The Charleston Gazette
reports this morning that the National Legal and Policy Center has received more than a million from Scaife & Scaife-related foundations over the last decade.
A Pittsburgh-area family that frequently funds conservative organizations has mostly funded a group accusing a West Virginia congressman of creating a nonprofit group for his own political gain.
The National Legal and Policy Center, founded in 1991 and based in Falls Church, Va., has received millions since 1995 from three Scaife family foundations, according to Media Transparency, a Web site that researches conservative organizations.
The center turned over to the Justice Department a more than 500-page report on Rep. Alan Mollohan, D-W.Va., and his relationship with the Vandalia Heritage Foundation. The center has refused to release the report publicly, saying some items it contains may not be accurate.
Yes, that's right. You've just been exposed to real journalism. Satisfying, wasn't it?
