Cablevision overwhelmingly favors Democrats

New York cable operator Cablevision gave $58,200 to Democrats running for the US Senate in 2010 while giving to Republican Senate candidates. The company only gave scantily to Republicans in the House, donating $3,750 in total. That compares to $92,950 given to Democrats. That means around 96 percent of House donations went to Democrats. The company also hired more Democrats than Republicans to lobby Congress last year. Cablevision's top issue — retransmission consent — picked up more support from Democrats than Republicans.
