Dozens of media organizations have donated to the Clinton Foundation
George Stephanopoulos has rightfully come under fire recently for not disclosing $75,000 in donations to the Clinton Foundation over the years but it turns out, according to this story, that he is not alone when it comes to media donations to the Clinton Foundation and in fact he may be just a small player in this game.
Here is more:
NBC Universal, News Corporation, Turner Broadcasting and Thomson Reuters are among more than a dozen media organizations that have made charitable contributions to the Clinton Foundation in recent years, the foundation’s records show.
The donations, which range from the low-thousands to the millions, provide a picture of the media industry’s ties to the Clinton Foundation
The list also includes mass media groups like Comcast, Time Warner and Viacom, as well a few notable individuals, including Carlos Slim, the Mexican telecom magnate and largest shareholder of The New York Times Company, and James Murdoch, the chief operating officer of 21st Century Fox. Both Slim and Murdoch have given between $1 million to $5 million, respectively.

Somehow, it all seems very incestuous.
