ProPublica or anti-Republican

February 14, 2008

The Future of News posts about a new organization funded by

Billionaires Herbert and Marion Sandler, who are major Democrat political donors and critics of President Bush…

The post’s author, Steve Boriss, wonders about the impartiality of the people making up the organization.

But arent these exactly the same people who are responsible for newspapers declining fortunes in the first place? And, isnt this the same formula that is no longer working? Isnt this the same monolithic, center-left crowd that continues to deny that the mainstream media are biased, despite the claims of a landslide two-thirds of Americans? Cant we predict with absolute certainty that in the run-up to the election, ProPublica might as well be called AntiRepublican that its so-called nonpartisan investigations will remarkably avoid Democrats, while delivering precise, last minute hits on Republicans, as we have come to expect from mainstream media?

Will this be another Soros-like propaganda machine for the liberals?

And, isn’t it convenient that it’s in place in time for the general election.
