Fox Hypocrisy: Campaign Fundraisers Edition

Despite the fact that Fox News allowed Celebrity Apprentice star and birther conspiracy theorist Donald Trump to hype a fundraiser with Mitt Romney on its own airwaves, the network is now busy attacking President Obama for doing a fundraiser with Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Wintour.

When the Obama campaign announced earlier this month that Wintour and Parker were doing a fundraiser, Fox and others in the right-wing media responded with sexism. On the evening the fundraiser took place, numerous Fox hosts continued to attack Obama for participating in the event.

Bill O'Reilly, while managing to avoid any mention of Trump hyping and attending a Romney fundraiser, said: “I don't see Romney with anybody... he's not hanging with the rich, right-wing swells.” O'Reilly later asked, “What famous person attended a Romney event? Nobody.”

As a reminder to O'Reilly, here is what Trump said on the June 4 edition of Fox & Friends:

TRUMP: The big dinner is going to be the Trump dinner. You know that, dine with Donald, you know that. Well, Mitt Romney and the whole group came up with a plan. They were looking for a big celebrity, and then somebody said, 'we have the biggest celebrity. It's Trump.'

Trump added that he would host the event “in like a month” and predicted it was “going to be like in a month.”

Here's Trump hyping his Romney fundraiser on Fox:

Here are Fox's Cavuto, O'Reilly, Hannity, and the co-hosts of The Five studiously avoiding any mention of Trump while attacking Obama.
