The 2008 study did not find that &quot;88% of journalists donate to the Democratic party.&quot;<p>It found that, <i>of people who made a political donation and identified a journalism company as their employer</i>, 88% donated to a Democratic candidate or cause.<p>It&#x27;s not possible to take this study as evidence of an overall bias in journalism, because it is a very small, non-random sample of people. The total number of people included in the study is less than 1,500, and it was a self-selected group. In addition it includes non-journalist jobs like CFO and a &quot;Saturday Night Live&quot; producer.<p>About the only solid conclusion to draw from this study is that the vast majority of journalists do not contribute to political parties or candidates at all.
