Why Does Terry McAuliffe Think Fox is "Fair & Balanced"?
It is deeply detrimental to the longterm interests of democracy when Democrats praise and support FOX News. This would be true regardless of who that Democrat is, but it's particularly heinous when Terry McAuliffe, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is singing their praises.
"Let me congratulate FOX," McAuliffe said this past week, "because you were the first ones to call [the Pennsylvania primary] for Hillary Clinton." McAuliffe, who is also chairing Clinton's Presidential committee, actually echoed the FOX mantra by calling them "fair and balanced." What is so dangerous about McAuliffe's praise is that FOX is now using his words as a TV ad to prove just how fair and balanced they are.
Jonathan put together this video as a reminder of how exceedingly unfair and imbalanced FOX actually is. These are just few gems to let McAuliffe and others know that FOX is the foe, has always been the foe, and will continue to be the foe of accurate reporting.
Please help us in this quest by sharing what you think have been the worst FOX moments. We will send the list to McAuliffe as a firm reminder that he must not applaud FOX.
Yours,
Robert Greenwald,

Re: Why Does Terry McAuliffe Think Fox is "Fair & Balanced"?
Terry McAuliffe is a long-time friend and business associate of the Clintons.
The only reason he's praising Fox is because Fox called a win for Hillary before final counts were in.
And Hillary herself has said that Fox has treated her more fairly than the other major media outlets.
Why?
Because these people are corporatists. They allign themselves with the corporate power that is Fox News.
Fox isn't Republican or Democrat. It's corporate. It just happens that most Republicans have given their souls more easily to the corporations.
And justly, Hillary, Bill, and Terry shouldn't be confused with actual Democrats, patriots, or good Americans concerned more with We, The People over their own own selfish interests.
Plus Hillary is win-win for Fox. If she wins, she's a corporatist who will support their multinational financial backers. Plus they'll get to slam her on social issues and drive up their ratings.
But if Hillary loses, then Fox's corporate interests are threatened by Obama who may (or may not) actually put the good of our country and its people above the corporations.
It's a no brainer.
