The leftist attack dog Media Matters appears to have just accidentally exposed their list of donors.
According to the Daily Caller:
Media Matters is not legally mandated to publicly reveal its donors because of its status as a 501(c)(3) charity organization and the documents state they are “Not Open to Public Inspection.” However, the left-wing organization appears to have unintentionally released its top five donors of 2022 in a November public filing to the New Mexico Office of the Attorney General.
Among the donors revealed include:
- Indiana shopping-mall tycoon Deborah Simon: $4 million given to Media Matters
- Bain Capital co-founder Josh Bekenstein and wife, $1.75 million
- The Gill Foundation, $3 million
- Stephen Silberstein Foundation, $2 million
- Warren Buffet’s Susan Thompson Buffet Foundation, $1.7 million
- “The usual suspects,” such as George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, Arabella Advisors, and Ford Foundation
Media Matters is currently being sued by Elon Musk for targeting his advertisers while relying on a bogus ads report they created. Musk later told the advertisers who fled to “go f— themselves.”
Texas AG Ken Paxton also opened an investigation into Media Matters for “potentially fraudulent activity,” as did Missouri AG Andrew Bailey.
