SHOCKER: Free Beacon Journalist Is A Trump Donor. My favorite part is this:

Andrew Stiles, the digital managing editor of Washington Free Beacon, has given $544.25 to Trump’s presidential campaign, nearly all of it in the third quarter of this year. The contribution appears to be for an order of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hats. Stiles’ occupation is listed as “#1 TRUMP FAN” on the FEC filing.

The Free Beacon makes no secret of its conservative bias, and $500 is a small sum when compared to the $75,000 Stephanopoulos gave to the Clinton Foundation. But political donations of any amount are nevertheless a rarity in an industry that prides itself on freedom from conflict of interest.

So to be clear: Being a Democratic operative with a byline is fine, so long as you don’t admit it, or leave a paper trail. And by the way, is this first-rate media trolling by Andrew Stiles, or what? “#1 TRUMP FAN?” You know he knew that someone was going to check the paperwork. . . .
