How much cash did CBC employees give Liberals and NDP? ABC News: 80 times more to Obama than McCain

How much political campaign cash do you suppose the CBC reporters and anchors and other state employees (who are largely paid by taxpayers) give to their Liberal Party?  And the more socialist NDP?  And compared to contributions to the Conservative Party? 

Since the CBC is totally reliant on socialism, it wouldn’t make any more sense for their reporters and anchors and staff to support pro-capitalist folks (like some in the Conservative Party are) than it would be for capitalist Canadian companies to support socialist-reliant and socialism-promoting media like CBC, by advertising on the CBC. 

Oh hang on, nevermind…

But anyway here’s another interesting bit of info which reinforces what we already know and have seen in different reports and surveys over and over again:

ABC employees donated heavily to Obama

By Jennifer Harper | Friday, June 19, 2009

As indignation turned to outrage Thursday among critics of an ABC News prime-time special on President Obama’s health care policy, The Washington Times has learned that ABC employees gave 80 times as much money to Mr. Obama’s 2008 campaign for president than to his rival’s.

According to an analysis of campaign donations by the Center for Responsive Politics, conducted at The Times’ request, ABC employees in several divisions donated $124,421 to the Obama campaign, compared with $1,550 to the presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain.

The 60-minute ABC program, to air live from the White House on Wednesday, is sparking hardball politics in other ways. Grass-roots boycotts, Republican outcry and a study citing media bias are all part of the mix.

A study released Thursday by the Business & Media Institute (BMI) found that since Inauguration Day, ABC has aired news stories with positive reviews of Mr. Obama’s health care policy 55 times, compared with 18 times when the network highlighted negative reviews.

Citing Census Bureau figures, the BMI analyses also accused ABC of “exaggerating the breadth of the uninsured problem,” saying the network’s claim that up to 50 million Americans are uninsured is false. …

Eighty times as much to Obama?  I bet that’s a trifling ratio compared to the ratio of contributions from CBC reporters and anchors to leftist parties over the Conservatives here.
