Voice of America’s “drifting left” would be another example of Robert Conquest’s Second Law of Politics, namely, that “any organization not explicitly and constitutionally right-wing will sooner or later become left-wing.”
By the way, it’s good to recall Conquest’s First Law, too: “Everyone is conservative on subjects he knows best.” See John Derbyshire at https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/conquests-laws-john-derbyshire/ (Derbyshire, along with Peter Brimelow, are two of britain’s greatest exports to America.)

Is it the lure of "free money" that gets groups together to start philanthropic,liberal organizations to supposedly "help" people,but which usually only wind up helping themselves?

It isn't just politics; by the late 1960s, EVERYTHING was "left-wing," and normal behavior and attitudes became "conservative," "right-wing," and finally "far-right." Fashion, mass media, music, language... EVERYTHING. Growing up in that time was a nightmare. And it's unimaginably worse today, more like the End Times.

abc NOISE GLEEFULLY REPORTS OF SECURITY BREACH WITH CABINET MEMBERS TEXTING WAR PLANS TO THE "ATLANTIC" EDITOR-IN-CHIEF,JEFFREY GOLDBERG.
GRA:abc is the network I watched,with other networks also jumping in on the story,of various Trump cabinet members(i.e.Vance,Hegseth,Rubio) discussing a planned bombing of Houthi rebels,on a groupchat. "Atlantic" editor-in-chief,Jeffrey Goldberg,was unwittingly included in the top secret conversation by national security advisor,Mike Waltz.
Martha Radditz had a glow on her face,while stressing,"This kind of breach is unheard of."
Only Goldberg,the receiver of the information,could have felt more orgasmic in distributing the story.
"I didn't know if it was true or not. After the bombing happened,4 days later,I knew this was legitimate."
Then it was time to embarrass the opposition--which he did--gleefully...along with abc,nbc and cbs.
