NYT: Soros Donates $1 Million to Media Matters for Fight Against FOX and Glenn Beck

Billionaire financier George Soros announced today that he will officially fund the group Media Matters with a $1 million donation, aimed at fighting Fox News and Glenn Beck.
George Soros has long claimed not to be a funder of the liberal media group Media Matters for America (MMFA). That will all change today when the billionaire philanthropist donates a reported $1 million to the organization, which will use the money to hold “Fox host Glenn Beck and others on the cable news channel accountable for their reporting,” the New York Times reports.
According to a statement obtained by the Times “The Caucus” blog, MMFA is set to announce the donation later today. That statement reads in part:
Fox has transformed itself into a 24-7 G.O.P. attack machine, dividing Americans through fear-mongering and falsehoods and undermining the legitimacy of our government for partisan political ends. … We are especially pleased that in this moment of hidden right-wing billionaire money corrupting our democracy, Mr. Soros, upon deciding to support our efforts, quickly and transparently has made that support public.
In an accompanying statement obtained by the Times, Soros continues his stance that he has “not to date been a funder” of the organization, but says the donation is now necessary in order to fight Fox News and the “incendiary rhetoric” of its hosts.
Soros made a similar claim in the past regarding the liberal Jewish organization J Street. However The Washington Times recently uncovered documents revealing Soros and his family had been funding the group.
Accusations that Soros has been secretly funding Media Matters have been circulating for quite some time. As the NYT points out, in May Beck called MMFA a “left-wing George Soros-funded media machine that is now referring to me as a jihadist.” In 2007, fellow Fox host Sean Hannity called the group “Hillary Clinton’s George Soros-funded group Media Matters.”
That argument is usually based on the idea that Soros finds ways around being directly connected to funding Media Matters. Instead, critics say, he funnels his money through other organizations that turn around and donate to the group.
In 2004, National Review’s Donald Luskin explained that Soros funded MMFA through donations to the Center for American Progress. In 2007, Bill O’Reilly explained the connections on his TV show:
On its website, Media Matters denies O‘Reilly’s claims: “Soros has never given money to Media Matters, either directly or through another organization.”
Politico, however, reports today that “Media Matters has received funding from or formed partnerships with several groups that Soros funds or has funded. These include the Tides Foundation, Democracy Alliance, Moveon.org and the Center for American Progress.” It later corrected its post to absolve Moveon.org because it “has not received a donation from Soros since 2004.”
Media Matters vice president for research and communications Ari Rabin-Havt tells Politico that the organization has unsuccessfully solicited Soros’s funding wing, the Open Society Institute, for the past six years. “We’ve asked for money,” he said. “We just haven’t gotten it.”
Now that’s officially changed. Soros believes Fox and its hosts have become too dangerous and are a grave threat to “civil and informed discourse.” He explains in a more complete version of his statement, available via Politico:
“Despite repeated assertions to the contrary by various Fox News commentators, I have not to date been a funder of Media Matters,” Soros said. “However, in view of recent evidence suggesting that the incendiary rhetoric of Fox News hosts may incite violence, I have now decided to support the organization. Media Matters is one of the few groups that attempts to hold Fox News accountable for the false and misleading information they so often broadcast. I am supporting Media Matters in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy.”
Perhaps by coincidence, or in connection with the donation, Politico reports that Media Matters launched a new section of its website today specifically attacking Glenn Beck. Reflecting a recent letter by Tides Foundation CEO Drummond Pike calling on advertisers to drop Beck, the new section gives readers the chance to “sign” a petition:
The front page of Media Matters’s website advertises the petition this way:
MMFA has long billed itself as a “progressive research and information” non-profit dedicated to “correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.” But in 2007 Human Events described them as “a cog in the growing machine of ‘progressive’ activist and advocacy non-profits.”
The organization is led by David Brock, a former conservative who had his liberal coming out party in the memoir Blinded by the Right. That book was described by Christopher Hitchens as “an exercise in self-love, disguised as an exercise in self-abnegation.” Regarding Brock, Hitchens added: “I would say without any hesitation that he [Brock] is incapable of recognizing the truth, let alone of telling it.”
On his radio show this morning, Beck issued a challenge to Soros while also promising to expose the financier and poking fun at his network of organizations:
“Why talk between all of these organizations, why don’t we just talk one-on-one, George?” Beck asked. “Call me. Let’s chat.”

Posted on October 21, 2010 at 2:30amIf Soros were a communist, you‘d think he’d have stayed in a communist country. Instead he fled, as you note, and made his fortune by speculating in financial markets, that is, in the purest form of capitalism that exists. But you say he’s a Marxist. Can you quote any Marxist doctrine that he espouses? When has he ever appealed to “dialectic materialism” or called for the withering away of the state? When has he ever supported the Communist Party in any country? Run as a communist in any election?

Posted on October 20, 2010 at 9:41pmVeery interesting that Soros is coming out of the swamp and into the daylight to attack Beck personally. His propaganda machine is huge, he tosses his money to every leftwing organization and media outlet in the country and if it weren’t for Glenn Beck…no one would know about him. Seems that Soros needs to get rid of the remaining and ONLY broadcast media that hasn’t sold its soul to the socialist/comminists although attacking Beck personally seems a little too open for something of his ilk. I wonder if the man thinks he can damage Beck the way he has attempted to damage Target.
He apparently didn‘t see the rally or Beck’s ratings (up despite the boycott of advertisers). I suggest that we all get together and boycott all other MSM media outlets, let it be known to advertisers that we are boycotting these networks because of Soros’ donations and that we will boycott those advertisers who advertise on those networks. We do have the power of the purse and if we make our intentions loud and clear they’ll hear….Use their own tactics against them, read the rules for radicals and apply it to defeating these hypocrites and this megalomaniac Soros and his chief puppet Obama

Not many people know anything about the “45 Communist Goals for America” so its a treat whenever I run into someone that does.

Posted on October 20, 2010 at 4:25pmSoros can never go on the show. In his mind, it would lend too much credibility to the “incendiary rhetoric of Fox News hosts {who} may incite violence.” You know, the kind of “credibility” that doesn’t prove such violence exists, but rather uses smears to create public opinion. Which explains why he is giving his money to “Media Mad’ers.”

Dear Fox Advertiser:
I COMPLETELY DISAGREE with the Tides Foundation CEO Drummond Pike because “We the People” are AWAKE thanks specifically to Fox News and Glenn Beck to the agenda and INDOCTRINATION of their Progressive/Fabian assault that is crippling our great country.
Praise God that businesses like yours pay to broadcast commercials on Fox!!! I respectfully request that you not only continue to support GB and Fox News, but you investigate if your company has any advertising ties what so ever to The Tides Foundation, George Soros, and other groups that are intent in destroying our great country.
Signed,

Posted on October 20, 2010 at 11:33pmThank God for Glenn Beck. He has opened many peoples eyes to the radicals in our Government ,and has kept us up to date on the dirty tricks the left is using to turn us into a Socialistic country. I recall how patriotic the country was when we were fighting WW2 , and the joy when the war was over and my neighbors and relatives returned. What a wonderful feeling it was to see and experience. . During the war,I was in fourth grade, and was so proud of America and I still am. Glenn has awakened the spirit that lies within those who love America and we have to work to keep that spirit alive, and free from the Soros types. The president has shown us how he wants to change us, by calling a Great document, The Constitution of the United States outdated. I gather his oath to defend and protect, the USA and its Constitution, was as dishonest as some of his recent words and actions. 2012 can’t get here fast enough for America! God Bless America !

Posted on October 21, 2010 at 12:32pmDear Fox New Advertiser,
I agree with Fox News Host Glenn Beck.
Businesses that pay to broadcast commercials on Fox News are
subsidizing the free speech that our country was founded on. It has
become clear that billionaire fat cat George Soros and the groups he
subsidizes will stop at nothing to silence opposing points of view from
the only news source that truly provides one, Fox News.
I respectfully commend you and your fellow directors on your company’s
patriotic sponsorship of Free Speech, I and many other Fox News watching
American Patriots feel the right to speak freely one of the most important
foundations, if not a cornerstone of the American way. I believe all responsible
businesses should sponsor and promote any Free Speech, like that of Fox News.
If not, their own company may one day be subjected to being silenced on their
own views, or the views expressed in their advertisements.
We all must stand for our right of Free Speech, or we will surely fall.
Thank You for your support and advertising on Fox News,
