Should News Companies Give Political Donations?

Not trying to be naive here, but how does a news company maintain impartiality in reporting stories when giving millions of dollars to specific political parties? Isn't there some kind of conflict here?


Unlike the national political parties and federal candidates, the governors? associations can take in unlimited amounts from corporations, and companies are showing their interest. News Corp., the media company controlled by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rupert Murdoch, gave the RGA $1 million in June.
