In response to a series of incriminating under-cover videos from The Center for Medical Progress about the major abortion provider, organizations have been cutting ties -- or denying ties -- to Planned Parenthood. But where nonprofits are concerned, tax records keep the story straight.

julia.seymour — Tue, 12 May 2015 16:20:40 +0000

Left’s new ‘Contract with America’ is backed by at least $159 Million from George Soros.

Alatheia Larsen

In an effort to revitalize and unify the far-left Democratic party, progressives have relied on the very thing they often criticize -- the deep pockets of a billionaire supporter. Agenda supporters were linked to at least $159 million dollars in donations or political contributions from wealthy backer George Soros.

Many of those self-proclaimed progressives will gather on the steps of the U.S. Capitol May 12 at 3 p.m. to celebrate a new, far-left “Progressive Agenda.”

Three progressive groups merge into the State Innovative Exchange.

Mike Ciandella

Three liberal groups, with a combined total of $9.2 million in seed money from George Soros, have joined forces to create one super-network liberals hope will funnel money into different left-wing, grassroots political campaigns. These investments will finance democrat messaging through robocalls, pesky mailers, and meager hourly wages for clipboard wielding ideologues.

Mike Ciandella

Liberal groups attacking Fox News host Bill O’Reilly about his past reporting got more than $15 million from left-wing billionaire George Soros.

Debate Over a Dress Color Gets 3X More Network Attention Than ‘Net Neutrality’ Ruling

julia.seymour — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 17:33:21 +0000

Morning news shows especially obsess over Twitter’s “great dress debate” rather than explain FCC Internet regulations.

Joseph Rossell

The latest social media phenomenon to “break the Internet” was more important to the broadcast news networks than the federal decision to regulate the Internet which could cost taxpayers billions of dollars.

FCC Passes Regulations Enabling Government to ‘Micromanage’ Internet

Deep pockets of left-wing foundations helped finance activism on ‘net neutrality.’

Joseph Rossell

The FCC is from the government and they’re here to help with your internet.

Invoking the agency’s Title II authority, commissioners of the FCC passed a plan to regulate Internet service providers (ISPs) like public utilities on Feb. 26. This decision surely pleased the left-wing Ford Foundation and Open Society Foundation which gave groups calling for government Internet regulation millions of dollars.

Joseph Rossell

The government could gain unprecedented control over the Internet, depending on the decision made this week by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It is a move long supported by top liberal foundations to the tune of at least $196 million.

Liberal billionaire funds groups trying to get potential presidential candidates recalled, indicted.

Mike Ciandella

The media should be reporting on this, but they consistently ignore it.

Legal battles against state governor’s with higher political aspirations keep cropping up. But looking deeper into attacks on Republican governors from Texas, Wisconsin and Louisiana reveals George Soros’ checkbook was behind it all – but the news media aren’t about to point that out.

Networks ignore Soros connection, hype indictment charge.

Mike Ciandella

Update, August 19: On ABC “World News with Diane Sawyer” on Aug. 18, Senior National Correspondent Jim Avila included a soundbite from Texans for Public Justice Director Craig McDonald in his story. McDonald was merely introduced as a “critic,” with no ideological label, and Avila never verbally said the name of his group. The Soros connection and the group’s involvement in Perry’s indictment charges were not addressed.

$12 Million Buys Soros, Steyer White House Meeting; Media Ignore

mike.ciandella — Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:56:38 +0000

Networks complain about conservative donor influence in politics, ignore blatant liberal donor connection.

Mike Ciandella

Money may not buy happiness, but it certainly buys access. Liberal billionaires George Soros and Tom Steyer met with John Podesta, the counselor to the president, to advise him on environmental policy.

Both Soros and Steyer have donated millions to the Center for American Progress, a liberal group Podesta founded and led until December 2013. Steyer has given $3,850,000 to CAP since 2008, while Soros more than doubled that at $8,067,186.
