Tax exempt status plus the mentioned tax deductable donation situation would essentially make them 'Rat political donation tools. You wouldn't have to donate directly to any given 'Rat for their election and the donation wouldn't fall under reporting requirements but the 'Rat candidate local the the donation receiver would receive a lot of "favorable political reporting".

'Course, I might be swayed if the legislation included the same status for 2nd Amendment rights organizations...

Exactly. Political donations are not deductible but unlimited contributions to newspapers would be deductible and conceivably turn the paper into a 7 day political advertisement for the donor's political inclinations. We must fight against this. :-(
