In 2002, Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto, the managing editor for business at the network, contributed $1,000 to a fund-raising dinner for President Bush.

So reveals Howard Kurtz, media critic for the Washington Post.

Informed of Cavuto’s contribution, John Moody, Fox News vice president, lamented, “I wish he hadn’t.” Moody has circulated a new network policy discouraging political contributions. “I hope our people will follow the advice I’ve given to them voluntarily. The potential perception is that they favor one candidate over another.”
