Finally, a win for Media Matters for America! I know, I know, you've been waiting for this...

The Daily Caller released a list of MMfA donors, and not surprising at all was the massive contribution from pot-stirrer extraordinaire George Soros. What is likely to raise eyebrows is the over $100k donated by Goldman Sachs. Yeah, you heard right. Media Matters for America is taking money from a Wall Street firm while they continue to carry water for the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Don't get me wrong, I personally dont care who MMfA takes money from. We live in a capitalist nation, and it's very capitalist of them to take money from anyone willing to give it. My problem is that it makes their message disingenuous. By supporting the OWS movement, which claims that capitalism is the root of all evil, they are effectively saying that capitalism is ok for MMfA, but when other people do it, it's the epitome of greed.

Nice.
