We already talked about GE - over the years they are virtually equal in their lobbying monies donated to Dems and GOP as a large corp:

I think it's important to discriminate between what the larger comglomerates donate in aggregate, versus the "news" branches of those conglomerates (which is the subject) Sure they can hide donations by splitting it between subsidiaries, but I don't want to see any alleged "impartial" news org participating.

Here's GE, with the NBC/MSNBC donations separated out by subset (NBC Saturday Night Live, NBC News, NBC Sports, etc)
