Corporations lean more to their own particular interests than to "right" or "left", that having been said, Newscorp does indeed tilt to the right, but not the rest. Disney distributed its PAC contributions to both parties but gave more to Barak Obama than any other candidate. Its lobbying isn't mostly left or right, but is on issues of IP, and other issues it considers related to its own profits. Its domestic partner benefits might not exactly be a leftist idea, but it shows something other than a strongly conservative bent. Maybe Disney was conservative when Walt was running the show but not anymore. CBS of Dan Rather/"Memogate" conservative? Please. We've already discussed GE. Really what company other than Newscorp on that list is supposed to be so conservative?
