Do you already have this? Just got it off Lexis Nexis:

The Hartford Courant Company
Hartford Courant (Connecticut)
March 19, 2001 Monday

Take This Snow Job And Shove It
Tony Snow, an anchor for "Fox News Sunday," has lost his column on GOPUSA.com, an e-zine for Republicans, after his bosses at the network objected.
Snow, a one-time speechwriter for President Bush the First, rejected Fox News' demand that he stop writing for the website, but Fox had better luck with Creators Syndicate, which agreed to stop providing the column to GOPUSA.
Snow's conservatism is no secret. He makes it plain in a nationally syndicated newspaper column, which appears occasionally in The Courant.
But the glaring partisanship of GOPUSA was too much for officials at Fox News, which has been sensitive to charges of favoring the Republicans.
According to a report in Newsday, this wasn't the first time Snow's Republican leanings have embarrassed the network. He spoke to a group of college students from the stage at the Republican National Convention last
year.
Bobby Eberle, co-founder of GOPUSA, complained about Fox's action in an article on the website Thursday.
"Tony Snow is a conservative. All you have to do is read his work and know his background to know where he stands philosophically. So my question is this: Who did Fox think was going to run Tony Snow's columns? A bunch of Libs???" Eberle wrote.
He concluded by asking readers to help him choose a replacement columnist.

Think about it: GOPUSA was too conservative for FOXFUCKINGNEWS!

But not the White House. Unbelievable.

3. More Like GOPUSA is involved in Gannongate AND SO IS

Fox News! They are trying to wash themselves of this growing scandal...but I believe they're going to be pulled into the mix. Gannongate is going all the way to the top and it's going to get ugly.

4. Uhhh... you DID notice this article is almost 4 years old, right?

This one has nothing to do with Gannongate.

However I find it interesting that association with GOPUSA would be troubling to FAUX maintaining the illusion of "Fair & Balanced", yet the association with PNAC (Kristol, Krauthammer, and others appearing regularly on their shows) would not be.

Of course not many people knew about PNAC in March 2001.......
