While this is hardly news, it is pretty disenchanting (but what about fox news isnt?). I find it particularly troubling that an entire media organization, one that considers itself the most 'fair and balanced' in America, is publicly donating to the Republican Governors Association. Journalistic standards...who needs 'em? Credibility...who needs it? The Guardian article also mentions a hilarious hypothetical (i.e. if the New York Times gave the Democrats a million dollars how would Fox News react).

While a lot of people have sort of been laughing/mocking/acting unsurprised about this particular bit of news (because really who didn't know? oh yeah the entire viewership of fox news, DUH!), it's a sad state of affairs when an entire media outfit is completely hi-jacked by a party line. Even worse is the simple fact that our voices won't even be heard anymore (see Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission).
