Fox News hosts and contributors have campaigned for Republican candidates and organizations from coast to coast this election cycle.

According to a Media Matters review, at least 32 Fox News figures have backed Republican efforts in more than 300 instances during the 2011-2012 election cycle. The Fox News personalities have campaigned for Republicans nationally and in more than 40 states.

These Fox News campaigners have officially endorsed candidates; advised campaigns; played key roles in fundraisers and events; recorded advertisements and robocalls; and helped direct expenditures to support Republicans and oppose Democrats through Republican-aligned groups.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is the largest beneficiary of the Fox News campaigning. Five Fox News figures are advising Romney's campaign, and nine have been featured in a Romney event.

The Fox campaigning involves hundreds of millions of dollars, with participants' activities ranging from collectively being featured in more than 100 fundraisers to advising organizations like American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS.

Media Matters previously examined Fox News personalities who have rallied for Republican causes in prior years, Fox's active role in the GOP presidential primary, the network's support for the Tea Party movement, and Fox's four-year campaign to make Barack Obama a one-term president.

Media Matters produced this report based on various Internet searches and an examination of Nexis, Facebook, Twitter, and campaign finance databases such as OpenSecrets.org and FEC.gov. This report is intended to be a snapshot of Fox's campaign activity and not an absolute count. Since many Republican events are not publicly promoted, this report undoubtedly undercounted the extent of Fox's campaigning.

In This Report:

The Fox Campaign For Mitt Romney

Twelve Fox News personalities have taken part in Romney's campaign by being featured in a campaign event (such as a fundraiser or speech), advising his campaign, or both. They are: Fred Barnes, John Bolton, Liz Cheney, Alfonse D'Amato, Mike Huckabee, William Kristol, Thomas McInerney, Dennis Miller, Chuck Nash, Walid Phares, Karl Rove, and Pete Snyder.

Five Fox News personalities are advising Romney's campaign:

John Bolton is a foreign policy adviser. [MittRomney.com, 3/27/12; The New York Times, 6/27/12]

Liz Cheney, according to Fox News, has “informally advised the Romney campaign.” The New York Times additionally reported that she “has begun to join a weekly conference call” with the Romney campaign. [Fox News, Special Report with Bret Baier, 9/25/12; New York Times, 10/8/12]

Thomas McInerney is a member of Romney's Military Advisory Council. [MittRomney.com, 10/17/12]

Chuck Nash is a member of Veterans and Military Families for Romney Coalition's national advisory board. [MittRomney.com, 7/24/12]

Walid Phares is a special adviser on Romney's Foreign Policy and National Security Advisory Team and co-chair of his Middle East & North Africa working group. [MittRomney.com, 10/6/11]

Nine Fox News personalities have played key roles in Romney events: Fred Barnes, John Bolton, Liz Cheney, Al D'Amato, Mike Huckabee, William Kristol, Dennis Miller, Karl Rove, and Pete Snyder. (Bolton and Cheney have both advised the campaign and been featured in public Romney events.)

Additionally, D'Amato is a registered lobbyist who has bundled more than $230,000 for the campaign. Snyder is a regular surrogate for the Romney campaign in Virginia, where he heads the coordinated campaign tasked with winning the battleground state for Romney and other Republicans. And Rove helps direct the super PAC American Crossroads and its affiliated 501(c)(4) organization Crossroads GPS, groups that are spending tens of millions in support of Romney and against Obama.

Elaine Chao, who is not counted in this study, was a Fox News contributor while also serving as the national chair of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for Romney. Her contributor status reportedly ended in late August. She is still connected with Fox News, as she was recently nominated and approved to the board of directors for News Corporation, Fox's parent company.

Romney won the GOP nomination over former Fox News contributors Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. Santorum and Gingrich were Fox News contributors for part of this election cycle, but had their contracts suspended and then eventually terminated as they ramped up their presidential campaigns. Three other Fox News personalities, John Bolton, Mike Huckabee, and Sarah Palin, also considered presidential runs but did not have their contracts suspended.

Fox News Takes Its GOP Campaign On-Air

The Fox News personalities' off-air campaigning has unsurprisingly intersected with their on-air analysis and commentary. (This report did not code Fox News' countless on-air attacks against President Obama and Democrats as a part of the campaign instances.) All personalities listed in this report regularly appear on Fox to discuss current events. Numerous Fox personalities have also directly discussed races in which they're involved off-air. For example:

Karl Rove regularly discusses races in which his American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS groups have a large stake, such as the presidential race and various House and Senate races. [Media Matters, 4/27/12; Media Matters, 6/26/12; Media Matters, 8/31/12]

[Media Matters, 4/25/12]

Fox News contributors/Romney advisers such as John Bolton and Walid Phares regularly appear on the network to discuss foreign affairs and the Obama administration. In many instances, Fox News has failed to disclose Fox News contributors' ties to Romney's campaign. [Media Matters, 5/4/12]

Fox News contributors such as John Bolton, Dennis Miller, Dick Morris, and Sarah Palin have appeared on Fox to make or discuss their endorsements of GOP candidates.

Fox Campaigning Yields Big Money

The Fox News figures have helped raise and spend hundreds of millions of dollars this cycle in support of Republicans. Fox News personalities have been featured in more than 100 fundraisers for Republicans and Republican-aligned groups. The Fox personalities have also advised organizations with big cash reserves like American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS. Here are ten examples of the money involved in Fox's campaign efforts:

Karl Rove co-founded and helps lead American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS. The Associated Press reported that both groups “plan to spend $300 million to influence elections this year. The groups have spent $135 million on ads so far to back Romney.” [Associated Press, 10/16/12; emphasis added]

The groups have spent on ads so far to back Romney.” [Associated Press, 10/16/12; emphasis added] Rove's American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS have been spending lavishly on House and Senate races across the country. In Virginia, the groups have spent more than $10 million combined to support Republican George Allen's U.S. Senate race. In Ohio, Crossroads GPS has spent more than $6 million so far to defeat Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. [OpenSecrets.org, accessed 10/31/12; OpenSecrets.org, accessed 10/31/12]

[OpenSecrets.org, accessed 10/31/12; OpenSecrets.org, accessed 10/31/12] Rove's American Crossroads has reportedly “booked nearly $867,000 worth of airtime on Tampa's four network affiliates -- ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX -- according to records kept by the Federal Communications Commission.” Crossroads has also paid " $190,000 to reserve time on Tampa's ABC affiliate during the final week of the election."

According to Barnes, the donors “had to have contributed $50,000 on their own or bundled $100,000 in donations from themselves and other Romney supporters. By the event's kickoff, an army of nearly 800 donors, friends and family had assembled.” [Washington Post, 6/20/12; Wall Street Journal, 6/27/12; emphasis added]

Eating lobsters in Florida with Cal Thomas cost $95 . Playing “a round of Putt-Putt” with Liz Cheney and Wyoming GOP officials cost $250. For a Karl Rove event in Missouri, getting a private reception, photo, and personalized, signed book cost $2,500.

AFP, which was founded with the help of conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch, is a 501(c)(4) group that plans to spend more than $100 million in 2012. According to FEC data compiled by the Sunlight Foundation, the group has already spent $30 million in independent expenditures to oppose President Obama's campaign. [Washington Post, 10/1/12; USA Today, 8/30/12; SunlightFoundation.com, accessed 10/31/12]

Republicans Promote Fox News Branding

Republicans regularly tout Fox News when promoting events featuring Fox personalities. The following are just a few examples pulled from this study:

In some cases, Fox News itself has been used as a reward for Republican donors. Fox News contributor Dick Morris auctioned off a Fox News studio tour during a fundraiser for the Republican Party of Lake County (FL) as part of its March 9 Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner. Morris was later reprimanded for the auction, and the tour was reportedly canceled after the network learned of it. But Morris did treat a group of donors to Michigan's Oakland County Republican Party to a tour of Fox News and tapings of Lou Dobbs Tonight and Hannity. Participants in that December 2011 visit were being rewarded for donations they made to their local Republican party at a fundraising dinner Morris headlined earlier that year.
