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.

The Mainstream Media Loves Obama

Barack Obama is sure to get lots of coverage from the anchors of the three network evening newscasts for his upcoming overseas trip, because they will all be joining the party.

Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric are making the overseas journey with the promise of exclusive interviews.

In other words, the ABC, CBS, and NBC evening newscasts are gearing up to be all Obama all the time.

Plus, another 200 or so other journalists have requested to join the Obama road trip.

John McCain has taken three foreign trips in the past four months, all unaccompanied by a single network anchor and with little fanfare, according to Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post.

Additionally, the Tyndall Report, which monitors news coverage, reveals that for this month the nightly newscasts on the three networks spent a combined 114 minutes covering Obama, compared to just 48 minutes to McCain.

Must be nice to have the mainstream media in the tank for you.

In this age of enlightenment, it’s a shame that we’re seeing such a “separate but equal” attitude from the media.
