Fox News' PAC Is Giving HUGE Amounts Of Money To Democrats

The political action committee of Fox News' parent company gave tens of thousands of dollars to Democrats last month alone, raising eyebrows about what the network is actually up to. One of the recipients was Tom Suozzi, the Democrat who just won George Santos' old seat. The PAC still gave more to Republicans, but the fact that such an anti-Democrat group would give large sums of money to multiple Democrats is certainly a head scratcher. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

For some reason, Fox News is giving tens of thousands of dollars to Democrats. According to a review of the federal campaign records by Raw Story, Fox News in the month of January alone gave $25,000 to Democrats and Democratic causes. Now, technically it wasn't Fox News giving the monies, but it was the Fox Corporation's Political Action Committee that gave this money to Democrats. And Fox Corporation, of course, is the parent company of Fox News. And let's keep in mind the two are separate. We're not talking about the entertainment part of Fox, which is now owned by Disney. That ain't them. This is just the entity, just the entity that owns Fox News and Fox Business Network. And they gave $25,000 to Democrats.

That, that doesn't make any sense. Let me read you this. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee received 15,000 from Fox Pac and the new Democrat Coalition Action Fund received 5,000. The campaign for Tom Swazi, who last week won back his, uh, house seat vacated by embattled, former representative George Santos, received 2,500 from the pack. So did the campaign of John Tester, uh, who's running for reelection in one of the most contested Senate races in the nation. A $1,000 check for the campaign of Representative Mary Gay Scanlon of Pennsylvania was voided, so they didn't do that one, but they gave, Fox News essentially gave $25,000 to Democrats. Now, they also gave $25,000 to the Republicans question is why. And unfortunately we don't have an answer to that question, but I guess some theories, right? Fox News, uh, Fox News, excuse me, uh, thrives on hatred. If they don't have somebody to hate, they don't have programming for that day.

So the number one people that Fox News hates are Democrats. But if Fox News had their way, if the hosts on the network had their way, all the Democrats would be voted outta office. If all the Democrats are voted outta office, Fox News doesn't have anything to about every day. 'cause it's only Republicans in charge doing Republican things. Fox News just sits there twiddling their thumbs, cheerleading everything, and they lose their audience. They gotta have somebody to hate. So how do you ensure that you always have somebody to hate you? Give 'em money. Make sure they can win the races because if they lose those races, that's one less person you can hate on. That's one less segment, that's one less five minute clip that you get to post online, right? So maybe that's why, again, that's just a theory and I don't think that that's the correct theory. I don't think that's why Fox News is doing this, but it could be because other than that, we don't have any explanation for any of this. Why would Fox's political action committee be giving money to Democrats? It's simply doesn't add up.
