Journalists (like Calvert Collins) who make campaign contributions

Calvert Collins from KPTM gave Jim Esch's campaign $500, she said it was from her dad's checkbook. This story is about reporters that do these kinds of things, and some of the excuses they make up for it.

BOSTON - A CNN reporter gave $500 to John Kerry's campaign the same month he was embedded with the U.S. Army in Iraq. An assistant managing editor at Forbes magazine not only sent $2,000 to Republicans, but also volunteers as a director of an ExxonMobil-funded group that questions global warming. A junior editor at Dow Jones Newswires gave $1,036 to the liberal group MoveOn.org and keeps a blog listing "people I don't like," starting with George Bush, Pat Robertson, the Christian Coalition, the NRA and corporate America ("these are the people who are really in charge").
