MediaTransparency

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MediaTransparency is a left-wing project begun in 1999 which monitors the financial ties of conservative think tanks to conservative foundations in the United States. Its database tracks over 50,000 grants awarded since 1985, which total more than $3.2 billion USD. It is run by Cursor, Inc. The slogan on their web page is "The Money behind Conservative Media."

They are dedicated to "news, opinion, analysis and investigative data related to links between conservative philanthropies and the organizations and people they fund, and their influence in the media."[1]

According to the right-wing World Journalism Institute, and used as a quote by the parent organization Cursor, Inc., to describe MediaTransparency, "MediaTransparency is a left-wing survey of conservative activity. It is valuable for conservative networking and comprehension of the far-left perspective of conservative free speech." [2]

Cursor.org has not received an Ideological Spectrum Rating from the right-wing Capital Research Center[3]
