Investor’s Business Daily documents the extreme liberal bias in the media by examining political donations by media folks.

By analyzing federal records, Investor’s Business Daily reveals a great disparity in the amount of money journalists contributed so far this election cycle to each party.

The contributions add up to $315,533 to Democrats and $22,656 to Republicans — most of that to Ron Paul, who was supported by many liberals as a stalking horse to John McCain, a la Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos with Hillary and Obama.

What is truly remarkable about the list is that, discounting contributions to Paul and Rudy Giuliani, who was a favorite son for many folks in the media, the totals look like this: $315,533 to Democrats, $3,150 to Republicans (four individuals who donated to McCain).

Let me repeat: $315,533 to Democrats, $3,150 to Republicans — a ratio of 100-to-1. No bias there.

And the scribes at the New York Times have recently been forbidden from making political donations.

So the list would have an even greater imbalance if they Times crew were free to flaunt their political proclivities.
