They seem to be scurrying around like cockroaches when the light is turned on.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Caller has the <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2012\/08\/09\/interview-request-to-ohio-mayor-sets-off-alarms-for-bloomberg-media-matters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">details<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Two days before Media Trackers Ohio requested an interview with Coleman, Bloomberg staffer Christopher Kocher emailed a story by a Florida blogger to Glaze, Roberts and several other MAIG regional coordinators. Kocher warned MAIG leaders that Sean Caranna, the president of Florida Carry Inc. \u2014 a pro-Second Amendment organization \u2014 had published a story criticizing Orlando MAIG coordinator Linda Vaughn.<\/p>\n<p>Caranna found that a grant from the left-wing Joyce Foundation \u2014 which is managed by Bloomberg\u2019s office \u2014 was insufficient to cover Vaughn\u2019s salary. He reported that MAIG was leveraging taxpayer funds to reduce its overhead costs, by installing MAIG lobbyists in mayors\u2019 offices nationwide \u2014 effectively using public dollars to lobby for gun control.<\/p>\n<p>Kocher preceded Caranna\u2019s story with a note instructing MAIG coordinators: \u201cif anyone contacts you about the article or if anything like this has come up previously for you, please let us know.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nWhat I find most interesting about this story is the interconnections between MAIG, Bloomberg&#8217;s office, MAIG Executive Director Mark Glaze, and Media Matters for America. When you add in the known connections between the White House and Media Matters, these linkages between the so-called progressive groups gets very interesting. If one was an expert in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Social_network_analysis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social network analysis<\/a>, I&#8217;m sure he or she would have a heyday mapping all these linkages.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks like blogger Sean Caranna of All Nine Yards and Florida Carry has struck a nerve with Mayor&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1454,2636,2544,3682],"class_list":["post-3060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-maig","tag-mark-glaze","tag-media-matters","tag-sean-caranna"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3060"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8254,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3060\/revisions\/8254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
