Once a month, a free print publication gets delivered to mailboxes, coffee shops and libraries across the mid-Atlantic with the latest news about how the government and private sector are trying to protect one of America’s natural crown jewels: the Chesapeake Bay.
There’s just one catch: the Bay Journal’s chief financial backer is also one of its frequently covered subjects: the U.S. government.
Since 2005 alone, the federal Environmental Protection Agency has given $3.5 million to the newspaper’s parent organization, the nonprofit Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, in part to help print and distribute the newspaper.

So all that money that people donate to the Ches. Bay Foundation doesn't go to clean up the bay, but to a bunch of writers who pat themselves on the back then go to the bank. For 20 years...
Most of the money actually goes to pay the salaries of people who lobby us to donate more money.
