Bill Gates, of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation actively promote male circumcision as HIV prevention,[1] going as far as traveling to Africa to promote it.[2] Bill was convinced to promote circumcision by Bertran Auvert.[3] He teamed up with Bill Clinton to praise President George W. Bush's President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).[4][5][6]
Media funding & objectivity
According to a report in the Seattle Times, the Gates Foundation has become a force in journalism, and contributes millions of dollars to nonprofit and for-profit media to help cover issues of interest to the foundation. Not just MSNBC, but also ABC, PBS, and Public Radio, as well as others. Many worry that its growing support of media organizations blur the line between journalism and advocacy. [7]
