I seem to remember a large group of republicans parading over to a room hoping to be allowed in.
They were not.
 
It has to be tongue in cheek don’t you think? I mean really just so out there to be genuine

Benedict Arnold might have been doing a great job, at least for a while.

You mean record setting deficits in a time of good economy? Or weakening position on the world stage? I should hope that no Democrat can do that.

Obama only doubled debt from 10T to 20T

That’s Dem platform. They believe in One Global Utopian Socialist Government where all countries equal thus they see America as too strong and needs to be weakened to achieve their Utopia. Hence “apology tour”, hence open borders, etc

It isn’t made up, but you are correct. As stated it is inaccurate.

I should have written: …between 87% and 97% of journalists [who donate to a political party] donate to Democratic or left wing political candidates.

I’m glad you can acknowledge the mistake.

So, even if 87% of the journalists that donated money donated it Democrats, that really doesn’t mean anything if we don’t know what percentage of journalists donated money. If 80% did, then there might be meaning there. If 10% did, then very few journalists donated to Democrats and it the stat means almost nothing.

Not exactly true. Pew has done research on the level of participation in making donations to parties. About 10% of Americans do, however…
  • Those who said they follow what is going on in government and public affairs most of the time reported donating at a rate of 28%
  • 22% of Democrats and Democratic leaners and 10% Republicans and Republican leaners reported making a donation.
  • Nearly a third (32%) of those with family incomes of $150,000 or more say they made a political donation.
  • 27% of those with family incomes of $150,000 or more said they contributed more than $250
Given that journalists meet all four of the above criteria, i.e, follow public affairs, are more likely to make a donation if Democrat, have a family income higher than $150 000 and are more likely to contribute more than $250, we could probably come up with a calculus to indicate that most of the prominent journalists who work for influential media corporations donate to the Democratic Party. The number is very likely well above 30%.

The other factor to consider is that even if only 15% of the general public donate to political parties – as the Pew study finds, there is every reason to think that – since about half vote Rep and half Dem, those stats – the numbers that donate are somewhat reflective of how they lean.

So if 87-97% of journalists who donate donate to the Dems, there is good reason to think that that proportion is reflective of how they vote.

This is an interesting article, although it is a bit dated. Journalists consistently voted 80%+ Democrat, and that figure is much higher now based on how the press attacks Trump.

  • 81 percent of the journalists interviewed voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in every election between 1964 and 1976.
  • In the Democratic landslide of 1964, 94 percent of the press surveyed voted for President Lyndon Johnson (D) over Senator Barry Goldwater (R).
  • In 1976, the Democratic nominee, Jimmy Carter, captured the allegiance of 81 percent of the reporters surveyed while a mere 19 percent cast their ballots for President Gerald Ford.
  • Over the 16-year period, the Republican candidate always received less than 20 percent of the media elite’s vote.

Are you still convinced that the propaganda machine is “right wing?”

When the democratic nations respected our leaders and didn’t ignore them at economic conferences.

Then you’ve got to name another source for the 87% figure, since that includes former journalists, as well as people like restaurant reviewers for local papers.
