The Agitator notes the silly hypocrisy in the “irrelevant” Media Matters’ new effort at transparency.
So I just noticed the Media Matters “Transparency” project today after clicking over from another site. It lists the major donors to all sorts of conservative and libertarian organizations, including my current and previous employers, Reason and Cato.As I’ve noted before, both Reason and Cato already lists their major donors in their annual reports. At Reason, we also publish the names of everyone who has given the Reason Foundation at least $1,000 each year in the magazine.
But here’s what you won’t find on the Media Matters “Transparency” website, or on the main Media Matters site: a list of the names of the major donors to Media Matters. They keep that secret.
The one big donor of which we know is socialist George Soros who gave the “irrelevant” website $1 million dollars to watch a lot of Fox News and stalk Andrew Breitbart on Twitter. So essentially they got paid a lot of money to do what most basement bloggers already do, and some even better, for free.
What is the point in Media Matters’ war of the billionaires? To go with the billionaire that pays them the most? To go with the billionaire that provides a way for them to wax poetic about failed political theories? How can one complain about the activities of free businessmen when they are the hacks for one?
