Good thing the teahadists are "cleaning up" corruption in American politics:

The Fox Business Network focused on what it called "The War on Business" all last week, but on Tuesday its coverage was decidedly more focused — with a series of reports about a California ballot initiative that its parent company, the News Corporation, had spent $1.3 million to defeat.

Call it the War on Proposition 24.

The News Corporation is one of the many major media companies that have spent more than $1 million each seeking to defeat the proposition, which supporters say would repeal $1.7 billion in corporate tax breaks to help close the state's budget gap.

FBN attacked proposition 24 with five straight hours of live coverage last Tuesday without once mentioning that its parent company had contributed $1.3 million to the campaign against the measure. FBN even interviewed the spokesman of the group that News Corp.'s donation bankrolled without disclosing the conflict of interest. FBN pleaded ignorance, claiming it was unaware that News Corp. had donated to the anti-proposition 24 campaign. But if you believe that, then you also believe Glenn Beck is a tribune of the truth.
