Rupert Murdoch’s son and News Corporation’s charitable foundation donated money to the Clinton Foundation, recently the subject of conservative attacks after Hillary Clinton declared her run for President.
According to the foundation’s donor page online, the News Corporation Foundation, Murdoch’s philanthropy project, has contributed somewhere between $500,001 to $1 million.
News Corp, founded and chaired by Rupert Murdoch, was formerly the parent company of Fox News Channel until 2013 when the corporation split into News Corp and 21st Century Fox (which took over the news channel.)
Murdoch’s son, James Murdoch, currently co-chief operating officer of 21st Century Fox, has given somewhere between the $1 million and $5 million mark, according to the Clinton Foundation website.
The donations were flagged on Sunday by Media Matters, a progressive group founded and run by Clinton ally David Brock.
Also on the right, the CEO of the conservative media company Newsmax has donated $1 million and praised Hillary Clinton.
Conservative celebrity and mogul Donald Trump has also reportedly donated at least $100,000.
…and the heads of the baggers go “pop! pop! pop!”
So, ten to twenty times what former Clinton White House aide George Stephanopoulos gave to the Clinton Foundation unquestionably in a concerted effort to pervert the future course of the good ship America.
I feel confident Roger Ailes will direct Kelly, O’Reilly, Hannity, the Fox & F & F-, and all other ace reporters & pundits on FNC to cover this like rats at a dump.
I think that is known as paying for possible access or hedging your bets. Or it could just be that some in the family are throwing in the towel when it comes to the idiotic field they see developing in the GOP presidential primaries?
It won’t even be mentioned. Drudge and Ailes each will find some new fake controversy to, maybe that Benghazi thing no one’s heard much about, and methodically bury this story in an unmarked grave.
The TeaParty grass roots is conned yet again by the Establishment GOP. Believe what we tell you. But don’t do what we do behind the scenes.
We’ll pay to influence anyone who gains power and work with them to get what we millionaires/billionaires want regardless if it hurts the American middle class and weakens the country. After all, we Murdocks are all Australian British immigrants who paid for our fast track American citizenship…just like the Cuban Canadian Cruz family.
We are citizens of the Top 1% World and have no allegiance to any country. We are here to exploit the corrupt financial situation that the GOP created in the US and support it till the conservative yokels wake up to the con.
