“No matter what. Stephanopoulos is not a journalist. You’re talking about the media as though they’re still media, and they’re not. The reason you’re not… You can march on the media and the networks all you want. You may as well go to the DNC and march because that’s who they are. They are the Democrat National Committee. Every damned one of them. Every editor, every executive, every producer, every writer, every reporter, every anchor, is the Democrat National Committee.” Rush Limbaugh

NBC Universal, News Corporation, Turner Broadcasting and Thomson Reuters are among more than a dozen media organizations that have made charitable contributions to the Clinton Foundation in recent years, the foundation’s records show.
The donations, which range from the low-thousands to the millions, provide a picture of the media industry’s ties to the Clinton Foundation at a time when one of its most notable personalities, George Stephanopoulos, is under scrutiny for his previously undisclosed $75,000 contribution.
