A document the National Education Association filed with the U.S. Department of Labor in 2011 indicates that the teachers union donated $100,000 to Media Matters For America nearly two years ago, describing it as a payment for public relations costs. In the months that followed, Media Matters online coverage of teachers unions increased, focusing largely on attacking the Fox News Channel and other media outlets it considers conservative in nature.
The $100,000 payment was first documented in Shadowbosses: Government Unions Control America and Rob Taxpayers Blind, a book by Citadel international politics professor Mallory Factor published on August 21.
[T]o ensure that NEAs agenda makes its way in the media, Factor wrote, NEA has given $100,000 to Media Matters, the George Soros-funded liberal charitable organization dedicated to targeting mythical right-wing media bias.

The Daily Caller has obtained an electronic document verifying Factors claim. It is available on a website operated by the Department of Labors Office of Labor-Management Standards.
