Good sign your news is biased.
This is most significant since last week it was reported that Murdoch donated $1 million to the republican Governors Association.
People in glass houses should not throw stones.

Laglen, it's not OK for rich conservatives to donate to campaigns...but if our "unbiased" media donates to candidates...it is. You've GOT to start learning these rules.
As mater said above, the Left believes that their opinions are fact, and so it's ok for them to lean left and/or donate to "progressive" candidates because they think they're contributing to the good of society (and how dare we disagree with their views of what our society should look like! There should be some kind of investigation into our funding). The problem that so many people, including most of the media, have is that they mistake "opinion" for "fact". I used to have a friend that said, "everyone's opinions are equal." That sounds nice, but when "opinions" aren't based on "fact"...I can't connect the dots to how they're all equal.
Btw, I finally got a job!

More proof that the almighty dollar is alive and well in the USA. Is is used by unscrupulous people in all walks of life to manipulate people and conditions for their own personal, selfish use.

This is why I couldn't help but laugh at the people trying to smear Fox News by pointing out how much he donated to the Republican Governors Fund or whatever it was called. Those people happily blinded themselves to all the donations every other media outlet gives to democrats. Murdoch just forgot to pay the necessary protection fees to the democrats.

Democrats also got most of Wall Street's campaign contributions, not Republicans, as the uninitiated believe.
