Completely unrelated: Urban’s firm is getting paid to lobby for its passage. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/07/2…
CNN and @AC360 didn't disclose that financial connection to viewers.
It made $12,550,000 in 2017.

(BTW: Urban, who is ACG's president, has a 25% ownership stake in the firm, according to a federal filing.)
The group's 2017 990 form stated that Urban made $2,284,785 in "reportable compensation from related organizations." projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/org…
$2,284,785.
I can't say Urban is conning CNN because the network knows all about this but keeps putting him on their programming.
