Leave it to the liberal media to sing the praises of liberal billionaires’ philanthropy without providing too much detail about what their money has been funding.
Liberal outlet The Verge gave a glowing report on how liberal billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently stepped down from the board of his company in a landmark shift to focus “more on philanthropy.”
But the outlet did not list any of the philanthropic pursuits the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation has already undertaken. Perhaps that’s because some of those pursuits are potentially controversial.
Gates’s foundation gave at least $11,381,171 to the leftist “overpopulation”-focused Population Council between 2018 and 2020 alone, according to awarded grant records listed on the foundation’s website. Influence Watch noted that the Population Council was “founded in 1952 by John D. Rockefeller III to address supposed world overpopulation.”
