Over 90% of political contributions from media reporters, analysts, and editors have gone to Democrats and liberal advocacy groups since 2004, an MSNBC investigation found:
Whether you sample your news feed from ABC or CBS (or, yes, even NBC and MSNBC), whether you prefer Fox News Channel or National Public Radio, The Wall Street Journal or The New Yorker, some of the journalists feeding you are also feeding cash to politicians, parties or political action committees.
MSNBC.com identified 144 journalists who made political contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign, according to the public records of the Federal Election Commission. Most of the newsroom checkbooks leaned to the left: 125 journalists gave to Democrats and liberal causes. Only 17 gave to Republicans. Two gave to both parties.

Of course, those who sleep in class rarely learn anything.
Actual knowledge, though, is quite dangerous when it threatens the leftists' world view, which is based upon a fragile and artificial construction. Why, open a few little cracks in the frail facade of their ideological edifice, and the whole thing comes crumbling down. Better to blow a doobie and catch some "z"s, eh?
Eh?
"Bueller? Bueller?"

What has been widely suspected for years by awake readers of the the MSM is finally seeing some light.
Reed Irvine and Brent Bozell must be nodding approvingly.
