Study: 96 Percent of Media’s Campaign Donations Go to Hillary Clinton
Breitbart.com ^ | 18 Oct 2016 | Katie McHugh

A nonpartisan group finds 19 out of every 20 campaign dollars donated by the media industry are being given to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

The analysis was conducted by the Center for Public Integrity, and it found that 96 percent of campaign donations by roughly 480 media donors went to Clinton. Roughly 430 media people donated $382,000 to Clinton, while roughly 40 media people donated $14,000 to Donald Trump’s campaign.

The center named many reporters, editors, and anchors who donated to Clinton and Trump, but did not provide a complete list of the 400-some members of the press it investigated. The center’s study is titled “Buying of the President 2016: Journalists shower Hillary Clinton with campaign cash.”

They’re all betting on the inside-the-beltway status quo and hoping to buy access to their chosen candidate after she gets into the White House.

No doubt they figure if Trump wins, they’re scr*wed, anyway. After the way they’ve treated him, he wouldn’t give them the time of day.

It is not a shocker in view of the terrible leftist bias and distortions in media coverage

but it IS a shocker that ANY political viewpoint could SO COMPLETELY DOMINATE any significant sector of American life (or our economy). I mean, how is this even possible?

Does CPUSA control all of the hiring and firing in the entire American mass media business? Do they apply a Political Litmus Test to get, or keep, your job?

if the mass media were 55% leftist, or even 65% leftist, I’d say OKAY its just how it worked out, luck of the draw, random statistical distribution. But 96% one way and only 4% any other way!??????????????????? That’s not statistically likely AT ALL. There’s definitely something going on here.....

Insufficient. There is no excuse not to have this at 100%. There needs to be a purge of the people in the media who are backwards thinkers.

By the amount of $$$ it’s 96%

By the #’s its 91.5%.

Still, it’s an uphill battle...

I’m surprised it’s only 96%. I wonder where the other 4% comes from.

Wow, that’s an incredible image. Prayers up for Mr. Trump and his family.

I had FOX on this morning - yeah, I know I’ve sworn off it but with the election so close it’s imperative to know the enemies’ playbook. They were talking about this and the talking heads were, “ack, ack, ack” stuttering all over themselves trying to deny it. Busted!
