The actual title is: Now Media Matters is tied to MoveOn, ACORN. See who is one of the biggest donors to anti-Fox News activist group It's too long to fit in the space for the title.

One of the single largest donors to the embattled Media Matters for America is a controversial far-left clearinghouse that funds groups like MoveOn.org, ACORN and a litany of antiwar organizations, KleinOnline has learned.

The organization in question, the Tides Foundation, is funded in part by billionaire George Soros, himself a prominent Media Matters donor.

Tides functions as a money tunnel where major leftist donors provide large sums that are channeled to hundreds of radical groups.

Tides documentation reviewed by KleinOnline shows the group provided a total of $4,099,935.62 to Media Matters during the fiscal years of 2004-2009.

During that same time period, Tides provided an additional $110,000 to the Media Matters Action Network, the group’s affiliated progressive lobby.

What is his FR handle?

Looking at the photos, they mostly look like clean, civilized people. It is amazing they can sell their jouralistic souls to be propagandist and talking point mimes. It is amazing that they are willing to be so lazy, destructive and frankly pathetic.

I think that most of America is used to the fraud too. It seems that no one gives a ‘like’ when I post political stuff on facebook. It’s just ho hum, move along, who cares? The apathy makes me so mad!

Aaron has been doing investigation on these groups for months. It’s likely they copied his work.

Did you notice how many of those on the Journolist appear to be Jewish? I think that it would be easier to count those who do not appear to be Jewish.

That’s pretty scary, given the Obama attitude toward Israel and the Middle East.

LOL first time someone ever swore at me at FR was a profanity laced freep mail from Rick Pearlstein.

Since then, hundreds of FReepers have sworn at me.

LOL - You know you’re a FReeper when the left swears at you.
It’s all they’ve got. Well, that and the shakedown race-pimp bidness.

I remember Rick but it’s been several years.

I recognize a number of these folks from their editorials. Are any of them strictly “news” people?

Well that warrants a visit.

@Did Media Matters fund the marketing of Obamacare?: Progressive group under fire for questionable financial practices.

I count two instances of the Daily Caller being used as source in that article alone and muuuuuultiple instances and references to the new book by Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott.

And since the site finally got my hit by my going to look at the article you posted, and to see what else was there, I must mention that they twice reference the Daily Caller in the article you've posted as well, though it's all of the way at the bottom.
And don't forget about the new book.

Perhaps he was actually busy exposing "the relationship between the Herndon Alliance and the Obama White House" in the new book by Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott for which he deserves all due credit.

I just don't see what you see.
