Time Warner Well Represented in New Administration
National Journal, March 9, 2009

Time Warner bet big with its campaign money when it gave $544,601 to the Obama campaign in the 2008 election cycle, compared with only $29,676 to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). And now, the media conglomerate has at least five people with ties to the company in key administration positions. And many other industry lobbyists hold positions within the Obama administration.
