Wikipedia Scrubbing Fox News Controversy of Factual Information

Daily Kos: UPDATED: Fox News Scrubbing Wikipedia Entry on $1 Mil. Donation

What is remarkable about this story, is that Fox News is managing to scrub something from Wikipedia that is so factually accurate. What reason do they propose for not including the fact that News Corporation donated $1 million to the Republican Governor's association? It is not as if anyone is contesting the accuracy of the statement. Nor could anyone contest the notion that the donation is a source of controversy. Wikipedia needs to fix this.
On the Fox News main page, someone put this inocuous little statement, heavily referenced, under the controversy section:

In June 2010, News Corporation donated $1 million to the Republican Governors Association


Oh HELLS no! Two FNC scrubbers were on the case and according to the history page had that puppy removed.
