The left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America is being bankrolled by some of the biggest Democratic megadonors in the country, according to a new report.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday that Media Matters, a liberal nonprofit often cited by legacy news organizations as a media watchdog, might have “mistakenly” identified some of its biggest donors in a November filing to the New Mexico attorney general’s office.

According to the filing obtained by the Free Beacon, Media Matters’ biggest donor was Deborah Simon of the shopping mall giant Simon Property Group, who gave $4 million to the nonprofit. As the Free Beacon noted, Simon had been outspoken in her pledge to defeat former President Trump ahead of the 2020 presidential election and has collectively given $53 million to various Democratic campaigns and causes since 2018.

The next highest donation to Media Matters came from the Gill Foundation, which contributed nearly $3 million, according to the form. The foundation is run by tech entrepreneur and gay rights activist Tim Gill, a major power player in Colorado Democratic politics.

Other top donors include the Stephen Silberstein Foundation, the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation and Bain Capital co-chairman Joshua Bekenstein and his wife Anita, all giving between $1.75–1.9 million, according to the Free Beacon. …

Buffett Foundation... born out of money from Berkshire Hathaway

...
“Though the Buffetts had lived separately for many years, she had also stood to inherit her husband’s fortune. Warren Buffett, second only to Bill Gates on the Forbes world wealth list, had said his Berkshire stock, valued at about $42.9 billion, would go to his wife upon his death and then to the Buffett Foundation.

The foundation’s secretary, Allen Greenberg, said Susan Buffett’s legacy will be her work as a champion of civil rights, reproductive health and AIDS awareness.

“She will be remembered by all who knew her as a quiet humanitarian whose voice spoke for disadvantaged women around the world,” he said in a statement”....

Why are so many jews democrats? Because they love power and money and have rejected Jesus. I cant believe I had to explain that.

God protects jews not because of their belief in him or because they are more pious, its because he made a promise to Abraham, God NEVER. forgets a promise.

They are JINO’s. Or actually Golden Calf worshippers. It goes back to the days of Moses. He had to deal with them as well.

During the birth of the Soviet Union, 31 of the 39 Bolshevik Central Committee members were JINO’s.

And at the present, the vast majority of these Golden Calf worshipers live in the USA.

Confiscatory inheritance taxes are looking better all the time. Widows and feckless trust funders are destroying the country with money they never earned. Take it all.

“ WHY are SO MANY JEWS DEMOCRATS????”

These aren’t Jews. These are people of the Jewish faith. Big difference between being a Jew and being Jewish. Jews are Zionists, loving the mother country, Israel.
