Soros Buddy Funds HuffPo “Investigative Journalism” Fund

By Matthew Vadum on 3.31.09 @ 8:20PM

Arianna Huffington (L) with Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans (R)

Internet gossip Arianna Huffington announced that her left-wing gossip website, the Huffington Post, is launching the Huffington Post Investigative Fund. She said on her site that

This nonprofit Fund will produce a wide-range of investigative journalism created by both staff reporters and freelance writers.

As the newspaper industry continues to contract, one of the most commonly voiced fears is that serious investigative journalism will be among the victims of the scaleback. And, indeed, many newspapers are drastically reducing their investigative teams. Yet, given the multiple crises we are living through, investigative journalism is all the more important. As a result, all who recognize the indispensable role good journalism plays in our democracy are looking for ways to preserve it during this transitional period for the media. For too long, whether it’s coverage of the war in Iraq or the economic meltdown, we’ve had too many autopsies and not enough biopsies. The HuffFund is our attempt to change this. It will also provide new opportunities for seasoned journalists who have been laid off or forced into early retirement. […]

The program’s startup budget will be $1.75 million. The money will be provided by the Huffington Post and the Atlantic Philanthropies. The Bermuda-based Atlantic Philanthropies is headed by Gara LaMarche, who used to be a vice president of liberal uber-philanthropist George Soros’s Open Society Institute. LaMarche is a member of Soros’s Democracy Alliance, a billionaires’ club that is organizing to impose socialism on America.

Will the new program fund anything other than left-wing hit pieces? Your guess is as good as mine.

It's going to be all Obama propaganda all the time. Have you ever read anything on HuffPo that wasn't BS?

KevinKevlar| 3.31.09 @ 10:28PM

I hate CODE PINK. Anti-American scum.

JHarpIsATroll| 4.1.09 @ 12:07AM

Huffington has no journalistic standards. HuffPo is a rag of the worst sort. Always sensationalized crap and almost always pro-liberal. They're always taking liberals at their word but challenging conservatives to prove everything to the endth degree.

The HuffPo Investigation Group can start with the New York Times' cover-up of the Obama-Acorn fundraising link during the 2008 campaign.

So????
Who is funding all of the right wing on-line journals and think tanks?
And, what about the first amendment?
A plague on the extreme right and the extreme left.
Long live the sensible center.

JHarpIsATroll| 4.1.09 @ 10:07AM

Mike, you are an idiot. The First Amendment relates to governmental action. You are such a bad writer it is not even clear what you are bitching about above.

Why hasn’t media done more investigative journalism regarding the epidemic of misdiagnosing children with autism and aspergers? Autism Spectrum Disorder is a total joke, it lumps all levels of autism together in one big happy family…it’s absurd and unethical and well, just plain stupid. American Psychiatric Association should be ashamed of themselves for being so obtuse regarding what autism is and what it is not..do these clowns realize that thousands of kids with ADHD, Bi-Polar, OCD,ODD, MPD and things like Fragile X and Hyperlexia are ALL being mislabeled "autistic" in these children? This had gone wayyyyyyy tooooo far people Government wants to label all these kids autistic...WHY? You tube has a video titled: autism spectrum seems out of control where a mom talks about this from her standpoint of being a mom with a severly autstic kid

Martink23| 2.16.10 @ 11:25PM

$1.75 million is one heck of an investment into a investigative journalism site. It will be interesting to watch as it unfolds and see if that money is well spent over time or not. Investigative journalism always is going to bring both good and bad publicity.Reg Cure

Scalp Care Tips for Men
There's no such thing as healthy hair. hair is basically protein and has no nervous system or blood supply and, as such, does not have reparative properties. The scalp, on the other hand, does. Since your hair is an extension of the scalp, it makes sense that a healthy scalp helps ensure healthy looking hair. For keeping that scalp healthy, follow these quick and easy scalp care tips.

Aspergers4lfautism| 2.28.10 @ 10:42PM

It’s funny I was just talking to my brother Alan about this site and now his friend found it too randomly! I love showing other people cool sites like this one where you can get a online accredited high school diploma , learn about other stuff and even practice for the GED test all on one website.

Lindsay | 1.28.11 @ 1:34PM

The problem with any investigative journalism is that they inevitably have to choose what to target, and only choose to target institutions they distrust.

Lindsay | 2.2.11 @ 5:42PM

Just to clarify - the ability to select what institutions to target is selection bias. It's like only ordering search warrants against your political enemies.
