Hillary Clinton Takes $20,000 From Fox News Parent Company News Corp.

Gasp!

WASHINGTON – John Edwards criticized Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday for taking more than $20,000 in donations from News Corp. officials, arguing that the company’s Fox News Channel has a right-wing bias and Democrats should avoid the company.
Edwards led the Democratic candidates’ boycott of Fox’s plans to host a Democratic presidential debate. Now he is objecting to News Corp.’s purchase of Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co. and highlighting the relationships that Clinton and other rivals have with the company’s executives.
“The time has come for Democrats to stop pretending to be friends with the very people who demonize the Democratic Party,” Edwards said in a statement.

Gee, I wonder why Edwards would be jumping on this faux-issue. Couldn’t have anything to do with Hillary opening up a big lead in the polling and the Yearly Nutroots Convention starts…today.

    This will get little if any play because it is billary/hillary.

    John Edwards is sounding more and more like a desperate “also-ran” lately.

    The only thing that saves him from being labeled a racist or a sexist is the fact that he’s a Democrat, and of course those particularly labels are to be used exclusively on Republicans, not fellow Democrats. Poor white boy… nobody seems to be very much interested anymore.
