According to the Center for Responsive Politics, big media companies vary widely as to political preference when it comes to contributions from PACs (political action committees) and individuals. National Cable & Telecommunications Association is the top campaign contributor in the TV/Movie/Music category in the 2006 election cycle at $1,366,694 through the beginning of August, with the majority of that, 58%, going to Republicans. Second on the list is Time Warner at $1,202,502, but with the large majority of that, 71%, going to Democrats. Rounding out the top five are Comcast at $1,116,292 (52% to Democrats), followed by Clear Channel at $599,179 (62% to Republicans), and the National Association of Broadcasters $589,420 (68% going to Republicans). Who gets this cash? The top three pols are Hillary Clinton at $530,738 (D-NY), Sen Ted Kennedy at $206,950 (D-MA), and Sen Bill Nelson (D-FL) at $197,369
