Charitable organization?

John Gibson has a piece about Media Matters, the 501(c)3 charity, that's been sliming every conservative media member.

Excerpt

I have said before that Media Matters was started with help from Hillary Clinton and took George Soros' money.

ANOTHER group with Hillary Clinton connections violating its 501(c)(3) tax exempt status?

Put this story together with your blog entry on Media Matters, and we can really get something going. As a CPA, you may find the MMM's Form 990 tax return (excerpts in the document above, whole thing available from Guidestar.org) quite fascinating and entertaining in light of its activities in 2000.
