He is also funding the research and supporting the groups/sites that most rabidly defend Obama’s birth narrative. Anytime you find a site dedicated to mocking and ‘discrediting’ ‘birfers’, dig down a little and you will find Soros financial backing.

Fwiw.

Journalism? Wouldn't the more accurate word be "Propaganda"?

Imagine if Bush took a vacation now

“Lefty Businessman Spends Millions Funding Journalism”

####

Soros is no businessman.

He is a corrupt, cowardly thief, who seeks to use political power to give him an uncontested inside track in order to increase his personal wealth.

He does not play by the rules of legitimate businesses, and produces nothing of value.

Recomendations?

How about making it a crime of treason to attempt to spread Communism. Could it be possible that we just have to much freedom in that regard? While we should be free to be a communist or a socialist, maybe attempting to implement communism should be a crime. After all it’s already illegal to take liberty and property of others through force or other immoral means. Why should it be ok to seek to take liberty and property through political means? Soros and his devilish ilk seek to take our liberty pure and simple. They are hostile to our most basic beliefs as a nation.

Maybe it’s time to BAN THEM!

Yes, but owning or funding media outlets is only an outrage when conservatives do it.

We and the relatively few conservative media outlets should start using the qualifier “Soros owned” or “Soros funded” (fill in the blank with the newspaper, syndicate, media conglomerate, or association etc.) every time we mention one of them. That would get the word out.

ANd what about the killing of Seal Team 6... (the bin laden guys)...
What did they know that made liquiding them IMPORTANT?...
Strange that it was Seal Team 6 ain’t it... very suspicious..

Was “Bin Laden” a look alike?... and not Bin Laden at all..
And where they used for a purely political coup?

Strange that ALL of them were liquidated.. ain’t it?..

I don't have anything against anyone who wants to start up a commune of their own with communistic themes as long as they don't press it on others. The rest of what you said has a lot of merit since there are people out there like Soros, William Ayers and so on who want to spread their ideology and impose it on the rest of us, some say that in itself is unAmerican and a threat, which I agree with.

How about this? In ancient Greece and Rome, they did banish their troublemakers to go outside of their countries or at least to the edge of the hinterlands. Maybe we can offer them a trip to the country of their choice if they think it is so bad here.

Thanks, piasa! This is the most detailed analysis of Soros’ journalism influence I’ve seen. His political organizations’ relationship to Hollywood political donors should also be noted in this context.
