free press

A press thats 100% controlled by the capitalist class and expresses their interests cannot reasonably be described as free.

Non-profit does not mean its not run by capitalist interest

While the Sandler Foundation provided ProPublica with significant financial support, it also has received funding from the Knight Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Pew Charitable Trusts, Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, and the Atlantic Philanthropies.

Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation

Can't find anything about funding right now, and I'm tired. But I do know they routinely publish articles inconsistent with the values of their namesake.
