Murdoch, $1 million and fair and balanced

Hee. Over at the Washington Examiner, the truth is revealed about the money Murdoch donated to Republicans and the money that pours in from media organizations to....the DNC. The truth is that there is a revolving door between the media and democrat organizations (that dissent hunter Linda Douglass being the best example), not to mention the millions of dollars donated by all manner of media personalities. We won't even mention, either, the bias in today's news delivery services, which explains the growth of the alternate media.

But wait a minute, if the political donations of the corporate parent of Fox News are relevant to its political coverage, as suggested by Daschle, doesn't that mean the political donations of people with other media organizations are just as relevant?

With that in mind, I just did a quickie search on the FEC site for all federal contributions between Jan. 1, 2006, and Aug. 1, 2010 by anybody who listed "NBC" as their employer. Haven't had a chance yet to total it all up but, trust me, the list reads like a Democratic campaign roll call. Ditto with searches for "CBS" and"ABC," though the latter evinced a smaller number of donors.
