Like chasing after storefronts, eh?
Here's the problem: Tides is just one link in one of many funding chains. Bust Tides and the leftists set up another storefront. You will have wasted your time. Look at what Pike is paid, a lousy $50K. He's peanuts. Why not go after the source of the money? In Tides' case that's largely Pew.
Activist groups like Capital Research are all over on both "sides." They dig up stuff from others in the business and present it as if it's orginal research exposing the nexus of evil. The reality is that they're looking to stay in the news and justify donations. What gets to me is that when they scream "wolf" they end up diverting the effort to bust the real influence buyers.
Why not concentrate our efforts in supporting the people who do the original hard research? Try Ron Arnold, for instance, at the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, or Henry Lamb at ECO. They've done truly important work, they do credible research, and they are in real need of the support.
