DGA ‘matches’ $1M News Corp. contribution to RGA

Well, that cheers me up. What a crap week it’s been.

(CNN) – The Democratic Governors Association announced Tuesday that they have raised over $1 million to “match” the $1 million that Fox News’ parent company, News Corporation, has given to the Republican Governors Association in the 2010 election cycle.

The announcement demonstrates the success Democrats have had painting Fox News as a mouthpiece for the Republican Party.

“When Fox News’ parent company, News America, pumped a million bucks into this year’s 37 governors’ races, I bet they thought they’d be helping the Republican Governors Association snuff out Democratic state leaders and congressional majorities for years to come,” the DGA’s executive director, Nathan Daschle, wrote in an e-mail to supporters Monday. “Boy, did that backfire.”
