Viacom and the 2012 FEC election cycle

What this Viacom 2012 cell is

This cell is Viacom money inside 2012, not Viacom money forever and not 2012 money from every employer. FEC.gov puts $321,439 at that crossing, from 212 itemized contributions and 76 donors.

The string VIACOM is media-company employer text. Neighboring labels are other pages. This file does not invent donor names, recipient committees, or dollar amounts beyond the packet.

Readers comparing hubs should remember the missing key. The Viacom hub lacks 2012. The 2012 hub lacks Viacom. This page has both, totaling $321,439.

Share of the stored Viacom total

Stored Viacom contributions sum to $4,344,777. The 2012 window holds $321,439, about 7.4%. Other cycles hold $4,023,338 (92.6%). The share is a ratio, not a verdict.

Because spellings split, $4,344,777 can undercount a real-world organization and overcount a popular generic word. Either way, the ratio 7.4% uses only this string’s facts. Share language on this page always means $321,439 as a fraction of $4,344,777 (about 7.4%), never as a fraction of all 2012 FEC receipts. No cycle-wide denominator is in the facts. The remainder inside the grouping is $4,023,338.

Arithmetic on the 2012 cell

The 2012 cell’s volume stats are 212 contributions, 76 donors, and $321,439. Derived means are $1,516 per line and $4,229 per donor, with about 2.8 contributions per donor.

Those derived figures use only packet facts. No median, no party split, and no recipient ranking is available here. The donor count 76 and the contribution count 212 should be cited together with $321,439. Omitting volume makes a large or small mean invisible. Derived means are $1,516 per line and $4,229 per donor.

Use the 2012 election cycle link to leave the employer filter. Use the Viacom link to leave the year. Use the overlay to see rows for this cell. Two-year FEC windows collect itemized receipts from both years. 2012 is that window. Election-night totals are a different grain and are not computed here.

What this join refuses to claim

If the overlay and this JSON differ, trust the overlay and FEC.gov. This prose is a packet snapshot of the two-dimension cell. Viacom is media-company employer text. The FEC does not certify payroll, licenses, or tribal enrollment on this aggregate. Neighboring strings remain other pages. $321,439 is the exact-string 2012 cell.
