Fox Exec Contributes to Dems

Last May, Greg Sargent linked to a New York Post article which reported that President and Chief Operating Officer of News Corp. threw a fundraiser to benefit Hillary Clinton's campaign and now we're learning that he donated $4600 to her Presidential bid in June and $12,500 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) at the end of March, 2008.

I don't know how he feels about Sen. Clinton at this time because he maxed-out almost a year ago, but obviously, he's either been recently supportive of a Democratic majority in Congress, or he's hedging his bets.

Uh... I meant to include the exec's name to benefit the search engines, but it looks like I failed on that count, so I'm sticking it into the comments; Peter Chernin.

(I thought the ability to edit had been on the horizon. Sorry)

Hey Magister, it's good to have you back! I haven't seen you around lately.

So, is she the only Democratic presidential candidate he's contributed to?
