Who gave to what party. MSNBC investigation of the media.

This is interesting. There's some surprises like people with Fox giving to the Dems. What is important is if they act as professionals when on the job by keeping their politics out of their reporting.

The following 144 journalists made campaign contributions from 2004 through the first quarter of 2007, according to Federal Election Commission records studied by MSNBC.com.

Key:

(D) contributed to Democrats or liberal causes.

(R) to Republicans and conservative causes.

1. Lotta low level flunkies gave money to the Dems

What i want to know is who did the owners of the radio stations, TV stations and newspapers donate to.

2. Those donations to Ds certainly didn't do much, did they?

MSNBC is trying to make people believe the old lie about "liberal media" by showing that the smartest and best people in the media support Democrats.

Yet, despite all those donations, not one major media company endorsed Gore OR Kerry.

No, the fact remains that corporate media's influence over Joe and Mary Sixpack is as solid as it ever was. If the media was NOT right-wing, then we would not have such a hard time trying to figure out if there's ANY truth to the stories they publish and broadcast.

3. The owners launder their donations through the corporation and

family members.
