According to the Washington Post, the Ford Foundation has given the newspaper some $500,000 to hire four new staff – a lucrative $125,000 per job deal. The goal: to try “new approaches to preserve and advance high-quality journalism.” The four new positions will “work on special projects related to money, politics and government … The one-year-grant – with an agreement in principal for two additional years – is part of the Foundation’s Freedom of Expression program, an initiative aimed at promoting journalism in the public interest.” The Ford Foundation recently handed $1 million to the Los Angeles Times to cover “Vietnamese, Korean and other immigrant communities, the California prison system, the border region and Brazil.”

Remember that Zer0's Commie Mommie had some kind of funding connection from the Ford Foundation back in the day.
The Ford Foundation is TOTALLY distinct from Ford Motor Corporation. The former has been lefty for decades. The latter disdained the auto bailout and pulled forward on its own. Ford Motors is a fabulous and patriotic company!
Ford Foundation has been radically LEFT for a decade or more.
I really don't think anyone should put Ford in the same class as the bailed-out GM & Chrysler.
Ford's CEO and the company in general, has some character beyond their competitors.
Ford Foundation and Ford Motor Company are two separate entities. They are not connected.

It was setup by the Fords to keep control of the voting stock in the company.
Henry Ford 2d the last Ford on the Foundation resigned and called them communist.
The Foundation has been Hijacked by Communist, same as Anneberg Foundation who Walter Anneberg a huge Republican who was an Ambassador for Nixon.
These people never thought their Foundation would be stolen by Leftist.
no connection with Ford Motor Co since 1974.
What is the connection between the Ford Foundation and Ford automobile co.
Stop making sense. The OP is trying to blurt out all kinds of st00pit stuff when he has no idea whatsoever of the subject matter.
You're interrupting him.
“Leftist Ford Foundation Cuts WaPo $500K Check, Boycott Ford Motor Company”
This is not the title of the article you linked at Breitbart. “Boycott Ford Motor Company” must have been added by you. What is the relationship between the Ford Foundation and the Ford Motor Company? There is none to my knowledge. Also wasn’t Ford the only one of the “Big Three” who refused a Federal Obama bailout?
I’ve come to the conclusion it’s better to buy Japanese cars and reward a fantastic culture where hard work is still an ideal and where women respect their men.
After all, don’t the leftists always say b.s. platitudes like: “One world, one peace” “globalism” and “countries should have no borders.”
Well, if we’re supposed to be a “global village with no borders,” then buy your cars from the Japanese instead of supporting Union Fascist Thugs in US Auto companies. With the Unions, you’re giving money to the enemy.
$500,000 to hire four new staff
St00pit stuff, indeed!
Exactly. I know boycotts are tough...its easy to say..hard to do but this one is easy. We must boycott the UAW.
That’s true still, UAW populated by left wing nutjobs.
You are right. The Ford Foundation has nothing to do with Ford Motor Company.
That said, this owner of a long, long line of mostly Fords just bought a Japanese car (made in America, but non-union).
Lots of reasons, but certainly one is that the Ford would have sent some my money to the fungi at UAW (and thus to the rodent Dems).
(That said, Ford is a zillion times more preferable than g.m. or chrysler...icky)
.
None. Read the thread.
Ford, the original American Hitlerite.
Ford Motors is as nazi as they come and always was. You might as well drive Wolkswagen. A while back, a big blob of the ownership was “palestinian” holdings.
I live in a very ignorant mis-informed world. At least I was lucky enough to be a kid in the 60’s and 70’s.
I've found it best to buy used. It's a helluva lot cheaper. ;-)

Do you have electricity; IBEW? Do you send or receive packages UPS; Teamsters or FedEx; ALPA?
My Dad's been a ford man since he purchased a used 56 F-100 Ford Pickup.
But he wouldn't give you a plug nickel for the new ones. He sez they've cheapened them up, the suspension sucks and all the electronic doodads and computer crap under the hood make them nearly impossible to work on.
We are looking for a 60's model Ford pickup and we are gonna fix it up. Not for shows and stuff but an actual work truck that you can fix if it breaks down.
Shame on you and Steelers6 for the implication, Ben!
Then he hasn't driven one or hauled a load with one through mountain passes. What is there to work on except oil changes and brakes for the first 100,000 miles?
NPR especially has played this little game for decades.
A liberal foundation gives big money to hire a liberal “journalist” to report on stories endorsed and approved by the liberal foundation.
Stanley Kurtz has documented it in great detail.
I did, hence the question to #1.
That’s what I did with an old 1998 Viper I bought. It was just missing the suspension and I fixed it by researching/hunting down original suspensions for it. Either that or I bid again on Barrett-Jackson.
You don't have to worry about me paying you but I would love to have a new Ford Pick-Up truck.
What the heck is that supposed to mean?
What the hell does that even mean? Furthermore, I just finished reading your entire posting history. Quite bizarre to me. Nevertheless, I will defer to TheOldLady and her entourage to decipher and figure out if the Viking Kitties need to be called.
Until then, I'll stick with boycotting the MSM as I have for the past 15 years.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Damn mojito, I sure wish that would fit in a tagline!
The Ford Foundation has been Left since at least the late 60s - way before Obama was on the scene. No outsider was needed to ruin that institution - the inmates who run that asylum are the some of the nuttiest people on earth.
Why? The Ford Foundation has nothing to do with the automaker that refused a bailout and in true American fashion, pulled forward on its own - quite differently than GM or Chrysler. I’ve bought nothing but Fords for the past 4 years (2), well, other than Peterbilt tractors for my business.
So a liberal political group has literally bought themselves four journalists at this paper. Well, at least they are in the open about it.
Maybe we should just pass disclosure laws, and make the reporters wear the logos of their sponsors when they are on the air, like in NASCAR. That way, Americans will know that Rachel Maddow is brought to you by Planned Parenthood and Ed Schultz is sponsored tonight by SEIU.
>>>>Remember that Zer0’s Commie Mommie had some kind of funding connection from the Ford Foundation back in the day.
The head of the Ford Foundation used to be Peter Geithner, a friend of Obama’s mother (Ann Dunham), and the father of Tim Geithner, whom Obama appointed as Secretary of the Treasury.
I thought her name was Stanley.....
Zero teamed up with Bill Ayers to use Annenberg money to fund a communist takeover of the Chicago schools.

There were other “projects” of a similar ilk in Zero's Chicago resume.
As an unwilling union member for decades, I can promise you that they are a political arm of the Dem party, with the only question being, who runs whom?
.
Do you believe you were the only union member who wasn't a democrat? Aren't most union members US citizens and taxpayers ? I'm not pro union, but I'm an unabashed Patriot and supporter of US manufacturers and labor.
Excellent my FRiend, in that case, I recommend a Honda.
Aren't Honda headquarters in Japan? Are you Japanese or an American citizen?
