Here's Proof The Media Really Is Liberal
Many Americans believe liberals dominate our media, and it turns out they may be right.
Crowdpac, a non-partisan political data analysis company, used over thirty years of federal campaign finance records to estimate where donors to political campaigns stand on the political spectrum. Donors were scored as being more liberal or more conservative based on the ideology of the candidates they gave to.
In a data set Crowdpac provided to Business Insider, they broke these estimates down to indicate whether individual professions are dominated by liberals or conservatives.
Among many other interesting results, the data show that donors who work for newspapers or other print media skew extremely liberal.
This chart shows the number of donors in the media who were assigned to each ideological score.
The blue bars to the left show very liberal donors, and the much smaller red bars to the right represent the handful of conservative donors:
