It's like a chicken and egg thing - it became clear when the money broke so much in favor of one candidate. Happens all the time. Follow the money, and you have your winner. Like I said, Corporate America is almost like Vegas when it comes to these things - in the end, they always win - they really don't care what the party designation is, as long as it's the winner.
Great analogy. :nod:

they do have a generic preference - however what they mostly are is careful. mostly they just spend money on incumbents who are safe and support their agenda. they tend to stay out of toss-up races, lest they bet wrong.

TTBF needs to install one of those loud beepers when he backs up.
These signatures have a 500 character limit?

What if I have more personalities than that?

And that's a whole lot different than you insinuating Republicans are the party of business in another thread. :thumb:

And how did I do that, by calling the Republican Bush I a tax raiser and put him on equal footing as Clinton? :rofl:

The article quotes "some tv executives" are pushing a left wing agenda and that is correct and what I agreed with.
Captain Obvious jumps from "some" to "all" due to a lack of reading comprehension, then makes the point that it is only some of the networks push the left wing agenda, and that networks are not a unified group and some of the 1000 networks he claims exist, push the right wing agenda. He is correct, if you throw in all of them, although I doubt there are 1000.
General dickhead, the point of the article, and of the entire thread, is to back the mythical idea of 'the liberal media", as touted by conservative jerk offs like yourself.
If I made a broad generalization, it was simply for argument's sake, and because that is the gist of point of those who claim a liberal media bias.
at ease.

Is that what's pushing (D) Mark Dayton and (D) St Paul Mayor Coleman, the Minneapolis Tribune and other local media to not support the Vikings stadium location that isn't close to corporate downtown Minneapolis. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Dems and Reps are both in the corporation lobby business. :thumb:
