If you had me off ignore, you would know already.
The only problem with such correlations is which is cause and which is effect?
i would say normally, people give to republicans because they like their actions and hate democrats actions rather than buying votes. That does occur as well, and can even be the case of 2why people spend money on democrats. It works both ways. Problem is, determining if the money is paid to buy votes, or paid because they support an action taken.

You typically outhink your limited thinking ability.
Everybody votes their own self-interest, their greed. American politics isn't a humanitarian activity, isn't a charity. It's a sewer of corruption.
Perfect example is everybody says they hate earmarks, but only those that don't come to their area. US will never cut back its bloated, wasteful, corrupt military budget because so many states and districts depend on that money, eg, San Antonio TX.
Political money buys political "action" and votes. end of story. Murdoch certainly has gotten and will get more favorable treatment for this $1M.
Venal America is for sale, probably now more than ever, but the FFs were clearly worried about the power of corporations to corrupt their new republic.

How the Fox-Comcast Machine Crushed a Journalist Who Spoke Out Against Bill O'Reilly

Why do people care so much about whether Fox News is fair? Does anyone here consider MSNBC, CNN or PBS for that matter to be networks without a left spin or use hosts who are overt liberals? Do you guys think that this country wasn't built on political spin in the media? Anyone here ever heard of Common Sense?
Certainly everyone here knows that there were federalist and anti-federalist newspapers during the drafting of the cons ution and into the first presidency of George Washington. The media has always leaned strongly in whatever political direction the owner wanted, since before our country was founded.
I have never understood why people feel the need to knock Fox or why viewers of Fox feel the need to defend it. Who cares, if you get your news from cable TV you have to realize that you are watching news slanted by opinions and a drive for higher ratings.
I agreed with everything except singling out CABLE TV. Every "news" organization out there puts it's own slant/spin on the facts. The consumer just has to be smart enough to filter the spin and make their own mind up on the facts.
That's pretty much what republicans do. If they get a cold hard dose of reality, they don't like it.
I can buy that.
I consider anything on TV to be cable. But I stand corrected.
