Should the left wing media be considered a "contribution in kind" to the Democrats?

When Palin became "dangerously" popular in the last campaign, the Democrat media viciously attacked her. When Perry began moving up quickly in the polls, he became the next target. Now Cain is in the lead, and unproven and irrelevant charges are being dredged up against him. Meanwhile, under Obama, the nation is in a near depression, the Iranians are getting the bomb, China is about to eat our lunch, and there are OWS socialist encampments harboring rapists on the streets of our cities--but not a word is said against this failed president. Perhaps the left wing media should be forced to declare themselves as "contributors in kind" to the Democrat Party.
