(The other, Laura Poitras, also works at The Intercept.)Īccording to the outlet’s own website, The Intercept’s “short-term mission is to provide a platform to report on the documents previously provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.”Īccording to Greenwald, The Intercept launched earlier than originally planned due to an “obligation to the NSA documents to have a place to report them.”īesides reporting on the Snowden documents, The Intercept promised to “move forward with what we believe is essential reporting in the public interest.”īecause of his connection to Snowden, Greenwald’s romantic partner, David Miranda, was temporarily held at London’s Heathrow airport in August 2013 under the U.K.’s Terrorism Act 2000. Greenwald was one of two journalists entrusted by Edward Snowden with the leaked NSA documents. That was the only news-oriented part of the website up and running at the time of this report. Greenwald’s liberal rants now have a prominent place at The Intercept, First Look’s online magazine. ![]() Omidyar staffed First Look with career liberal journalists from other outlets, including The Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald and Slate’s Matt Taibbi. He used $250 million of his own money and created the news start-up First Look Media. Media Outlets: First Look Media, Center for Public Integrity, Center for Responsive Politics, Sunlight FoundationĮBay founder and chairman Pierre Omidyar took the idea of funding the liberal media one step further when he built a media powerhouse all of his own.

The report studied five “clones” of famous liberal donor George Soros: former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, hedge fund manager Tom Steyer, and Soros’ own son Jonathan Soros.īecause of their massive wealth, MRC–a conservative group that works to expose liberal bias in media–says they have been able to shape and influence public policy and popular opinion with little scrutiny from the press. Hardly a day goes by without the media raising questions about the influence of powerful GOP megadonors, but five liberal billionaires have been pouring money into politics in recent years with nary a peep from the Fourth Estate, according to new report from the Media Research Center’s Business and Media Institute and provided exclusively to Breitbart News. Let’s look at more clones from a publication last August and a report by the MRC and was reported by Matthew Boyle at Breitbart: While Berkshire has grown to be the third-largest company on the US stock market, its quarterly filings reveal far less detail than companies of a similar size, according to the analysts, who all urged Mr Buffett to consider expanding disclosures, particularly about Berkshire’s large insurance businesses.

Of course one of the leaders was Tom Steyer, a new name to most Americans who almost gave out famed right donors, the Adelsons. ![]() It is the very billionaires who decried the 2010 Citizens United case who are now “taking advantage of the Supreme Court’s ruling,” writes the group. ![]() Liberal billionaires are leaving conservatives in the dust when it comes to Super PAC spending during the 2014 election cycle, according to an analysis by the Sunlight Foundation. Editor’s Note – We all know about Senator Harry Reid’s rants about the Koch Brothers and other big funding sources of Republicans, and we have all heard about the “Spooky Dude” George Soros and all his funding on the left.īut one thing is clear, not all sides are even remotely transparent on where the money comes from – ask the press, they can and do tell the world about the right, but few talk at all about the left until the left decided to take advantage of the “Citizens United” court decision, and we saw it in 2014’s elections. ![]()
