Viacom Board as Liberal as Dan

Many lefty critics often say that because the media are owned by corporations, that makes them conservative. While there are some negative effects that corporate media ownership produces, being conservative is not one of them. Particularly at Viacom where eight of the 13 chairmen of the board donate primarily to Democratic candidates. Two of them have held cabinet positions in Democratic administrations.

Given that kind of background, it's no surprise that the Viacom board has not discussed Memogate at all, according to The New York Sun.

Don't expect Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone, 80, to support drastic action, either. Over the past few years, Redstone has given $50,000 to Democrats and just $2,000 to Republicans, both of whom serve on committees related to Viacom's business.
