George Soros gives a $1 million to Media, another warning for Americans


Well this is one way to respond to Glenn Beck.

The New York Times just broke the story that very rich person George Soros is donating $1million to Media Matters “in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy.” Also because “recent evidence suggesting that the incendiary rhetoric of Fox News hosts may incite violence.” Recent evidence is presumably Media Matters recent campaign to prove that Glenn Beck is responsible for Byron Williams plan to attack workers at the American Civil Liberties Union and the Tides Foundation.

As the NYT (and frequently, Glenn Beck) points out Soros has long been rumored to be the money behind Media Matter even though officials there “regularly denied that they had ever taken money from Mr. Soros” something Soros again denies in his statement. However, Politico points out that Media Matters “has received funding from or formed partnerships with several groups that Soros funds. These include the Tides Foundation, Democracy Alliance, Moveon.org and the Center for American Progress.”
