they hold the White House, and large majorities in both chambers of Congress.
You can identify partisan organizations by the way they always lean toward one party, regardless of their level of control over congress, or merely by the naked one-sided nature of the tilt (like 91%!). In the case of News Corp, you have both.
Oh, and a final point about the quantity of contributions. I'd note that while GE's total donation amount is comparable to News Corp's, GE isn't just a media organization, it's also a major manufacturer, and a defense contractor. If you compare them to just the pure media companies, you see that News Corp donated nearly ten times as much just to the Republican party as the next largest media company's total spending on campaign contributions.
aimpointsays...Although the percentile number does show a bit of bias from different companies, the number count of the donation clearly makes News Corp stand out the most

zombieatersays...I believe this would also be *parody of Glenn Beck.
siftbotsays...Invocations (parody) cannot be called by zombieater because zombieater is not privileged - sorry.
zombieatersays...Oh siftbot, how I hate you so.
