Newsweek?s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ?Sort of God? | NewsBusters
It is just plain common sense that when people donate money to a candidate they obviously want the candidate to win! Well DUH!!
So it is plain common sense you want others to share your opinion about the candidate YOU donated to.
It is also plain common sense that the person with the loudest bullhorn usually gets the attention.
SO... using common sense would it not be logical to assume if:
"Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed
more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the
Center for Responsive Politics.
The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880.
By contrast, only 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863.
The average Republican contribution was $744.
Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters | The Daily Caller
Now If 1,160 (85%) of 1,353 employees of ABC,CBS & NBC gave $1.02 million (88%) to Democrats do you think these donors are stupid?
If you don't think they are stupid, then do you think they wanted the Democrats to win?
If they want them to win would they put news favorable or unfavorable to democrats i.e. Obama? Duh!!!
FACTS:
In 1964, 94% of media professionals voted for Democrat Lyndon Johnson over Republican Barry Goldwater.
In 1968, 86% voted for Democrat Hubert Humphrey over Republican Richard Nixon.
In 1972, 81% voted for Democrat George McGovern over the incumbent Nixon.
In 1976, 81% voted for Democrat Jimmy Carter over Republican Gerald Ford.
In 1980, twice as many cast their ballots for Carter rather than for Republican Ronald Reagan.
In 1984, 58% supported Democrat Walter Mondale, whom Reagan defeated in the biggest landslide in presidential election history.
In 1988, White House correspondents from various major newspapers, television networks, magazines, and news services supported Democrat Michael Dukakis over Republican George H.W. Bush by a ratio of 12-to-1.
In 1992, those same correspondents supported Democrat Bill Clinton over the incumbent Bush by a ratio of 9 to 2.
Among Washington bureau chiefs and congressional correspondents, the disparity was 89% vs. 7%, in Clintons favor.
In a 2004 poll of campaign journalists, those based outside of Washington, DC supported Democrat John Kerry over Republican George W. Bush by a ratio of 3-to-1. Those based inside the Beltway favored Kerry by a 12-to-1 ratio.
In a 2008 survey of 144 journalists nationwide, journalists were 8 times likelier to make campaign contributions to Democrats than to Republicans.
A 2008 Investors Business Daily study put the campaign donation ratio at 11.5-to-1, in favor of Democrats. In terms of total dollars given, the ratio was 15-to-1.

So in light of the above common sense that those with the loudest bullhorns..i.e. MSM.. get the attention.
And if they have the attention they certainly don't want to piss away their contributions!
The easiest way to protect their donations is as follows:
Only 29 percent of the narrative on Governor Romney was positive while 71 percent was negative.
Study Finds Widespread Bias in Mainstream Media Coverage of Election | Women of Grace
This means 70% of the stories were negative which far out balances the 29% positive!
A Media Research Center analysis of all 21 ABC, CBS and NBC evening news stories about Romneys trip found that virtually all of them (18, or 86%) emphasized diplomatic blunders, gaffes or missteps.
"47% of Americans " story..
Over three days, the broadcast network morning and evening shows churned out 42 stories on the tape, nearly 90 minutes of coverage. The tone was hyperbolic; ABCs "Good Morning America" called it a bombshell rocking the Mitt Romney campaign, while ABC "World News" anchor Diane Sawyer declared it a political earthquake.
Five ways the mainstream media tipped the scales in favor of Obama | Fox News
There are thousands of studies,facts,etc. validating MSM bias and MSM help in Obama's election.. BESIDES the FACTS 85% of these "news" people donated to Dems/Obama!
Remember the NewsWeek editor calling Obama a "god" is hard to see him coming down negatively on his "god"!
