George Soros Donates $1 Million to Media Matters

Media Matters being the lefty outfit dedicated to attacking any media outlet that doesn’t solidly toe the far-lefty line. Let’s see if “clean government” lefties have a shit-fit over this like they did over the Koch brothers or News Corp. Rich people buying elections!1!!!

Media Matters, the liberal activist group which wages a rhetorical war against Fox News Channel and others in the conservative press, will announce today the receipt of a $1 million donation from the philanthropist George Soros.

In a statement obtained by The Caucus, the organization says it plans to use the money to intensify its efforts to hold Fox host Glenn Beck and others on the cable news channel accountable for their reporting.

“Fox has transformed itself into a 24-7 G.O.P. attack machine, dividing Americans through fear-mongering and falsehoods and undermining the legitimacy of our government for partisan political ends,” the group will say in the statement to be released this afternoon.

So you have a lefty group funded by billionaire leftists attacking FOX News for using its resources to actually fact check the Obama Administration. And we’re supposed to be angry over the fact that some people who don’t want their wealth redistributed are donating to conservative politicians.
