Glenn Reynolds is curious about Atrios. More precisely, since Atrios has unveiled as Duncan Black, who works for a group that's partially funded by George Soros, Glenn Reynolds wants to know why nobody's making a fuss about it. The money quote: "... if I were working for, say, Richard Mellon Scaife, I think somebody -- like, say, Duncan Black -- would be making something of it."

As it happens, Glenn Reynolds has a paying gig with Tech Central Station, which is funded by the DCI Group, which is a top-notch Republican lobbying organization. So I guess Glenn actually is working for Republican money-men after all. Funny how that works out.

Not that it's ultimately relevant, because I hope the comparison he's drawing is "Atrios works for Brock, what if I worked for Satan?", but it's still fun to pull up:

'Results 1 - 10 of about 1,890 for "funded by * soros"'
'Results 1 - 10 of about 133 for "funded by * scaife"'

It is? Just skimming the results, it looks like the top ten for each are pretty predictable: the Open Society for Soros and various anti-reality groups for Scaife.

I just meant the number of hits on each, not the results themselves. Off the top of my head, the only name that's giving more hits is Rockefeller. Just kind of highlights the difference between the phrase "Soros-funded" and "working for Soros" to me.
