Media Bias at CBS and NBC, Raw Data [Pajamaheeden Strike Again]

Open Secrets ^ | 10/10/2004 | Southack

[Southack]

These two searches on OpenSecrets.org reveal that all but two or three of the top donations from the employees of CBS and NBC have gone to Democratic Party candidates.

 

This is clearly NOT fair and balanced news.  There is definitive partisan bias involved here.  Compare the first two searches to the final two searches below for Fox News:

These two searches on OpenSecrets.org reveal that all but two or three of the top donations from the employees of CBS and NBC have gone to Democratic Party candidates.

 

This is clearly NOT fair and balanced news.  There is definitive partisan bias involved here.  Compare the first two searches to the final two searches below for Fox News:

[HarryCaul]

I foresee a "groundswell" of protest against opensecrets.org in the near future.

[Grampa Dave]

Great work and a great find.

Documentation of the bias of the left wingers at ABCNNBC BS. When left wingers spend their own money for a candidate instead of ours, you know how much they are in bed with those candidates.

[wrbones]

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1240255/posts

That website and more connections are listed here. The DNC, Soros, Tides, Heinz-Kerry, The WWWP, The US Communist Party, and more....all connected....

[Grampa Dave]

FYI and ping lists.

Southack has used open secrets to show the bias of the left wing mediot maggots in their political donation.

[Dog]

It must pay very well to be a weatherman for CBS...:-)

[EagleUSA]

Great data...but no suprise. Not at all. Nobody here has their eyes shut or their ears closed --- unlike a big part of the ignorant public.

[MeekOneGOP]

[HannaUSA]

It doesn't appear to me that FOX is that much different. The Management of FOX is sending their $$ to Kerry and the Democrats. If I'm wrong, please tell me how;/

Also, I have a question. How can you give a campaign contribution to a company? From the table in the post above:

IRELAND, JAMES W
NEW YORK,NY 10112
NBC/PRESIDENT; NBC TELEVISION STATI
12/19/2003
$2,000
General Electric

[CyberAnt]

Well .. FOX doesn't look too good either!

I'd be interested to know how many of the "laid-off" CNN people are now employed by FOX.

[Condor51]

Uh, just so you know, "CBS MECHANICAL INC" is not the Columbia Broadcasting System aka CBS TV

It must pay very well to be a weatherman for CBS...:-)

I guess his weather forcast for November 2nd will be "clear skies and high chance of snowballs in hell."

Here's an interesting one--this person gave $500 to Kerry and her position is "sales assistant"? Fishy...

From my experience in television news, I always found that the broadcast engineers, production assistants and photogs are generally more conservative than the on-air talent and producers. Network execs are primarily libs and just about all news directors are liberal Dims even if the station is owned by a more conservative leaning group.

I know in my city only one news director out of four is conservative. The political contributions you have sited are not at all surprising.

The AOL-Time Warner thing goes on and on and on... I encourage interested parties to do the search themselves. There are a couple of Republicans on the list, but 90% of the media money goes to the most radical Democrats.
