Did Fox News Illegally Contribute to Republican Candidate John Kasich?

John Kasich, candidate in the OH Gubernatorial race, is the recipient of an illegal contribution from Fox News, according to reports which are embedded below. Fox News is accused of giving Kasich an in-kind contribution.

How?

By showing his URL on the screen while he participated in discussions on the network, that is how opponents say he received the illegal contribution. He is said to have raised $21,000 from the contribution.

The Democratic Governors Association claims that this was the illegal contribution, and that most other networks have policies against displaying campaign URLs.

Opponents point out that the DGA could be doing this to gain publicity and therefore get their own donations.

What do you think? Did Fox News give an illegal contribution?
