Super PAC Fighting to Keep Harry Reid in Control of Senate is Flooded with ‘Dark Money’

Reid: ‘Dark money’ is the ‘greatest threat to our democracy that I have witnessed’

One of the biggest donors to the Super PAC aiming to keep Sen. Harry Reid (D., Nev.) in control of the Senate is a corporation run by a notorious Democratic donor that is contributing millions to outside spending groups.

Newsweb Corp, described as a printer of “alternative newspapers,” has been the second largest contributor to Senate Majority PAC so far this cycle. The company was founded by Fred Eychaner, who quietly contributed more than $14 million to liberal Super PACs in during the 2012 election.

Newsweb has thrown nearly $6 million into the political ring so far this cycle, and nearly all of it has gone to outside spending groups.

“The American people reject the notion that money gives billionaires, corporations or special interests a greater voice in government than voters,” Reid said on the Senate floor last week. “They believe, as I do, that the Constitution doesn’t give corporations a vote, and it doesn’t give dollar bills a vote.”
