Can the Media Donate to Political Parties

Today's breaking news on many blogs regard the donating of cash to politicians, from editors, writers, and newscasters. Can the media make donations and still be unbiased in reporting, is the question. We value your comments on this matter.

Investigative reporter Bill Dedman writes: "MSNBC.com identified 144 journalists who made political contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign, according to the public records of the Federal Election Commission. Most of the newsroom checkbooks leaned to the left: 125 journalists gave to Democrats and liberal causes. Only 17 gave to Republicans. Two gave to both parties."
