Sam Bankman-Fried’s support for Democrats is massively overstated

If SBF was the second largest GOP donor, Vox wouldn't be writing a headline saying his political donations were overblown.

These are clowns and propagandists, not journalists.

As the article explains, $11M of his $36M went to a candidate who lost in the primary.

Somehow that doesn't count as support?

That's my point. Maybe 80% of people just read the headlines, 20% read the articles.

If SBF was donating to GOP, the headlines would say something like how the GOP allowed a billionaire donor to skirt around regulators. Then you get a second article criticizing SBF for donating to a radical candidate that received a fringe minority of votes.

This is thoroughly discussed in the article.

Vox is gaslighting! Hard data says otherwise.
