Unions Donate to Sharpton’s Nonprofit and Win Airtime on Sharpton’s MSNBC Show
National Review ^ | May 4, 2015 | Jillian Kay Melchior

Since Politics Nation debuted on MSNBC on August 29, 2011, Al Sharpton’s nonprofit National Action Network has collected more than $2.38 million in contributions from unions, according to Department of Labor records. Meanwhile, Sharpton has often used his show to promote pro-labor viewpoints, also inviting union leadership on as guests.

National Action Network ... has apparently remained in financial trouble. A 2013 filing with the Internal Revenue Service showed the nonprofit had ended the year with negative assets of $1.33 million. Nonprofit experts have told National Review that the Sharpton’s six-figure salary from National Action Network, as well as the $328,881 in loans from Sharpton to the organization, raises red flags.

Has Sharpton paid his taxes yet? If not, why isn’t the IRS going after him?

If Sharpton is able to loan NAN $328,881, why hasn’t he begun paying his back taxes?

There’s some other story here. I don’t see how MSNBC is paying Sharpton more than $150k a year....revenue profits for the network are dismal. They could hire a thousand guys off the street and get better numbers than what Sharpton gives them. There’s some other game being played here.

MSNBC is a money laundering operation. The bogus network hires Big Al with money funneled through Comcast by various DNC operations and organizations.

Yes, there is.

Just look at who heads MSLSD and NBC and there’s your answer.
