	The Media Fund Nov. 4, 2004 Press Release
		The highlight of TMF’s fall program was an unprecedented $6m advertising campaign targeting African-American voters between the ages of 18 and 35 that proved to be instrumental to reaching out to a demographic that has proven to be increasingly disillusioned by politics.
		TMF’s goal was to create media that articulates Democratic values and messages while being nimble enough to engage rapid-response political messaging, where 24-hour turnaround may be critical.
		To accomplish that, TMF successfully took the best aspects from both the commercial and the political advertising industry to fuse creative talent from Madison Avenue agencies with political experts who are experienced in political messaging.

	Washingtonpost.com: Campaign Finance Special Report
		The agenda for the November 21 meeting suggested that the amount of funding for the media campaign and how to raise it was to have been a topic of discussion at the meeting, which we knew was attended by the Vice President.
		According to this witness, after these points were made at the meeting, the ensuing conversation about the funding of the media campaign and the money needed to be raised by the President and Vice President would have been focused on the need for soft money.
		Given this state of the evidence, I conclude that there is insufficient evidence to reasonably conclude that the Vice President was put on notice as to the hard money component to the media fund during or because of any discussion that may have been held on the topic in the course of the Residence Meetings.

		Because as "chatty-cathy" as Fund had been earlier in the morning to us bloggers, he obviously had not seen an ounce of the swarm coverage - which is growing but was still considerably all over the blogosphere, and he had not learned his lesson yet.
		After Fund had made his "laptop snatch" this morning some of the bloggers had kidded around that perhaps it had been unfair to draw attention to Fund's use of someone's laptop without their permission.
		It was at this time that Cox returned to his machine where he realized that when Fund had arrived Cox's browser had been opened to the front page of The National Debate which included on that front page Bob's continuing contributions to the funny Fund episode.

	Anarchogeek: Indymedia Finance & Arguments For A Tactical Media Fund
		The only two alternatives you seem to explicitly address are: having tactical media funds structurally unconnected to indymedia; or, an interpretation of 'direct democracy' that says each IMC collective must reach consensus on each grant (for example; or each fiscal decision, or each decision involving global indymedia at all).
		That's okay if the funds are _meant_ to be media foundations independent of indymedia---although you still need to think about other ways to keep the funds under the original mission and responsive to the community 'at large', and avoid them being taken over by others.
		If a group needs funding they should be able to present to their community the work they've accomplished and ask for donations or promise work done on a specific project.

		There was a way to do this: by exploiting a legal loophole that allows political groups to accept unlimited soft-money contributions so long as they don’t explicitly advocate the election or defeat of any candidate and don’t coordinate with any candidate or party.

	CNN.com - Bush campaign to challenge ads - Mar 11, 2004
		The complaint alleges that the group running the ads, the Media Fund, is using so-called "soft" money contributions from deep-pocketed donors to pay for the ads, which is illegal under the new law because the ads seek to influence a race for federal office.
		The Bush campaign is demanding that the FEC take "rapid action" and impose "severe sanctions" against the group, which was created by former Clinton adviser Harold Ickes and aided by Jim Jordan, the former campaign manager of the presumptive Democratic nominee, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
		A spokeswoman for the Media Fund, Sarah Leonard, called the charge that the ads are illegally funded "ridiculous" and said it was an effort "to silence the voices of progressives in the grass roots across the country."
