13. I'm not sure we can know they gave nothing..

I have made several donations over the past year(some to specific candidates,and some to groups) and my name didn't show up on the list anywhere. The amounts weren't large(all under $100.00)but the checks were cashed. Does anyone know if there are some conditions or something before they have to list your name?

16. All "journalists" have to do to "contribute" is give positive coverage....

...to their candidate and attack their ideological enemies.

The value of Hannity/O'Reilly is far more than a paltry $2,000.
