The IRS has targeted tax-exempt non-profits as the locus classicus for tax fraud. One "charity" writing checks to another " charity" is a HUGE well-known tax dodge.

N/P's also put phantom employees on the payroll and book phony line items like "maintenance, PR, building, legal fees, administration" to siphon off tax-free monies for themselves.

What's next for the fascistic MM---book burning? (/snix)

MM own website says that any donation “is fully tax deductible”. I think I’ll research it a bit more.

Great post, btw.

DemocracyInAction also lists itself as a 501(c)3 - they are the company that handles the technology and “donations” to Media Matters. Actually, they refer to themselves as “a progressive 501(c)3.”

Mark Levin spoke about the “criminal front group” Media Matters, March 28, 2011, on the Mark Levin Show:

“I have been using the phrase “criminal front group” to describe this group Media Matters now for many, many years. I have explained in great detail what a 501C3 non-profit, non-partisan charitable organization is under the Internal Revenue Code because I study these things, as does my legal group.

I have also used the phrase “tortuous business interference” for anybody who seeks, including them, to interfere with my program, and so these words [phrases] are getting around now apparently, and these arguments are getting around now, apparently.

When you talk about Media Matters, do as I do, and have done for years. Refer to it as the “criminal front group” Media Matters.

And the reason I call it a “criminal front group” is because it is taking contributions from individuals. Those individuals can deduct them from their own income taxes. Media Matters, being a non-profit charitable organization, does not pay any taxes on it, and yet it basically is a laundering operation that uses tax-exempt money, which people deduct their contributions on their own income taxes from, to amass a huge amount of money-—about $10 million a year-—in order to undertake what are clearly political operations.

And I have been calling on the Internal Revenue Service to audit and investigate the “criminal front group” Media Matters now for several years, and there is absolutely a rock-solid basis to do it.

And if they do it, and I believe one day they may well, they need to make sure they get hold of all emails, all hard drives, all hard paper document communications, and telephone logs because I believe what they will find is a shadowy coordination effort between this organization and, among these organizations this one is the hub, and Democrat operatives, Democrat public officials, and Democrat organizations.

Time has long past for the Internal Revenue Service to do its job.”
