#What HBO's 'The Dark Money Game' won't tell you about the left

Here's an important truth that HBO’s ‘The Dark Money Game’ doesn't want you to know about politics in America today

Published April 17, 2025

'The Dark Money Game' on HBO won't tell the truth about Democrats and politics | Fox News

"The Dark Money Game" – two new feature-length documentaries from Alex Gibney that debuted this week on HBO make it sound like the network’s initials stand for Helping Bernie on Oligarchy. Some leftist journalists and filmmakers have suggested Donald Trump represents the end of American democracy, but the bitterest socialists suggest democracy was ended by the Supreme Court in the 2010 Citizens United decision.

To paraphrase a famous bank commercial, it’s apparently the worst decision in the history of decisions.

Radical documentarian Gibney – dyspeptic enough that he told the Daily Beast in 2013 that Pope Benedict XVI was a "criminal" – made two films under the heading "The Dark Money Case." They debuted this week on HBO. In the two documentaries, he uncorked a large conspiracy theory, that religious conservatives and rapacious corporate capitalists have overthrown democracy since 2010. This conspiracy was realized with the help of those evil conservatives at the Federalist Society.

TIM DILLON SAYS REBRANDING OF CORE AMERICAN VALUES AS 'RIGHT-WING' IS THE 'CRAZIEST THING' HE'S EVER HEARD

The first of the two Gibney documentaries, "Ohio Confidential," is about a bribery scheme within the Republican Party, but to Gibney the "corruption" in Ohio included the passage of a pro-life bill. "Flush with campaign cash from dark money donors, the anti-abortion side was all smiles, like a team that plays the game knowing the fix is in."

All the journalism exposing dark money from George Soros or Reid Hoffman or Arabella Advisors or Act Blue is never going to get a minute on HBO. Ohio’s scandal is presented as a national scandal for the GOP. But, any local scandal for the Democrats is never national.

Gibney was inspired by leftist New Yorker writer Jane Mayer and her 2017 book "Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right." She echoed the thought that a pro-life bill in Ohio represented "private interests" taking over politics. When the Left loses, the "public interest" loses.

Journalists should expose bribery when it happens in politics, of course, but Gibney and HBO proceed as if one side of the democracy is corrupt, and that "dark money" is somehow something that is never scandalous when employed on behalf of the Left. So, all the journalism exposing George Soros or Reid Hoffman or Arabella Advisors or Act Blue is never going to get a minute on HBO. Ohio’s scandal is presented as a national scandal for the GOP. But any local scandal for the Democrats is never national.

10 YEARS AFTER SUPREME COURT'S CITIZENS UNITED RULING, BIG CORPORATIONS HAVEN'T HIJACKED OUR ELECTIONS

The second Gibney documentary, "Wealth of the Wicked," focuses on the origin of the Citizens United case, how the McCain-Feingold "campaign reform" bill made it illegal for the group Citizens United to air ads for its film "Hillary: The Movie" within 60 days of an election. "Campaign reform" was designed to prevent conservatives from going around the liberal media elite with critical films about Democrats. Now they try to suppress that information as a "misinformation" offense.

Mayer complained that in 90% of races, the candidate spending the most money is the winner. "And if you have so much more money than the other side has, you can completely drown out the other side."

The problem with an argument like this is that many House and Senate races are not competitive. According to Ballotpedia, in 2024, 43 House and Senate candidates won an election by five percentage points or fewer, representing 9% of all congressional elections. Eighty candidates won an election by ten percentage points or fewer, representing 17% of all congressional elections. Candidates who aren’t expected to have a chance won’t get funded.

Charlie Kirk says Democrats took young people for ‘granted’ Video

Then there’s the umbrage about "completely drowning out the other side." This is unintentionally hilarious, because these Gibney films for HBO always drown out the other side. In this case, Gibney offered "conservatives" like former pro-lifer Rob Schenck, who is now in favor of abortion. Hence, they are no longer conservatives.

Schenck underlined the Gibney thesis: "We have a little aphorism built on a Bible verse: ‘The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous.’ So, yeah, let’s baptize the billionaires’ money. We can do that and it eventually brought together this alliance."

The leftist critique of big money in politics, and their demands to somehow remove it, is utopian wishful thinking. Trying to take money out of politics is like trying to take the bark out of dogs. It can’t be done. It’s especially near-sighted because it doesn’t acknowledge the centrality of TV advertising and the news media in campaigns.

The Left complains that speech is money, but leftist journalists can propagandize on HBO and that somehow doesn’t count as "money in politics," which it certainly is. What’s the advertising equivalent of that kind of airtime? The Left doesn’t see it that way, because dominating the national discussion is what they define as democracy.

"Non-commercial" non-capitalist media outlets like PBS and NPR promote a lot of leftist messaging and drown out conservatives, which represents Gibney’s radical goal of "taking the money out." But they’re taking the money out of conservative pockets and using it to smear them. That’s somehow the antonym of "oligarchy." Documentaries like these imply the political system is unfair when conservatives win anything.

2023?

Bemidji State University canceled all classes on Friday after an incident involving racist threats on social media. Administration is currently working alongside the Bemidji Police Department and has increased its public safety presence.

On Thursday, March 2nd, Bemidji State University’s Center for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion sponsored a “Beaver Huddle” event in Hagg-Sauer Hall. The event was meant to discuss hate-based incidents that had recently been occurring on BSU’s campus.

“We had an incident that occurred in our residence halls, a racial incident,” said Bemidji State University President Dr. John Hoffman.

One of the targets of this incident reached out to Lakeland News to discuss her experience.

“We discovered the N-word was carved into my door, along with just some random, like, scratches and marks that had been on there,” explained the victim, who has asked to remain anonymous.

Dr. Hoffman said that the “Beaver Huddle” was organized in an attempt to shed light on the issue. While the event was initially meant to serve as a way to confront difficult topics of racial and social justice, it soon took a dark turn later in the evening, when comments were made on an anonymous messaging board known as Yik Yak.

“We saw hate in its truest forms after that meeting with some social media postings,” said Bemidji State University Student Senate President Caleb Travis.

“There’s people threatening to commit more hate crimes against people of color,” said the victim, “There was also a comment that was pertaining to my friends and I, and it read, ‘The girls in the front row need to be skinned.'”

As a result of these threats, it was decided by administration to cancel all classes on Friday, March 3rd and to heighten security on campus.

“Around midnight, they sent an email that classes were cancelled,” explained Bemidji State University Senior Dawson Stone.

“We worked through some options,” said Dr. Hoffman, “Spoke with [the] Bemidji Police Department, spoke also with our campus security, and determined that the appropriate action for us would be to cancel classes.”

Although classes weren’t in session, staff did meet to address this incident, and a student conference was also held to discuss these events.

“As an institution, as people, as human beings, we don’t wanna see that on our campus,” said Travis.

Regarding the threats, Stone said simply, “That’s just not okay.”

“I just don’t want this to happen to anyone else,” said the victim. “Because realistically, and honestly, this has been one of the hardest weeks of my life. I want BSU to say, ‘enough is enough.'”

President Hoffman says that an investigation into the threats is currently underway in hopes of identifying the individual or individuals making these threats. Hoffman has also said that this behavior will not be tolerated.
