On the other hand, I'd say that the observation of how much money the campaigns brought really kind of proves my point after all. Since the conservative groups were hobbled in their efforts to organize, of course the money flowed more freely to the Obama campaign than it did to the Romney campaign.
It's not that tax exempt grass roots organizations can give money directly to either campaign. But the more "get out the vote" and publicity that either side can muster, the more money would flow. And if you've got one side that has more organization and more networking because it's NOT hobbled by an IRS that is holding up their application processes, then yes - that campaign is going to see more money.
As for the bias of the NY Times AND the Pulitzers, well, that's getting a bit off-topic. But trust me, there's enough there to devote an entire thread to it someday. But I don't feel like derailing this one for that purpose.

But as a tease for the curious, see what you can find googling the names "Walter Duranty" and "Gareth Jones".
