your logic fails but is a perfect example of bubble bias. you are in a far left echo chamber and you do not realize how left and almost pre fascists your views are. Which is a shame because you a very good writer.
pro publica was incredibly slanted when defending the IRS's tactics against conservatives.
It is not surprising considering how they are funded.
You may not see the bias because like many other leftists you think you are in the middle although only a small percentage of the country is as far left as you.
here is more background on the founders... (note I only knew this upon doing the search a few days ago and this was not supposed to be some sort of assassination... but you seem to act like soros and his money or not leftist whereas I have learned never trust anything soros says or funds. He is as untrustworthy as bill clinton on nekid island.)
"Meanwhile, Sandler is Chairman of the board of ProPublica, a non-profit organization producing original, investigative content to be shared with some of the grandest media platforms in the business. Since its founding in 2007, Sandler marked his support by pledging an initial donation of $10 million with similar continuing annual contributions to the organization. The issue, many argue, is that Sandler also happens to be a key supporter and financial donor to several George Soros-initiatives, including Media Matters — a group that has consistently come under fire for seeking to silence the very free-press ProPublica claims to stand for.
Needless to say, since its inception, many moderate and conservative voices have
expressed skepticism over ProPublica in light of the ideological bend of its founding-father. An editorial in Investor’s Business Daily asked if “a couple of left-wing billionaires” could “really be sincere about creating a ‘nonpartisan,’ ‘non-ideological’ center for investigative reporting.”
The article went on to ask if the pair was just “paying more to drive the media agenda further left” given the Sandlers’ penchant for funding “leftist causes and the Democratic Party.” The couple have garnered their place in the top tier of donors, giving MoveOn.org $2.5 million in 2004 alone. That was reportedly as much money as their “philanthropic ally” George Soros contributed to the organization personally.
Through their charity, the
Sandler Family Supporting Foundation, it has
also been reported the couple
gave at least $5,723,222 to the ACORN network — the disgraced and now defunct community organizing group made infamous for registering the deceased to “vote Democrat” in the 2008 election. The Sandler’s charity gave $4,498,222 to the American Institute for Social Justice since 2003, $700,000 to Project Vote in 2005 and $525,000 to ACORN 2000–2001 according to
Activist Cash. This of course excludes any personal contributions made by either Marion or Herbert.
The Sandlers have also made substantial contributions to the
Center for Responsible Lending, an ACORNally that champions the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The Sandler foundation has given the Center at least $11,200,000 since 2005.
Activist Cash describes the Center for Responsible Lending as a: “‘consumer advocacy’ front-group that lobbied for expanded subprime lending while promoting its funders’ business interests.”
The Blaze also obtained copies of The Sandler Foundation’s 990 tax returns dating back to 2005 and the list of liberal organizations and leftist causes to which the foundation contributes are vast. From the
Center for American Progress to the
ACLU, far-left J-Street to Soros’
Tides Foundation and Media Matters, below are a
mere fraction of the Sandler Foundation’s contributions in 2009 alone:
