People who identify as journalists on federal campaign finance reports overwhelmingly donated to the Clinton campaign over the Trump campaign.
The margin is 430 journalists combining to give $382,000 to Clinton, as opposed to 50 journalists combining to give $14,000 to Trump, according to an analysis by the Center for Public Integrity.
Big-name news organizations and most newspapers commonly prohibit donations to political causes and campaigns.
A 2014 study cited in the report found that 28 percent of surveyed journalists identify as Democrats, as opposed to 7 percent as Republicans.
SAN DIEGO – The president of one of the largest police organizations in the United States on Monday apologized for historical mistreatment of minorities, calling it a “dark side of our shared history” that must be acknowledged and overcome.
Terrence Cunningham, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, said at the group’s annual conference that police have historically been a face of oppression, enforcing laws that ensured legalized discrimination and denial of basic rights. He was not more specific.
NEW YORK – NBC News has fired “Today” show host Billy Bush, who was caught on tape in a vulgar conversation about women with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump before an “Access Hollywood” appearance.
Bush was suspended at the morning show two days after contents of the 2005 tape were reported on Oct. 7. NBC and Bush’s representatives had been negotiating terms of his exit before Monday’s announcement.
On the tape, Bush is heard laughing as Trump talks about fame enabling him to grope and try to have sex with women not his wife.
Bush later said he was “embarrassed and ashamed.” Trump has since denied groping women.
Bush, who had been at “Today” for two months, is the nephew of Republican former President George H.W. Bush.
VIENNA – The house where Adolf Hitler was born will be torn down and replaced with a new building that has no association with the Nazi dictator, Austria's government announced Monday as it moved to eliminate the property’s pull as a place of pilgrimage for neo-Nazis.
The plan still has to be formalized in legislation and voted on in Parliament. But the Interior Ministry said demolition was recommended by a government-appointed commission.
With the Social Democratic and centrist People’s Party in the majority, and most opposition parties expected to support the plan, passage was likely no more than a formality.
Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said that “a thorough architectural remodeling is necessary to permanently prevent the recognition and the symbolism of the building.”
