The Columbus Dispatch, on Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate John Kasich:
It was one of 16 appearances that Kasich has made on Fox television or radio programs since he formally entered the governor’s race on June 1, 2009, according to a count by the Strickland campaign.
Going back to March 2008, when Kasich said he was seriously considering entering the race, there were 42 other appearances, including several times that Kasich was guest host for The O’Reilly Factor.
Critics say Kasich, an on-air personality for Fox from 2002 to 2008, has received overt help from his former employer, both in extraordinary exposure to largely conservative audiences and in potential donations to his campaign.
“They are, in my judgment, primarily a propaganda network that is committed to getting Republicans elected,” [Democratic Gov. Ted] Strickland said.
So, why does anyone still think Fox is a ‘fair and balanced’ organization?
