So, if a republican columnist who donated money to the republican party, or paid "talk show host" says something about democrats, it isn't true? If I have to disbelieve this man, I'll apply the same standards to all.

I simply gave you full disclosure. Believe what you want, of whomever.

I would be surprised if you found a columnist who donated *money* to Republicans, so if you want to make me laugh out loud, post such a name.

On the other hand, Scheer isn't the only newspaper columnist whom I can point out who has donated large sums to Democrats.

Slate.com, the Village Voice, and the Seattle Times all have or have had top staff with histories of giving money soley to Democrats, as does Scheer at the LA Times (employed there due to his wife's role there), for instance.

It's a decidely one-way playing field from what I've been able to gather...though you *might* find some Republican donors if you searched broadcast (radio, TV) journalists thoroughly enough.

Please do. You'll never believe another lefty reporter or columnist again while you'll still have plenty on our side.
