Media Matters takes a look at the intersection of Fox News and the Koch brothers' political empire:

At least 15 Fox News hosts and contributors have recently campaigned with two political organizations created and heavily funded by billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. Many of those same Fox News personalities have also defended the Kochs from attacks and praised their political efforts on-air. [...] According to a Media Matters review, the following Fox News personalities have participated in AFP and AFPF events since 2012: Guy Benson, Tucker Carlson, Monica Crowley, Jonah Goldberg, Greg Gutfeld, Mary Katharine Ham, Mike Huckabee, Laura Ingraham, Andrew Napolitano, Sarah Palin, Charles Payne, Dana Perino, John Stossel, Cal Thomas, and Juan Williams.

Thanks to limited disclosure requirements, it's unclear whether and how much money these individuals received for their boosterism, but given the 9 figure sums that the Kochs are dumping into the political process, it seems like a pretty easy bet that they distributed some of that to their friends at Fox.

I guess it's not entirely surprising that so many employees from a conservative news channel would also be cogs in a conservative political machine like the one that the Koch brothers run, but it is yet another reminder of just how intimately involved the Kochs are in everything on the right—and just how small their "talent" pool is that they have to draw on Fox, and that Fox has to draw on them.
