Media Matters, a left-wing media watchdog, is reportedly facing an existential crisis as it drowns in government investigations, legal expenses from a defamation case and loss of donors, according to The New York Times.
Media Matters’s future looks so dire since layoffs were reported in May that some involved with the organization have contemplated declaring bankruptcy or shutting down entirely in recent months, the NYT reported Friday, citing internal documents and 11 sources familiar with the situation. The Democrat-aligned group purports to monitor and combat “conservative misinformation in the U.S. media” and is under investigation by the Trump administration’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over allegations that it illegally colluded with advertisers to stifle conservative viewpoints.
The group, which has taken money from left-wing philanthropists such as George Soros, is reportedly bleeding donors and funders who fear some form of retaliation as it increasingly comes under fire, The New York Times reported. Media Matters also lost around $2 million fending off investigations by Republican state attorneys general over claims that it manipulated data to smear Elon Musk’s X, according to the outlet.

Rumor has it that they are going to sell it to Al Franken. Either Al, or Al Jazeera.
Couldn’t happen to people so deserving of that fate.

“Make no mistake we the American tax payers were funding these parasitic rat infested utopian propaganda machines.”
I remember during one of CNN’s particularly awful and nasty tirades against Trump, people here were talking about how they had to do this or that for the ratings. I knew that ratings didn’t mean squat. They didn’t have any. The state department, the CIA, or some other government entity was using tax money to fund them. If only someone could get to the bottom of it.
Turned out to be USAID. Well done, Donald.
BINGO.
Southern Poverty Law Center is next. /spit
I guess they don’t like being the bullied after so many years of being the bully.
