It's hard to find a media outlet that has done more damage than FOX to our country and to the principles that make us proud to be Democrats. FOX has been a willing mouthpiece for the Administration, especially on the issue of the war in Iraq. It has carried on a consistent assault on basic progressive ideas, attacking social security, fair treatment of workers, immigrants, gays and lesbian rights...the list goes on.

So, it must be disturbing for New York voters to hear about this reported in today's issue of the Financial Times: "Rupert Murdoch, the conservative media mogul whose New York Post tabloid savaged Hillary Clinton's initial aspirations to become a US senator for New York, has agreed to host a political fundraiser for her re-election campaign."

You need no better example to understand the close relationship between my opponent and the corporate world than the embracing of Rupert Murdoch by the incumbent. At a time when average people are under attack because of abusive corporate power, New Yorkers need a Senator who will confront the greed and out-of-control corporate power that is stealing our pensions, hammering our wages, denying health care to 48 million Americans, and outsourcing jobs in the name of the "free market."
