Because the “some” that blindly ignore it like the fact the percentage of journalists that are left-leaning ideologues are vastly disproportionate to the rest of the country. They also love the fact a majority of these journalists (not to be confused with pundits) who are supposed to be objective in their reporting are in fact not.

Your research is excellent, but far short of the true dispersion among the news media. Perhaps history in a hundred years will expose what truly went on during this “period” in our country, because there is no way the citizens will ever be able to sort out, the depth and degree of corruption, unethical practices and deception being played out every day. Anyone with the intentions of “nudging” this country into some form of perverted or democratic abomination with socialism at it’s core, will have NO resistance from those people we SHOULD be able to trust implicitly with our freedoms and rights.

It would ONLY matter, If they support Republicans.
Democrats could, and do, take money from criminals and Communists, but that’s OK.

Perhaps you’re not looking at the bigger picture. Have you ever wondered *why* the so-called “liberal media” is supposedly comprised largely of Democrat supporters?
One might guess that it’s because of a massive conspiracy – that media outlets only hire applicants who know the secret Liberal handshake.
Or one might guess that media by its nature draws in creative, liberal-minded people who think that simply supporting the status quo (the core of Conservatism) isn’t the role of a free media. Rather its true role is to constantly step back and take a critical look at establishment, questioning everything.

I have not ignored this information. Corporate America (which controls the media) currently favours the Obama administration because the capitalist system is in crisis, and they want an FDR style intervention to save capitalism. However I do not see any contributions from communist or socialist papers (those sources regard Obama as yet another American Imperialist). Your posting proves that the Democratic party is receiving money from capitalist sources, not socialist sources.
