Fox denies making ultimatum to Huckabee
Source: The Hill

Fox News denied that it has given former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) a deadline of the end of May to decide whether to run for president.

A senior Fox official disputed a report Thursday by Real Clear Politics that Huckabee has been given a deadline of the end of May to decide whether to enter the race for the Republican presidential nomination, which would prompt him to forfeit his lucrative contract with the network.

"There is no truth whatsoever to this report," said Bill Shine, the executive vice president of programming for Fox.

At issue is the relationship between Fox and a number of Republicans who are thinking of running for office. Several candidates or possible candidates had signed as contributors with Fox, which means they're paid for their appearances on the network.

ROFL! After having a large portion of the GOP presidential slate on its payroll, Fox is about to throw the bulk of them under the bus to clear the way for Roger Ailes hand picked candidate!

1. Does Fox = the Republican Party?
Is there any difference at all between Fox and the Republican Party?

Does Rupert Murdoch own the Republican Party? Or do the Koch Brothers?

Keep watching and you'll find out.

2. Fox Is The Propaganda Arm Of Corporate America...
...and the GOP is the political arm of Corporate America.

The Leader - Corporate America
The Mouth - Rupert Murdoch's media empire including Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.
The Finger, Eye and Nose - The GOP

3. Much as it sucks to say though
the dems also dont mind stepping up to the trough to feed from corporations when it suits them, what we need is to retake the SCOTUS from the unfab 5 so the stupid rulings such as saying its ok for corporations to buy elections under the laughable claim they have freespeech rights can be overturned.

5. Ah, The Democrats Are No Different From Republicans Meme, Its A RW Narrative
Look at Republicans shamelessly using Citizens United following the Citizens United decision to raise unlimited amounts to defeat Democrats. But, when Democrats try to compete, Republicans attack the Democrats for doing so, suggesting that Democrats should essentially unilaterally disarm.

Finally, unions in Ohio and Wisconsin have discovered first hand that there is a vast difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Does this suggest that every Democrat agrees with everything most DUers believe in? No. But, as a party, they are far, far closer to most us, then the Republicans.

6. Only some of them and only when it suits them
Edited on Fri May-06-11 12:01 AM by cstanleytech
but the party as a whole is better in alot more areas than the republicans, you can of course shrug it off and ignore the facts by claiming its a "RW Narrative" if you still want but it doesnt change the truth or make it not exist.
