"The Seattle Times received a $15,000 Gates grant through Seattle University for a series of stories on homelessness in 2010," said an article we mentioned early in the year. The source of this article is the Seattle Times itself. Moreover, says a critic/watcher of the Gates Foundation:
Read the original article to see the graphics and sidebars, including one about Gates Foundation funding of the Seattle Times.
"Gates funds public television and radio channels, even the BBC, which is already paid for by British taxpayers."As for what we cannot confirm months after the report, well... the Seattle Times has been engaged in some kind of an SEO campaign to perform reputation laundering for the Gates Foundation, but this is nothing new. And the author of their Gates 'fan blog', Heim, lost her job after publishing the critical report above. Maybe she just didn't play strictly by Gates' rules anymore (despite being a huge fan and booster for Gates' agenda for years prior to this report).
The "Gates Foundation controls media through massive journalism grants" is one of the many headlines resulting from her piece that she wrote while still at the Seattle Times. It is a serious issue that nobody should ignore. We have seen many such examples before. Gates funds public television and radio channels, even the BBC, which is already paid for by British taxpayers. If he polices the press, then he can do almost anything he wish while portraying those who offer dissenting opinions as 'out of line' wrt the press he buys and controls. ⬆
