Media Lean Democratic With Their Pocketbook

  Probably no surprise here, but an analysis by Investor's Business Daily shows big media seriously favors the Democratic party.

  In the latest review, the ration was roughly 100-to-1 in favor of Democrats over Republicans in terms of campaign contributions.

  Quote: The contributions add up to $315,533 to Democrats and $22,656 to Republicans — most of that to Ron Paul, who was supported by many liberals as a stalking horse to John McCain, a la Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos with Hillary and Obama.

What is truly remarkable about the list is that, discounting contributions to Paul and Rudy Giuliani, who was a favorite son for many folks in the media, the totals look like this: $315,533 to Democrats, $3,150 to Republicans (four individuals who donated to McCain).
