For the second time this week, NewsMax.com has revealed some stunning connections amidst the John Kerry campaign that have been totally ignored by the mass media.

        In an August 27, 2004, article, Jonathan M. Stein reports that prominent figures at the New York Times have donated substantial sums of money to the Kerry presidential campaign:

Editors Christine Muhlke and Elizabeth Stewart, have contributed at least $1,500 to the Kerry camp. "These are individuals who have direct influence on the selection of stories that run in the Times and its companion magazine – and they are on the record giving money out of their own pockets directly to the Kerry campaign," writes Stein.

At least two other employees, Alan Flippen and William Usuik, have donated $1,250 to Kerry.

"Dr. Judith P. Sulzberger (who owns, de jure, approximately 5 percent of the New York Times voting shares, or over about 7 million shares), has donated the maximum ($2,000) directly to Kerry," and, in total, "has donated in excess of $27,000 to Kerry and other far-left efforts to defeat the president."

        Adds Stein, "Alternatively, not a single employee of the Times has contributed to President Bush or any other Republican candidate or organization. This fact, i.e. the fact that influential individuals working for the New York Times have contributed money directly to Kerry, and Kerry alone, is quite troubling and seriously calls into question the objectivity of that news outlet." (emphasis added)

        As major news outlets have been hyperventilating over the fact Republican donors have helped to fund Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, here is an obvious double standard as they simply ignore this connection.

        Stein's article is a must-read.
