Where does funding for Fire Dog Lake come from?

[LoZoccolo]

[21st Century FDR]

1. Probably not from the Koch Brothers

They only fund Republican organizations, like Third Way and the DLC.

[pnwmom]

2. Hamsher's consulting org takes Republican and Democratic

clients.

[Luminous Animal]

13. It's an advertising placement agency. DU takes money from Republican ads all the time.

[AlabamaLibrul]

38. But you'd be tombstoned for making a BFD out of it (DU Is REPUBLICAN FUNDED!!!), and rightly so n/t

[Renew Deal]

3. Grover Norquists tax refund

:shrug:

[DJ13]

4. Is this the meme for today?

[JoePhilly]

6. I don't see a meme, I see a question ... do you know the answer?

[aquart]

16. Go HUAC!

Sorry, but I couldn't miss the resemblance.

[Bluenorthwest]

29. Are you now or have you ever meme?

24. WSJ and Fox are far worse.

Except on DU, where those two sources are used to manufacture outrage against Obama when convenient.

FDL is kind of like Huffpo ... using the most extreme rhetoric they can to break into the WSJ and Fox News level.

Regardless, the OP asked a pretty simple question.

How is FDL funded?

Do we know? Do YOU know?

I don't.

9. Yes. Jane wrote the meme herself

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. Whole Foods' CEO

everytime you shop there.

[Vinnie From Indy]

8. You go first

[Dept of Beer]

10. I don't know. Do you?

You could ask the same thing about a good many political websites.


The important thing is where do you think it comes from?

[Bunny]

11. Jane regularly holds bake sales.

And car washes.

[SoDesuKa]

17. Car Washes

[Luminous Animal]

12. Where does funding for DU come from?

[Wait Wut]

15. Environmentally friendly...

...sexual aids.

And us. Or, is that redundant? :blush:

34. What a great response!

:applause:

[SoDesuKa]

14. Memberships

If you'd like to join Firedog Lake, you can purchase a membership at https://members.firedoglake.com/join/

This "Gosprey Circle" thing they've got going seems mighty suspicious.

Cheers!

18. The Joseph Mama Foundation nt

[SoCalDem]

19. Wherever it can, like many businesses

In a for-profit scheme, money comes from all over the place.

Even our own pols take "dirty money"..
