Let's start with Olbermann's employer, a corporation called General Electric. By what measure does GE "lean to the right"? Not by campaign contributions, I'll tell you that. For instance, 69% of GE's political action committee cash to House candidates so far this year have gone to Democrats, with Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C. (95% liberal rating from Americans for Democratic Action), the top recipient. On the Senate side, Democrats have pocketed 55% of GEPAC cash, with Chris Dodd the top recipient.
LOL. GE is one of the few liberal leaning corps. in this country. Therefore its not surprising that NBC and MSNBC lean liberal. However, that's not the case with CBS, ABC, Fox News etc. And I find very few papers to be liberal as well....maybe the NY and LA Times, the SF papers and the Boston Globe. Its why we have so many strong liberal blogs in this country...they are picking up the slack.
When GW Bush was president, I had to go to English speaking papers outside this country to get the truth. And that's because the MSM media in this country leans right. Fox News, the WA Times and the Boston Examiner are far right.
One more winger myth that's slowly getting busted. |
