Investors Business Daily has an interesting piece out analyzing political contributions from employees of the media and the result is no surprise: they heavily favor the Democrats.
The headline says the media employees gave to Democrats over Republicans by a ratio of 100-1, $315,533 to Democrats and $3,150 to Republicans. "No bias there," the article says.
That's a little inflated.
The analysis gets to that figure for the Republicans by excluding donations to Ron Paul, described as a liberal favorite, and Rudy Giuliani, described as a media favorite. I'm not so sure about either claim, but excluding them gets the R figure down to $3,150.
Another, arguably better picture, is the report that newsroom workers - editors, reporters, publuishers, anchors - gave a total of $279,266 to Democrats and $20,709 to Republicans. That's a ratio of 14-1, and still plenty embarrassing.
