Mr. Rice told Dom G. that the allegations about PT being funded by the Tides Foundation/Heinz are totally false.

He said that the Tides Foundation only is an 'umbrella' for PT to take donations. They are using the Tides non-profit status AND that their books are out there for anyone to see............

......

Dom G didn't seem to be buying that. Then, when Mr. Rice got off of the phone, he gave Dom's producer a piece of his mind for what he saw as an ambush.

FWIW, I was not able to run down PT's financial information anywhere. Probably because they run under the umbrella of Tides.

Anyway, this should be easy enough to dig into. Where to start? Mr. Rice was very angry that he was being questioned, and he denied all ties to Tides and Heinz. How can he have it both ways???

He can't have it both ways. He is lying.

As the NY Post editorial on this says, "Money is fungible."

This is especially the case where a fund is set up specifically to take advantage of this fungibility.

If they're going to try to hide their donations to certain dubious organizations under this umbrella, they have no right to complain when they get tied to all the dubious organization under this umbrella.
