Will Media Notice That Liberals on FEC Targeted Fox News?

[See NewsBusters for more.] Will journalists come to the defense of another media outlet? Maybe not if that organization is Fox News. The Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard on Thursday reported that Democrats on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) targeted Fox News for punishment in 2015. Bedard explained, “Finally making good on long-harbored anger at conservative media, Democrats on the Federal Election Commission voted in secret to punish Fox News' sponsorship of a Republican presidential debate, using an obscure law to charge the network with helping those on stage.” He added, “It is the first time in history that members of the FEC voted to punish a media outlet's debate sponsorship, and it follows several years of Democratic threats against conservative media and websites like the Drudge Report.” The effort failed on a 3-3 vote after Republican members blocked the attack.
