Geee Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Breitbart: 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. These five left-wing donors have contributed at least $2.7 billion since 2000 “to groups pushing abortion, gun control, climate change alarmism, and liberal candidates,” the report found. But perhaps in part because the group owns a combined 88 media outlets, they have generally benefited from acclaim from the media, who described them as “giving back” to their communities. 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. Because 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.
