Why are We Taxpayers Spending $364 Million to Fund a Liberal Journalism Group?

Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars have be paid to a liberal journalism group, and the agencies responsible don’t seem to want to talk about it. But some in Congress aren’t afraid of the issue. Rep Lamar Smith, R-Texas, addressed the issue on the floor of the House of Representatives on Jan. 13, asking his fellow members of Congress why taxpayers were “subsidizing a liberal news outlet.” 
Internews is a liberal journalism nonprofit that has gotten more than $364 million from the U.S. government in the past 10 years, as well as $1.7 million from liberal billionaire George Soros. It has also founded three liberal journalism outfits: Link TV, the Earth Journalism Network and Climate Commons.

"Why are we taxpayers spending $364 million to fund a liberal journalism group?"

For the same reason that we taxpayers have been giving away the public airwaves scot-free to liberal propagandists for the last 100 years.

Our Dem-RINO "public servants" in Washington have created a government of the crony capitalists, by the crony capitalists, for the crony capitalists.

The king of the crony capitalists is the State Run Media.
