Leftist Ford Foundation Cuts WaPo $500K Check (July 30, 2012)
Breitbart.com, Big Journalism ^ | Ben Shapiro

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.”

I wouldn't buy a GM, Chrysler, or Ford if you paid me.

The Ford Foundation was taken over by Leftists decades ago.

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!

For what it's worth...the Ford Foundation is completely autonomous from the Ford Motor 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.

The Ford Foundation has zero to do with the Ford Motor Company

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.

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.

Ford Motor Company is a haven for UAW thugs and criminals. Abundant reason to boycott their asses without using the Ford Foundation for a reason.
