lawrocket 3 #2 August 19, 2010 Quote GE, parent company of MSNBC, donated equal amounts to GOP and Dems. Really? Quote , GE donated $688,900 to Democrats through its PAC this election cycle compared to $410,100 to Republicans. If donating 59.5 percent to the GOP that was donated to the Dems is equal to you, then we have a problem QuoteThe PAC of Time Warner, the parent company of CNN has given $70,500 to Democratic candidates in the 2010 election cycle compared with $41,500 to Republicans. Time Warner also donated $5,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. That's 58.9%. Equal? Source http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08/17/fox-news-takes-heat-for-news-corporations-gop-donation/ So, John, it's not nearly as spectacular as News Corp. Interestingly, it was given to the Republican Governor's Association. John: you'd do better just posting the numbers and not making statements that are objectively disproveable.

Apples to apples is parent companies to parent companies. Fact is, News Corp. is the single largest corporate donor to the Republican Governors Association, yet they hold their media up as "Fair and Balanced". What a bunch of liars....

Those were the smart voters because he agrees with the results. They are only dumb voters when he disagrees with the results.
