Should FOX NEWS recuse themselves from covering the 2016 election ?

In light of the fact Newscorp (FOX NEWS) contributed to the Clinton Foundation should they recuse themselves from covering the 2016 election?

I'd prefer the 24/7 news media to recuse themselves if they are only going to promote a horse race. PBS Newshour will have some good quality reporting, ABC asking where do "illegals' tax dollars go?", NBC obsessing over Dr. Oz flip over to PBS to see coverage of Baltimore, the Earthquakes in Haiti and terrific Wyden & former Counter-terrorism director, very skilled takedown of the smug smirk by discussing classified info in a way without revealing anything, except maybe Pakistan or probably its ISI had useful intelligence of the last humanitarian aid worker kidnapping.

Like donations to the Clinton charities, many other examples like Olbermann, seen as a problem of perception...but not when you yourself do it?
