NBC Donated $5.6 Million To Democratic Party, Provided First Debate’s Moderator
NBC parent company Comcast donated $5.6 million to the Democratic Party during its convention in Philadelphia, and NBC provided Monday night’s presidential debate moderator.The Democratic Party released a comprehensive list of donors right before the momentous debate, according to The Intercept.
Moderator Lester Holt works for NBC; he is the host of the NBC’s flagship, primetime daily television program “NBC Nightly News.”
The donations were given to the “Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee” which was “supporting a nominating convention,” according to the 1,098 pages of receipts and disbursements.
The Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee received the donations and then disbursed them to the Democratic Party.
A supplementary report also shows that Comcast Corporation donated goods and services, like “data/network, voice, security, TV, space, equipment, and labor” from “March 2016 through October 2016.”
Uh, so the Dem Party finally disclosed donors to the Philly convention, RIGHT before the debate, to obscure the news https://t.co/QdGT3Wj6JU

The Federal Election Commission provides instructions and the forms for how to properly report and take part in this type of fundraising.
Other big name donors include AT&T ($1.5 million); Microsoft ($650,000); and Google ($500,000).
Known as “Friday news dump,” releasing information before a weekend or a holiday is a common tactic. Organizations and politicians often do this if the data being revealed could be interpreted as incriminating, or at least unflattering.
