Wikipedia Got $2 Million From Tides That Reinforced Its Sharp Turn To The Political Left
In 2010, Tides granted $2 million to Wikimedia Foundation, the fundraiser and manager of Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. The “General Support” grant was a blank check to encourage years of left-wing Wikipedia editing and administration to concentrate on sabotaging libertarian and conservative entries. This grant encouraged the corruption of the Wikimedia Foundation’s motto, “Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That’s our commitment.” In controversial entries, that commitment is not being lived up to and is misleading donors about the nature of their product.
The Foundation, which is the funding source and manager of the Wikipedia, freely allows leftist editors to hijack the Wikipedia profiles of libertarian and conservative organizations with libelous statements and to censor any libertarian or conservative views on controversial issues such as climate change and education. The Foundation’s executive director Lila Tretikov and board members are doing nothing to check hostile Wikipedia editors who engage in editing wars between free-speech and ideology-only editors.
Media Matters Receives Funding Before It Even Exists
The Daily Caller launched an investigation into Media Matters for America, revealing a laundry list of progressive-focused donors that included the Tides Foundation ($4,384,702), George Soros’ Open Society Institutes ($1,075,000), the Ford Foundation ($966,466), and the Sandler Foundation ($400,000). The Caller revealed that more than $28.8 million in funding for Media Matters was collected before its formal incorporation in 2003 – a full 54% of every dollar the organization has raised in its history.
Tides Foundation retains its separate identity in this complex, with a new leader,
Chairman of the Board of Directors Joanie Bronfman,
Seagram whiskey heiress whose PhD dissertation at Brandeis University investigated the psychoses of the rich. Tides Foundation is recognized as the ancestor and anchor of all the rest, although a central command organization, Tides Network assumed executive power over all the growing Tides entities on August 8, 2005. Tides Network provides “executive and financial leadership and coordination, strategic leadership direction, fundraising, administration, management, planning and coordination of mission communications, administration of human resources and office administration for all related Tides entities and other nonprofit organizations.”
