Looks like Facebook has a new friend request. A CNNMoney report reveals that the social media company has contributed more to the GOP campaign this election.
Does Facebook "like" Republicans more? Alison Kosik in New York has more.

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --
FACEBOOK HAS BEEN BUSY "FRIENDING" REPUBLICANS THIS ELECTION.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY SO FAR HAS CONTRIBUTED $140,000 TO REPUBLICANS COMPARED WITH $127,000 TO DEMOCRATS, ACCORDING TO A CNNMONEY REVIEW OF FEDERAL RECORDS.
FACEBOOK HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE POLITICAL PLAYER EVEN BEFORE IT WENT PUBLIC IN MAY...IT CREATED A POLITICAL ACTION COMMITEE LAST YEAR.
POLITICS COULD PLAY A BIG ROLE IN FACEBOOK'S BUSINESS. ANY NEW LEGISLATION PREVENTING FACEBOOK FROM COLLECTING AND USING MEMBERS' INFORMATION COULD HURT THE COMPANY'S PROFITS.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANT IS NOT ALONE. MICROSOFT, CISCO AND E-BAY ALSO CONTRIBUTED MORE TO REPUBLICANS THIS ELECTION SEASON. OVERALL, THE TECH INDUSTRY HAS DOLED OUT ABOUT $330,000 MORE TO REPUBLICANS THAN TO DEMOCRATS.
WHILE FACEBOOK WILL NOT DISCUSS ITS CORPORATE POLITICAL GIVING, a COMPANY SPOKESMAN SAYS FACEBOOK SUPPORTS CANDIDATES WHO PROMOTE INNOVATION.
BUT FACEBOOK EMPLOYEES HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW. THE CENTER FOR RESPONSIVE POLITICS REPORTs THAT PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM FACEBOOK workers HEAVILY FAVORED DEMOCRATS.
I'M ALISON KOSIK IN NEW YORK.
