Surprised?

“Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.

The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880.
By contrast, only 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863. The average Republican contribution was $744.

Disclosure of the heavily Democratic contributions by influential employees of the three major broadcast networks follows on the heels of controversy last week when it was learned that media baron Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. contributed $1 million to the Republican Governors Association.

The News Corp. donation prompted Nathan Daschle, executive director of the Democratic Governors Association and son of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, to demand in a letter to Fox News chairman Roger Ailes that the cable news outlet include a disclaimer in its coverage of gubernatorial campaigns. Fox News is owned by News Corp., which also owns The Wall Street Journal.

The data on contributions by broadcast network employees was compiled by CRP at the request of The Examiner and included all 2008 contributions by individuals who identified their employer as one of the three networks or subsidiaries. The data does not include contributions by employees of the three networks who did not identify their employer.

Of course we knew the media was behind the push to get Obama elected. As I’ve written before most of it was the reason of “being there” to cover the first Black president. Journalist are trained to be “on the forefront of history”.

The other fact that most journalist are liberal as well. But the over the top the media displayed during the campaign, ignoring their duty by failing to report indepth about Ayers, Wright, Resko, is more telling. But of course we all remember the collective orgasm the Washington Post had when Obama visited them after the election.

Which is why surveys keep showing that more and more the public distrust the msm. They see the bias and now we know that it without question that it exist. People put their money where their heart is.
