Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One (32 page)

ON OTHER MEDIA
The liberal consensus extends to the rest of the media as well. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, 78 percent of the political contributions of the music, television, and movie industries in 2008 went to Democratic candidates. Over the past twenty years, these industries have supported Democrats by more than a 2-to-1 margin. Presumably, this has no impact on their content.
