The AP reports that the "liberal advocacy group" Media Matters "estimates that five potential 2012 GOP presidential candidates who work for Fox News Channel were on the air nearly 66 hours in the first 10 months of the year. ... Media Matters looked at the airtime of Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and John Bolton, all paid contributors who frequently give commentary on the network. The fifth was Mike Huckabee, who as host of his own weekend show logs the most time on Fox. Using current advertising rates, Media Matters calculated that the five had received at least $40 million of free airtime. 'Essentially, there is a Fox News primary going on,' said Ari Rabin-Havt, Media Matters vice president."
