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.

Why I Don't Trust Conventional Media News
Publisher Murdoch gets nipped by his own paper | Lifestyle | Reuters
Rupert Murdoch is one of the bigger reasons that I do pay any attention to the Big Four media corporation's news outlets. In fact, I consider them to be the Big Three since MSNBC/NBC is so intimately in bed with FOX news. Whatever the situation, when people like Murdoch have control over what news we see and hear and what we don't, it is difficult to believe what comes across the wire. So much of it is twisted, watered down, or simply omitted that there is little reason to put faith in its validity. Murdoch, in particular, is one of the most twisted minds in corporate America. He wants us to still believe the lies that raised support from the American public for the war in Iraq, despite evidence from the current administration's own members that the intelligence was not trustworthy and in many cases, completely false. He wants us to forget about Darfur and the killing and torture of innocent Christian men, women and children there who refuse to convert to Islam. He wants us to believe everything negative about the Democratic candidates for the Presidency of the United States and especially about that dangerous, rogue Republican candidate, Ron Paul who dares to hold true to the original Republican values o small government, non-interventionist foreign policy, upholding the Bill of Rights and being true to the Constitution of the United State of America. Yes, Murdoch is a problem, along with the rest of the corporate media news outlets. If he ends up in control of the Wall Street Journal, I do not have an idea of who we will be able to trust in reference to financial news and information. Let's pray it doesn't happen.

How Does FOX Get Away With This?
FOX Network's O'Reilly obtains private information about abortions performed in Kansas after the state attorney general gained access to the information through a subpoena. If the attorney general or any of his staff turned over those records to O'Reilly, that is a greivous violation of the law.
Attorney General Phill Kline, a staunch abortion opponent, said that he subpoenaed the records in order to see if there was any evidence of rape or illegal abortions which had gone unreported. My guess is that this is more of a "witch hunt" aimed at Dr. George Tiller, the attending physician of the clinic from which the records were obtained. Whatever the situation, if those records were shared with anyone outside the court, Kline should be held responsible, and O'Reilly should be given his walking papers for accepting information which is so obviously private - information that never should never have been placed in his hands.
