Journalists dole out cash to politicians (quietly)

Is This A Big Deal?

MSNBC published the above article about journalists who donate to particular candidates. I find this to be a NON-issue. The reason being that journalists are under editorial review. It does not matter what political views a journalist holds because the editor ultimately has final say. I am more concerned about where the heads of the news corporations are sending their money. That is more revealing about a news agency's political bent than where their journalists donate. For example, we all know that the Fox News staff donate to Republican candidates and causes. I do not really care. What matters to me is how much Rupert Murdoch is donating to the Republicans and being certain that all of it is properly documented.
