Now, let's take a look at campaign contributions...

Here, look at the campaign contributions for the CEO of Disney.

Here are the campaign contributions for the CEO of TIME WARNER

Almost ALL democrats, with a few token Republicans like McCain to cover his ass.

NEWSMEAT ▷ Jeff Bewkes's Federal Campaign Contribution Report

HOWARD STRINGER CEO of SONY.

Almost ALL are to democrats.

I have been unable to find the DETAILED campaign contributions for the CEO of Hartmut Ostrowski of Bertelsmann, or for Philippe Dauman, CEO, Viacom.

I would bet though that they would be very similar to those above.

Here is another tidbit........

And, finally, a search by occupation reveals some interesting statistics. Donors who listed their occupation as "journalist" preferred Democrats to Republicans by a margin of almost 12:1, giving $101,543 to Democrats and $8,660 to Republicans this election cycle. Donors listing their occupation as "editor" were much more generous to Republicans than journalists, giving $51,524, though that still paled in comparison to the $185,175 editors gave to Democrats.

And what about the employees at FOX NEWS?

A search on Opensecrets.org, which follows the money on the campaign trail, found that donors who identified themselves as employees of Fox News' parent company, News Corp., gave to Democrats over Republicans by an overwhelming margin.

Of the 27 donations, totaling $41,000, from News Corp. employees, 25 went to Democrats, with the vast majority—19, totaling $32,100—going to Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.). Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) received five, totaling $3,600, while Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) got one, for $2,100.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and actor/former senator Fred Thompson were the only Republican beneficiaries—$2,300 for McCain and $1,000 for Thompson.

News Corp. president/CEO Peter Chernin, a known Democratic supporter, was the sole Dodd contributor and also gave to Clinton and Obama. Even News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, who's never been coy about his rightward tilt, gave $2,300 to Clinton, his only recorded donation. (Their counterparts at Viacom, Chairman Sumner Redstone and president/CEO Philippe Dauman, hedged their bets, splitting their contributions between Clinton and Rudy Giuliani.)

The pattern held in searches for "Fox Broadcasting" and "Fox TV" (Dennis Haysbert, who played the president on 24, is an Obama man).

The only donor listed under "Fox News Channel" gave $500—to Hillary Clinton.

double post

thought of a few examples of how things are fucked up on NBC


1) when they announced mccains running mate they had a banner on that said 'how many houses does this ad to mccains house total"

2) Olbermen spent a large time jacking off all over the D Convention , i think he went through a bottle of KY in the process of like a10 minute review of all the speaches and activities , as he cried i think over the beuty of it all

3) this morning on the Today show, as Gingrich waxed poetic over palin , he stated how he thought she had military experience in running the AK national Gaurd , a stretch but he then went into how of a good shot she was, could be a expert marksman and surely could fire a rifle better than the Democrats....... the anchor says , a NEWS ANCHOR supposed to be non partisan says..... "well we wont compare her to Dick Chenny" once again she , as they all do , defended the fucking DNC

sad state but once again there is a right wing media slant conspiracy right??????
