Joe Bast rebuts the warmist attacks– reveals Heartland ‘ raised more money since Fakegate incident than in the previous 11 months, and are on track to double our income this year’
Bast: 'We've doubled number of current donors since Feb. With only one exception so far, the donors we've lost either didn't give in 2011 (or even in 2010) or have agreed to fund spin-off orgs we are creating, such as the R Street Inst., so the result is no net loss of our effectiveness, & actually an increase...reporters have made it clear that they will not report the debate fairly, so there is no longer any point in trying to appeal to their ethics or honesty'
