“A new Tow Center analysis of campaign finance records and nonprofit filings reveals four political action committees and four nonprofit organizations paid a network of
partisan pay-for-play news sites controlled by Metric Media over $14 million in 2021-2022. The investigation demonstrates millions more flowing to partisan ‘pink slime’ news sites than previously reported. The payments can be traced to organizations tied to conservative megadonors, including shipping magnate Richard Uihlein, billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel, and oil and gas billionaire Tim Dunn.”
