Harry Reid: ‘I don’t know’ if my relationship with Media Matters violates its tax-exempt status By Michelle Fields-- The Daily Caller 11:48 PM 03/08/2012 ADVERTISEMENT

In an exclusive interview at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told The Daily Caller that he doesn’t know if his plan to promote Media Matters for America‘s new book violates the legal requirements of its 501(c)(3) non-profit status.

When TheDC asked Reid whether he will be helping Media Matters’ David Brock promote the book, “The Fox Effect,” he said he would assist Brock “any way I can. … I have the greatest respect for [him], and his co-author [Ari Rabin-Havt] worked for me for many years.” (RELATED: More stories in the investigative ‘Inside Media Matters’ series)

Reid attended the launch party for the anti-Fox News book at Media Matters’ headquarters. He told the assembled crowd there that he enjoyed “beating up on Fox” and would “promote” the book.

Officially, the listed authors of “The Fox Effect” are David Brock, Ari Rabin-Havt and the Media Matters For America organization itself. Reid’s advocacy on behalf of the book will, therefore, directly financially benefit Media Matters.

He is already prosecutable for aiding and abetting the enemy during time of war. Face it: people like him are above the law.

It’s not really his problem, it’s Media Matters’ problem.

Doesn’t know? Maybe. Doesn’t care? Clearly. Thanks Sub-Driver.
