Once again, a high-profile blogger is outraged over where the "hacks" are putting their money in this election:

JOURNALISTS FOR KERRY: Michael Petrelis has done some digging and found which hacks have given to which candidates. Big surprise: "President George Bush didn't receive a single donation from any outlet or reporter in my search." The New Yorker is, in particular, up to its eyeballs in reporter contributions to lefties and Dems.

Just a quick reminder, folks: The vast majority of Americans get their news from TV and radio -- particularly from local TV and radio, where the station managers are making most of the news judgments -- not from The New Yorker. (Red State Reality Check for Blue State Conservatives: According to the local postmaster, your humble correspondent happens to be the only person in his zip code who subscribes to that particular publication. [You know your local postmaster? -- ed. Of course. Gee, that's another Red State Reality Check of sorts, isn't it?]) And, as you can see for yourself, the over-the-air guys aren't exactly throwing money at John Kerry and the Democrats.
