Alec MacGillis reports in Tuesday’s Washington Post that several entertainment CEOs have given the maximum $5,000 donation to Barack Obama’s inauguration effort, including Star Wars creator George Lucas and Andrew Lack, reported as a Sony CEO. (He didn’t note that his wife Betsy Lack also kicked in five grand.) Lack distinguished himself in the last cycle by donating thousands to Edwards, then to Obama, and then to Hillary.

There’s a small mistake: Broadcasting & Cable magazine reported in October that Lack has left Sony to be a CEO at Bloomberg’s multimedia division.

But who is Andrew Lack? Before Sony, he was president of NBC News from 1993 to 2001 (where I remember him as the guy who lamely dismissed the idea that granting Hillary’s health care plan its own NBC special – bought and paid for by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which helped Hillary formulate her plan – demonstrated a political agenda). He took on the wider reins of NBC entertainment and news operations from 2001 to 2003.

Before that, Lack served as a producer at CBS News, where he was responsible for producing such fountains of liberal bias as the Bill Moyers-narrated, anti-Reagan CBS Reports hatchet job “People Like Us” (1982). Even then, he was giving to the Democrats at the office.
