Bueno, queda bien explícito el bías liberal de los comunicadores y ejecutivos de las tres cadenas tradicionales de EE.UU. Seguro sólo era FOX la que tenía fuerte tinte político, verdad?Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880.
By contrast, ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863. The average Republican contribution was $744.
Disclosure of the heavily Democratic contributions by influential employees of the three major broadcast networks follows on the heels of controversy last weekwhen it was learned that media baron Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. contributed $1 million to the Republican Governors Association.

Tanto que se burlaba Stewart. La propietaria de Viacom que a su vez es propietaria de Comedy Central donó más de $330.000 a organizaciones políticas, principalmente demócratas, en lo que va del año. El monto asciende a $1 millón desde el 2006.Jon Stewart weighed in on the $1 million News Corp. donation on Wednesday’s episode of The Daily Show, mocking Fox News’ desire to “follow the money” when its parent company is donating directly to political parties.
However, National Amusements, which owns Viacom -- and therefore, Comedy Central, on which Stewart’s show appears – has so far donated more than $330,000 to political organizations during the 2010 election cycle for aa total of almost $900,000 since the 2006 election cycle. Before it was purchased by National Amusements in 2005, Viacom gave just less than $2 million to political committees from 1999 to 2004. In both cases, the money typically favored Democrats.
While some of the corporations in question are mainly media owners and operators, some giants such as GE have many other business endeavors. The Center’s data includes all subsidiaries of these companies in order to show the parent corporations’ full political influence.
