Faux claimed BP donated $750M to OBAMA's campaign. It was $70K from BP employees

[UTUSN]

& Chris WALLACE was crowing to SLimus that it would be "poetic justice" for Faux to take Helen THOMAS's seat in the front row!1 HAH!1

By the bye, who would be the Fauxer in the seat, the Carl CAMERON creep?! Not baby-faced BAIER, since he's a grown up ANCHOR now. How did this BAIER kid get on the inside and fast track? It was always so cute for this SERIOUS, intense kid lapping up Darth Rums every word---SO cute!1 Then in a blink, Gruffy Bear Brit, the consigliere of the B.F.E.E. was gone POUF!1 and Brit became Brett!1

Fox News strains to tie Obama administration to BP

June 10, 2010 11:34 am ET — 4 Comments
Fox News pushed the tenuous suggestion that White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has unethical "ties" to BP because he once lived in the home of Stan Greenberg, a D.C. research strategist who has done work for the oil company. In fact, there is no evidence that Emanuel's relationship with Greenberg -- which dates back several decades -- has anything to do with BP or benefited BP in any way. Moreover, Brian Kilmeade falsely claimed BP donated $750 million to Barack Obama's presidential campaign, which would have amounted to the entirety of Obama's campaign haul. ....



Kilmeade falsely claims BP gave $750 million to Obama campaign

Kilmeade: There are "problems" with BP giving "$750 million to a campaign like they did to the Obama campaign" and "Emanuel staying there with a consulting firm for BP." During the segment, co-host Brian Kilmeade falsely claimed BP gave $750 million to Obama's presidential campaign: ....



Contributions came almost entirely from BP employees -- not BP itself -- and totaled about $70,000, not $750 million

CRP: Money donated to Obama in 2008 election was entirely from BP employees, not the corporation; employees donated about $70,000 -- not $750 million. Contrary to Kilmeade's claim, $750 million is reportedly the amount Obama raised overall during the 2008 campaign, not what he received from BP. Moreover, the BP-linked donations came exclusively from BP employees -- not the corporation itself. In an email exchange with Media Matters for America, a spokesman for the Center for Responsive Politics confirmed that "the $71,051 that Obama received during the 2008 election cycle was entirely from BP employees. ... Obama did not accept contributions from political action committees, so none of this money is from BP's PAC." ....
