Conservatives have long believed American culture is entrenched with a liberal bias, only to be scoffed at and called paranoid. However, three new charts dealing with political donations from academia, media, and Hollywood prove this to be the case.
Business Insider was provided a data set (http://www.businessinsider.com/proof-of-liberal-bias-in-hollywood-media-and-academia-2014-11)of federal campaign contributions dating all the way back to 1980, making the sample size considerable. The data set confirms that media, academia, and the entertainment industry are some of the most liberal professions in America. The findings were provided by CROWDPAC (https://www.crowdpac.com/about), a non-partisan analytics firm based out of California.
In compiling all this data, and building these tools, we have the opportunity to shine some light on the political system and reveal some interesting insights and trends, Crowdpac CEO Steve Hilton said of the findings. For example, our real data conforms with the claims that have been circulated about the extremely liberal profile of the entertainment and media sectors.
The following charts were compiled (http://blog.crowdpac.com/post/101785128940/the-political-bias-of-each-profession) using political donations from employees of each profession to political candidates.
