No Bias in Media, ha ha, tee hee

Many journalists and broadcast employees belong to the Communications Workers of America union. No surprise that the total percentage of its campaign contributions to Republicans has never been higher than 2%.

Media Shenanigans ping - A Fair & Balanced Request From Joseph Perkins

On, Off, or grab it for a Media Shenanigans/Schadenfreude/PNMCH ping:

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Good article... Why not request (not require, but urge "journalists" to list their prior activities, background, experience:

Chris Matthews: Peace Corps; worked on the campaigns of George McGovern, Mo Udahl, Fritz Mondale; worked on the staff of Tip O'Neill.

Tim Russert: Worked on the staffs of Pat Moynihan (and others?)... I'm sure he worked on a few Democrat campaigns, but I don't have specifics.

George Stepphie Stephannopolus: well, you get the picture. You could go on and on.

So there's the influential Sunday morning circuit... But of course, there are many in the media who also worked for Republicans or served on Republican campaigns: Rush Limbaugh (actually, I don't think Rush ever had a job in Washington); Sean Hannity (no, on second thought, I don't think Sean spent any time on any GOP campaigns or working in DC); Laura Ingraham (maybe? did she have a stint clerking for a Supreme?); Joe Scarborough(yeah, he was in Congress, but does he really have a show?); John Kasick (congressman from Ohio, so he gets an hour on Sunday night on Fox).

Not really fair and balanced, right?
