The Disclose Act passed the House, but ultimately stalled in the Senate after it won no GOP support.
Hmmm, no GOP support. Why do you think that is?
News Corp., the parent company of Fox News, contributed $1 million this summer to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the business lobby that has been running an aggressive campaign in support of the Republican effort to retake Congress
News Corp. gave $1 million to pro-GOP group - Ben Smith - POLITICO.com
Fox news, owned by Australians and Arabians.
And Republicans are complaining about a measly million?
On the other hand:
Specifically, the chamber has said it plans to spend
$75 million in connection with the 2010 election, and has so far has directed substantial amounts
to Republican Senate candidates. As of Sept. 15th, the group had spent $6,747,946 airing more than 8,000 ads on behalf of GOP Senate candidates, according to a study from the Wesleyan Media Project.
That figure made the chamber the biggest spender on congressional races of any interest group, and the second biggest-spending national group after the RGA.
Who knows where the money is coming from? Overseas?
