I think that all reporters should have to be identified by their political affiliation so that we know their true intentions while reporting a story.

These were individuals giving... not the corporate arm like News Corp...

Doesn't that make a difference?

I think that's a knee-jerk reaction.

Political affliation shouldn't matter when one is reporting the news.

The only place that comes into play is when they give their opinion after the fact.

With such a blatantly biased media I dont think my suggestion is knee jerk at all.

Is your firm part of the watchdog media?

If not, your point is nullified.

Wait I thought corporations donating money is bad. Also I wonder how the post by democrats will compare to the post in the thread about Fox donating money. Wanna bet how different they are going to be.

Personally I dont want any news corp to be donating money to either side and we have actual Journalist reporting facts not spinning things to suit your personal agenda.
