Media Matters, Lefty Propaganda Sites Lose Top Donor

Is there trouble in paradise?

You may not be aware of the name "Democracy Alliance," but you know who they are. It's an organization that gathers liberal 1%ers and tells them which other leftist organizations they should give their tax-deductible "charitable" donations to. George Soros? Yup. Founding member of the Democracy Alliance. It was founded as a way to control where liberal 1% money would go so that it would have the most impact. Apparently, recent decisions on where the money goes has left a certain major donor - Peter Lewis, founder of Progressive Insurance - with a bad taste in his mouth.

In February, HuffPost reported that the Democracy Alliance had changed its donation strategy and dropped some progressive groups from its top tier, raising concerns that the group was aligning itself with organizations closely tied to the White House, such as the Center for American Progress and Media Matters for America, at the expense of groups that challenge the Democratic Party to be more progressive.

" at the expense of groups that challenge the Democratic Party to be more progressive. "

Say what? He wants to support groups that are more "progressive", i.e. "communist" than Media Matters, et al and that's why he's bailing on Soros?

I gotta be missing something.
