Relying on tax returns and websites of wealthy U.S. foundations, a Daily Caller investigation has revealed the sources of more than $28.8 million in funding collected by the liberal Media Matters for America since 2003, the year before its formal incorporation. That sum represents 54 percent of every dollar the organization has raised in its history, making Media Matters a principally foundation-driven not citizen-supported activist group.
The list of Media Matters foundation funders, 120 in all, reads like a Whos Who of the American progressive movement, including the far-left Tides Foundation ($4,384,702), George Soros Open Society Institutes ($1,075,000), the Ford Foundation ($966,466), the Sandler Foundation ($400,000) endowed by subprime mortgage lenders Herb and Marion Sandler, who once bankrolled the embattled ACORN organization and the Schumann Fund for Media and Democracy ($600,000), managed by longtime PBS host Bill Moyers and his son.
They also include the anti-George W. Bush organization MoveOn.org ($50,000), the Barbra Streisand Foundation ($85,000), the kids shoes-powered Stride Rite Charitable Foundation ($25,000), the Lear Family Foundation ($55,000)

Glenn Beck had ALL of this stuff about 3 or 4 years ago when he had a Fox News Show. “Tucker Carlson” and the “Daily Caller” are just trying to rip Glenn and his staff off and take credit for this.
Grassley is now calling for an investigation of MM’s tax-exempt status.
The left had to get rid of Beck because he is very, very good at connecting dots.
In other words, call in the usual suspects!
I believe Media Matters is a 503(c) - meaning its supposed to be non-partisan.
“Progressive” organizations are like poor South American countries - the powerful bored rich supporting the criminal class to keep the ‘pot’ stirred. Sick.
Media Matters was known to be Soros’s Sturmableilung!
beck might have been a few things but on issues like this he was the only one who had balls to cover and report.
The likes of Hannity would rather have his elitist liberal pals on and ignore social conservative issues and instead take his role off what Rush said that day.
Beck is let go form FOX but FOX hires Megyn Kelly’s pal Sally Kohn.
A Soros stooge media matter, homosexual activist , here is some facts about Kohn Megyn Kellys pal and the new FOX hire

Beck said that if the Govt and the left cannot close down a place like the boy scouts or FOX they then try to get them banned and that did not work with FOX so they now try ti infiltrate FOX and the likes of Megyn Kelly that blond bimbo on in the afternoon or I think she is as I stopped watching her got her on the inside.
the second link states how Kohn has gone after FOX, put down America and capitalism etc, pushed her radical socialist views about and tried to hurt Beck.
Here she is now of all places WORKING AT FOX!!!
