The Hispanic news network Univision may have "dumped Trump," but it still shares one thing in common with the outspoken billionaire: both have made a lot of donations to Democrats.

A Media Research Center report released Wednesday shows that nearly 90 percent of donations made by the Spanish-language network since 2008 have wound up in the pockets of Democratic candidates.

The network, which has launched an all-out war against Trump since he referred to illegal immigrants as "criminals" and "rapists" in his presidential announcement, created a super PAC in 2007 that has reportedly contributed a total of $569,000 to candidates for public office since the 2008 election cycle.

According to MRC's report, 87 percent, or $494,000, of Univision PAC's total contributions, have gone to Democratic politicians. Meanwhile, just $75,000 went to Republican candidates.

Most of the PAC's funds come from the network's employees and their family members, including several top-level executives who have donated thousands of dollars annually.

According to InsideGov, a nonpartisan research site that publishes financial data on political campaigns and political action committees, 10 Univision employees contributed approximately $10,000 each to the network's PAC in 2012.

Despite the partisan leaning of its PAC, Univision's leading viewer demographic appears ideologically divided. A survey of Hispanics commissioned by the network in mid-August showed that a greater percentage consider themselves "conservative" (32 percent) as opposed to "liberal" (28 percent).

Still, the network has been an unabashed advocate of agenda-driven journalism. In April, Univision News President Isaac Lee said:

"I think if you are an American journalist covering the Second World War, it's not a problem for you to want the Nazis to lose. And I don't think you need to be saying 'Well, you know, the Allied Expeditionary Force Commander says this, and on the other hand the Fuhrer says that.' I think it's ok to understand that sometimes you have to be on the right side of the issues in history."

He added that Ramos, who was recently ejected from a Trump press conference after the interrupting another journalist to deliberately question the GOP front-runner's stance on immigration, is "going to ask necessary to push the agenda for a more fair society for a more inclusive society and for the Hispanic community to be better." Lee appeared to approve of that tactic.

According to InsideGov, the leading Hispanic network's PAC currently has $493,915 cash on hand. It remains to be seen which 2016 candidates, if any, will benefit from that money.
