The main players in the majority of information given via television, radio, and print media back Obama 10 to 1 in campaign contributions. So when does it become a conflict of American interest that the media gets to determine public opinion based on personal beliefs of their respective owner or CEO?  How do you stop an information source that bleeds blue? How can you stop the liberal views of people who have been inundated with socialist ideology from their earliest school memories through college? And these same people are hired by like-minded individuals to spread the bullshit on the airwaves and high-speed cable lines throughout the country.

It may be time that any company considered a MAJOR news source like say NBC/ABC/CBS/Fox can’t donate to political campaigns. If the owner/CEO decides they want to donate some of his or her own money…..knock yourselves out.

I think I would like a law that eliminates media companies from contributing to various campaigns. Even as jaded as I am about any new laws passed just for the sake of passing new legislation to justify their vaunted position, like politicians do, eliminating the media from the process would do us some good.

If you have a car give away or a radio contest for whatthefuckever, you are not eligible as an employee of said company. Do the same with the media. You can’t play. Seems like a legit resolution to me.

All the major media companies, driven largely by their Hollywood film and television businesses, have made larger contributions to President Obama than to his rival, former Gov. Mitt Romney, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit, nonpartisan Washington-based research group that publishes the Open Secrets Web site. The center’s numbers represent donations by a company’s PAC and any employees who listed that company as their employer.

Even companies whose news outlets are often perceived as having a conservative bias have given significantly more money to Mr. Obama. Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, for example, has contributed $58,825 to Mr. Obama’s campaign, compared with $2,750 to Mr. Romney. The conglomerate, which owns Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post and the 20th Century Fox studios, gave roughly the same amount to Mr. Romney’s Republican primary competitors Rick Perry and Ron Paul as it did to Mr. Romney.

Other media companies have contributed more significantly to Mr. Obama, including Time Warner, owner of CNN and the magazine publishing house Time Inc. The company, which is based in New York and also owns Warner Brothers and HBO, has contributed $191,834 to Mr. Obama in the 2012 election cycle, compared with $10,750 to Mr. Romney. The Walt Disney Company, owner of ABC and ESPN, donated $125,856 to Mr. Obama and $9,950 to Mr. Romney.
