Dem Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA):

The sheer stupidity of comparing NPR’s taxpayer funding to Fox News makes my head hurt.

MCGOVERN: Over the past several years, it has become clear that the Fox News channel is wildly biased. They continue to employ a talk show host who called President Obama a racist. They continue to employ several prospective Republican Presidential candidates as “analysts,” giving them hours and hours of free air time. And their parent company has donated millions to GOP-linked groups. My amendment would prohibit federal funds — taxpayer dollars — from being used for advertising on the partisan, political platform of Fox News.
