There’s No Gratitude in Politics

Alana’s right to question the decision of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee (DSCC) to join the mob piling on embattled media mogul Rupert Murdoch. But, as Ben Smith points out at Politico, their decision to join the chorus of bashers is even more hypocritical than you may have thought. During the 2010 election cycle, News Corp. donated $124,550 to Senate Democrats while giving only $27,700 to Republicans.

If the DSCC thinks Murdoch is so bad, will they be giving all that money back anytime soon? Don’t hold your breath.
