== 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.<ref>{{cite newsREFnews | first last= SandiDoughton | last first= DoughtonSandi | coauthors = Kristi Heim | title = Does Gates funding of media taint objectivity? | date = 2011-02-19 | url = http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2014280379_gatesmedia.html | work title= The Seattle TimesDoes Gates funding of media taint objectivity? | accessdate date= 2011-02-2219 | publisher=The Seattle Times | quote = Better-known for its battles against global disease, the Gates Foundation has also become a force in journalism.
