DonorsTrust

A big winner of last year's conservative cash bonanza? Right-wing "journalism."

Quote:
DonorsTrust is the conservative movement's little-known but hugely influential cash machine, a conduit for millions of dollars in anonymous donations to anti-union legal shops, climate change deniers, pro-life advocates, libertarian think tanks, media watchdog groups, and a panoply of other right-leaning causes. Wealthy conservatives use DonorsTrust as a surefire way to invest their money, fingerprint-free, with the assurance it will end up in the right hands. According to new tax filings obtained by Mother Jones, DonorsTrust is growing increasingly popular among the bankrollers of the conservative movement.

Do you have anything from a slightly more... unbiased source? If Mother Jones is all you have, then you might as well just not post. You can't trust anything they say unless it's been verified via an independent source, and if you can do that, why would you not just use the independent source, instead of Mother Jones?

I guess one would have to assume that liberals don't have such an arrangement in order to find this surprising or upsetting. Why would liberals think that their ideological concerns aren't funded in a similar manner?

The way I read it, it's called "lobbying"....not exactly a new profession here in DC.

Let's see a Right-Wing source expose it. Remember, when shills compete you win.

the left complains about the tactics the right uses, but they are just showing off their hypocrisy because the left uses the exact same tactics. nothing to see here, go about your business, move along.
