(Montana – MFP) A national progressive media organization with ties to a Democratic Party-aligned super Political Action Committee has launched a self-described news outlet in Montana ahead of the state’s slate of high-profile elections.
In online and print editions, the Montana Independent appears superficially similar to many other Montana news outlets, but Montana Independent writers are almost all out-of-state journalists well-established in the progressive media sphere.
Montana Free Press reports Montana Independent stories are generally not directly critical or supportive of particular candidates but highlight Republicans in ways that might be expected to turn off voters and describe Democrats in ways that might generate voter support.
Some of the officers of the foundation that funds the MI’s parent company, the American Independent, are also connected to American Bridge 21st Century, a Democrat-aligned political action committee.
