Some people may call it the chickens coming home to roost. Media Matters for America (MMfA), a George Soros-funded left-wing censorship group, reportedly may be on the verge of collapse. The organization is reeling after a series of lawsuits and government investigations, which are straining its already frazzled finances. (MMfA raised $19 million in 2023 — and somehow spent $20 million.)

As Breitbart informs:

Media Matters, the leftist nonprofit notorious for its scorched-earth campaigns against conservative media, is reportedly in a state of crisis, reeling from a series of lawsuits, federal investigations, mass layoffs, infighting, and donor panic. The New York Times now confirms what many on the right have suspected for months: the group’s legal and financial foundation is cracking, and its future is in jeopardy.

The collapse follows an aggressive legal response to what Elon Musk and Republican officials describe as Media Matters’ attempt to trigger a boycott of X, the social media platform owned by Musk. After the group published a report accusing X of placing major brand ads next to pro-Nazi content, Musk responded by accusing the group of manipulating data.

Maybe not justice, but a very positive effect.

Lefties are the biggest cheap skates in the world.

They WILL NOT spend their own money regardless of what they claim.

If they can't launder, rob, grift federal TAX PAYER money,

they WILL collapse.

Lefties NEVER spend their own money.

True. The left isn't a snake that we can chop the head off of. It's more like a colony of rats. This fight is going to be more like a game of whack a mole for a long time come.
