Journalists are often educated people who have investigated the fraud and corruption inherent in GOP politics. They don't want to be caught with their pants down, giving to people like Foley and the Bush terrorists.
But "Big Oil, corporate execs, pharmacy bigwigs and defense contractors" aren't out there REPORTING on the news, they're admitted partisans. They openly support the GOP (by the way, gabs, I don't know what "lawyers" you're talking about, but the trial lawyers give a TON to the Democrats...)

That's the difference.

"Journalists are educated people," Oh My God. And businesspeople aren't? Actually, what is it, exactly, that journalists are educated in? What do they know how to do? Run a business? Fix a car? Design a house? Anybody can be a journalist. Basically it's a group of snivelers who can't stand the average Guy and Gal out there and serve to keep the Powerful in power with their lies and distortions.

If journalists are "aware" of the "corruption" of the GOP (and PLEASE - like the Democrats AREN'T corrupt?), then they should GO TO WORK DIRECTLY FOR DEMOCRATS instead of hanging around as a supposedly impartial journalist.
