FOX in Weasel Den or Weasels in FOX Den: No Difference at All

FOX and Their Moneyed Backers Who Blast the Clintons
(apparently hiding in plain sight)

Attention Clinton haters, listen up: Drop pants, bend over, grab ankles, and smile ... you are on hypocrite TV run by FOX. Yeah, that FOX who has many folks on the air 24/7 blasting HILLARY about BILL’s big money machine (the Clinton Global Initiative the "Foundation") propping her up for 2016… Two major oops follow:

Oops #1: Many Republican Party-affiliated individuals have attended and supported Clinton Foundation-affiliated events, including the annual Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) meetings.

That “A” list as it were includes those well-known GOPers: 
  1. Former first lady Laura Bush,
  2. Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch,
  3. Mitt Romney, 
  4. Sen. John McCain, 
  5. NJ Gov. Chris Christie,
  6. Carly Fiorina, 
  7. GOP billionaire, T. Boone Pickens,
  8. Colin Powell, 
  9. Condoleezza Rice, and
  10. Dubya Bush daughter Barbara Bush.
Romney praised Bill Clinton and his CGI in the middle of his 2012 presidential campaign, saying in part: “One of the best things that can happen to any cause, to any people, is to have Bill Clinton as its advocate.  I have been impressed by the extraordinary power you have derived by harnessing together different people of different backgrounds, and different institutions of different persuasions. You have fashioned partnerships across traditional boundaries -- public and private, for-profit and nonprofit, charitable and commercial.”  

McCain spoke to CGI in September 2008 during his own presidential run, and also praised its efforts, saying: “You know something about great change at the Clinton Global Initiative, because you are striving every day to bring it about. I thank each one of you for the good work you have done to relieve suffering across the earth, and to spread hope. I thank you for the even greater works that you seek to accomplish in the years to come, under the leadership of the man from Hope.”

Laura Bush appeared at CGI in 2006 and said that she was “delighted to be a part of this year's Clinton Global Initiative. Thank you for inviting me, and thank you for the terrific development work you're doing through your foundation.”  

Newsmax CEO and Editor Christopher Ruddy just recently praised the foundation for helping “… improve global health and wellness, increase economic opportunities for women in less-developed nations, reduce childhood obesity, and spur economic growth in countries that desperately need the help.” (Note: Ruddy dogged the Clintons in the 1990’s) now says: “I  found CGI to be nonpartisan. I have never felt the whiff of politics from either its staff or any of its activities.”

Oops #2: Numerous others who do not fit the model for critics of the Clinton’s have in fact donated big money as well. Here are some key and big time “conservative” donors: 
  • Newsmax Media, Inc. (cited above) made donations of between $100,001 to $250,000, and between $1,000,001 to $5,000,000.
  • Trump donated between $100,001 to $250,000.
  • The late Richard Mellon-Scaife “one of America's leading funders of conservative causes” donated between $250,001 to $500,000.
  • News Corporation Foundation, the foundation for News Corp., (and FOX’s parent) run by Uncle Ruppy himself donated between $500,001 to $1,000,000.
  • James R. Murdoch, the co-chief operating officer of FOX News parent company, 21st Century Fox and son of Uncle Ruppy, donated between $1,000,001 to $5,000,000.
So, are those GOPer-Conservatives somehow all helping HILL with her 2016 campaign goal of raising billions to beat their team?  How about a hearty wow…!!!
