*News Corp? Rupert Murdoch's Fox TV outfit? That's funny, they don't look Blueish. But according to the editors of the Hightower Lowdown (www.hightowerlowdown.org), "Rupert Murdoch's Fox conglomerate did favor Dems over Republicans, overall. But two key affiliates, News America and Fox PAC were large contributors to Bush & Co. Fox entertainment companies favored Democrats."
