"Gee thanks George. We spent the last check on party favors for Barney's going away party"

Media Matters, the liberal activist group that wages a rhetorical war against Fox News Channel and others in the conservative press, will announce on Wednesday the receipt of a $1 million donation from the philanthropist George Soros.
In a statement obtained by The Caucus, the organization says it plans to use the money to intensify its efforts to hold the Fox host Glenn Beck and others on the cable news channel accountable for their reporting.
“Fox has transformed itself into a 24-7 G.O.P. attack machine, dividing Americans through fear-mongering and falsehoods and undermining the legitimacy of our government for partisan political ends,” the group will say in the statement, to be released Wednesday afternoon.
In an accompanying statement, Mr. Soros, a billionaire who has a history of supporting liberal politicians and causes, accused Fox News hosts of “incendiary rhetoric” and said he hoped that his money would be used “in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy.”
For years, conservatives have accused Media Matters of being a front organization for Mr. Soros. In May, Mr. Beck referred to Media Matters as “the left-wing George Soros-funded media machine that is now referring to me as a jihadist.” In 2007, Fox’s Sean Hannity called it “Hillary Clinton’s George Soros-funded group Media Matters.”
Officials at Media Matters regularly deny that they have ever taken money from Mr. Soros, who repeats that denial in Wednesday’s statement, saying, “I have not to date been a funder” of the liberal organization. Now, he will officially be a donor, and likely a fresh target for criticism from the right.

May the “Rich” Liberals (who claim to hate the RICH), spend all their money on such projects and we shall ignore all said propaganda and therefor let their money be wasted on the empty headed who already believe their crap.

Stay away from Media Matters unless you want you puter to come down with a virus.
Yesterday someone said they thought Soros could be the antichrist...maybe they are right.
Pouring money down a rat-hole.
Spooky Dude has a very thin skin.
He exposed Soros's history of currency manipulation and Anti-American agenda. Massive funding of Tides foundation and other leftists groups.
Glenn questions if he is now targeting the dollar.
Soros hates sunlight.
I challenge these a-holes to cite ONE example of a falsehood. Just one.

In an accompanying statement, Mr. Soros, a billionaire who has a history of supporting liberal politicians and causes,
They are not "liberal" causes by any stretch. They are LEFTIST causes. Liberal means wide open acceptance, regardless of personal responsibility. Leftism means government led authoritarian imposition of an agenda, which of course is George Soros' MO.
The New York Times, and its writers, are truly stupid bigots. They can't even tell the difference between liberal and leftist.
We will say that Rush Limbaugh also often uses this incorrectly. Glen Beck does not.

Well, the plus side is that most of it will go into the salaries and expense accounts of a bunch of stupid jerks.
I’ll be their perks include coverage for medical marijuana, AIDS treatment, transgender operations, and abortions. That stuff can be expensive.
Media Matters & George Soros = a marriage made in the sewers of the Democrat cesspool party

So, what you’re saying is that if you ‘visit’ them, you’ll come down with the computer equivalent of what you’d get when patronizing a skanked-up, two dollar whore?
Yeah, my puter guy after analyizing my poor puter, told me to stay away. All”s well for now.
Thank Heavens you don’t have to take Tetracyaline for some sort of NSU (non specific utheritis).....been there, done that in my very younger days in Asia....
