First, some quick background: Raw Story recently had a bit of a scoop about Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, and the unusual level of support that he was getting from a media outlet: Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., the operators of the Fox News Channel...and the New York Post. It was a riff on the fact that one of FNC's big stars, Sean Hannity, had actually hosted a Santorum fundraiser:

Fox News host and commentator Sean Hannity may have been recently singled out, but he isn't the only News Corporation employee padding the re-election coffers of Rick Santorum (R-PA), RAW STORY has learned.

A simple search of Federal Election Commission records reveals that many News Corp. employees, including chairman and chief executive officer Rupert Murdoch, have made direct, personal donations to the Senator's re-election campaign, as well as other mostly Republican candidates.

Records indicate that in November, 2005, Murdoch personally donated $2,100 to Santorum's campaign. This wasn't he first monetary gift Murdoch made to Santorum; the right wing media mogul shelled out $1,000 to elect the Senator in 2000
