Hmmm....MSM DONATIONS to Bachmann

[FLAprogressive]

Hubbard Broadcasting, which owns KSTP-TV (ABC) in Minneapolis (among other TV and radio stations) has donated over $12,000 to the Michele Bachmann campaign. Sounds like a conflict-of-interest if you ask me.

They have also donated to other Republican candidates:

2. Always follow the money... thanks for posting this...Price Waterhouse

Is always an interesting contributor $10,000:

Shortly after accounting giant Arthur Andersen got caught up in the Enron scandal in January 2001, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the other big accounting firms swung into action to prevent additional federal regulation of the accounting industry.

They were successful—until WorldCom’s accounting troubles came to light five months later. Shortly thereafter, an industry used to getting its way over the past decade or more was slapped with legislation prohibiting accounting firms from offering consulting services to their audit clients (a practice that got Arthur Andersen into trouble) and creating an independent regulatory board to oversee accounting practices.

As the world’s largest accounting firm, Pricewaterhouse stands to lose the most by having to sell off its consulting arms. How this will affect the company’s clout in Washington remains to be seen.

3. Hmmm that too....I think the MSM contribution is bigger

A local television station donating to republican candidates -- not good for them.
