Media Coverage of This Year's Netroots Nation Consisted Overwhelmingly...

Nothing against those worthy publications, but the fact is there is effectively no Liberal media in this country. 

Which means there is (almost) no institutional pushback against the Right's massive propaganda operation, and its enablers in the craven Both Siderist Beltway media.

An Unusual $1.6 Billion Donation Bolsters Conservatives

A low-profile Republican financier donated his company to a new group run by the influential operative Leonard A. Leo.

A new conservative nonprofit group scored a $1.6 billion windfall last year via a little-known donor — an extraordinary sum that could give Republicans and their causes a huge financial boost ahead of the midterms, and for years to come.

The source of the money was Barre Seid, an electronics manufacturing mogul, and the donation is among the largest — if not the largest — single contributions ever made to a politically focused nonprofit. The beneficiary is a new political group controlled by Leonard A. Leo, an activist who has used his connections to Republican donors and politicians to help engineer the conservative dominance of the Supreme Court and to finance battles over abortion rights, voting rules and climate change policy.

This windfall will help cement Mr. Leo’s status as a kingmaker in conservative big money politics. It could also give conservatives an advantage in a type of difficult-to-trace spending that shapes elections and political fights...

Media platforms large and small come into existence either to meet a market need, or to advance the interests of an owner who may  or may not care if the enterprise turns a profit.  But there is always a patron, whether it's the general public, or it's an individual or organization like George Harrison, who set up HandMade Films to help fund "Monty Python's Life of Brian" because he "wanted to see the movie".
