I'm well into David Brock's The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy yet for the time being I'll point you to something I just stumbled across today. Media Transparency's The Strategic Philanthropy of Conservative Foundations is a great look at just a brief period from 1992-1994 of 12 core conservative foundations. The level of wingnut welfare they alone provide is simply staggering. The reality that you've got "writers"and "academics" and ... promoting the free enterprise markets when they are on the dole is supremely ironic. The fact that so much of it is provided via 501(c)(3) "non profits" that in turn provide a nice tax deduction for the already rich is downright disgusting. Peace ... or War!
