In August, we learned that News Corporation – the parent company of Fox News – donated $1 million to the Republican Governors Association to target Democratic Governors across the country for defeat.
This morning, I was shocked to learn that the gift was personal. Rupert Murdoch’s money is specifically aimed at turning Ohio red – and defeating Governor Ted Strickland.
Last night, Mr. Murdoch – cornered by a reporter – admitted that the gift was for our opponent, former Fox News host and Congressman John Kasich.
"It doesn’t reflect on Fox News," he said. "It had nothing to do with Fox News. The RGA [gift] was actually [a result of] my friendship with John Kasich."
