How much is Fox News actually involved in Republican politics? The head of Fox News tried to recruit David Petraeus to run for president. There's a tape of the conversation. In it, Petraeus says that Rupert has offered to bankroll his run.
I know the media still leans slightly left, but the part of the media on the right doesn't just lean, it tipped over years ago.
Can you imagine a news organization trying to objectively cover a candidate that they recruited and bankrolled? The only shocking thing about this is that I'm not shocked by it anymore.
