The media's almost hysterical war against Donald Trump is one sign of its overwhelming bias - fueling the resentment that drives his supporters.
Here's another sign: the astonishing amount of money journalists donate to Hillary Clinton. The bias has a number. In all, people identified in federal campaign finance filings as journalists, reporters, news editors or television news anchors — as well as other donors known to be working in journalism — have combined to give more than $396,000 to the presidential campaigns of Clinton and Trump, according to a Center for Public Integrity analysis.
Nearly all of that money — more than 96 percent — has benefited Clinton: About 430 people who work in journalism have, through August, combined to give about $382,000 to the Democratic nominee, the Center for Public Integrity’s analysis indicates.
