BREAKING: Soros Gave $30M to Groups Urging Censorship of So-Called Disinfo Before Midterms
NewsBusters ^ | 10/14/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Liberal billionaire George Soros funded groups that are now urging the heads of major Big Tech platforms to step up their censorship just before the 2022 midterm elections.

The Soros-funded Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (LCCHR) spearheaded an Oct. 13 open letter signed by 11 other liberal groups pining for Big Tech to “[t]ake immediate steps to curb the spread of voting disinformation in the midterms and future elections and to help prevent the undermining of our democracy.” The letter agonized over how “[t]he 2022 midterm elections are only a few weeks away, but online disinformation continues to confuse, intimidate, and harass voters, suppress the right to vote, and otherwise disrupt our democracy.”

The groups addressed the letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew , Snap CEO Evan Spiegel and Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri. Soros gave a whopping $30,325,500 to at least seven of the 12 total signatories between 2016 and 2020.

MRC President Brent Bozell didn’t mince words about what side of the political aisle was going to be most affected by what the Soros-funded groups were urging. “Soros spent $30M on groups trying to get Big Tech to censor conservatives ahead of the midterms," Bozell said in a statement.

The letter doesn’t only target election-related posts on Big Tech platforms. It also demands that actions be taken against political candidates.

Obama, free speech labeled misinformation if they do not agree.

I was thinking that since people want that Griner WNBA star drug smuggler back from Russia that perhaps the US could offer up Soros as a trade because he is a wanted man in Russia.

This rids us of Soros for good and all we have to do is put up with Griner.

George Soros cares as much about “ democracy “ as he does about the U.S. Constitution.

FACT CHECK: This story was carefully checked by experts and it was found to be false, based on the author’s opinion of what constitutes misinformation. </sarcasm>

I think these oligarchs may be mentioned in the Book of Revelations… There are fewer puppetmasters than world leaders they control. Às seen through recent events, there are only a few leaders that actually leads anything. For the most part, they’re just imbecilic figure heads.

That is chicken feed compared to the hundreds of millions he is paying the groups that are, everywhere in church, school, and federal property, busily printing, voting, and signing millions of ballots that will be delivered to counting facilities at around 4 AM...

Even if someone took him out, ALL these dangerous commie big names have organizations that would continue attacking God’s second chosen people . . . The Americans.

How many minutes after a Red Wave crushes the Midterm will it take for the narrative to flip to “Russia interfered in the election”?

Soros doesn’t spend his own money for things like this.

He’s a front for nations hostile to The United States.

That’s why Gyorgy deserves nothing but contempt and scorn.

Well, only for a year, as she'd go back for the next season in Russia and get busted again.

Stupid is as stupid does.

So he’s compensating Big Internet Giants and banks for the revenue they lose by canceling people for their non-woke thoughts. No, it doesn’t say that. The media will do all they can to make sure we don’t ever find out.

Prove me wrong.

Is this old bass turd, Soros, an American citizen? If not, WTF is he doing getting involved in our elections and government. If he is, why was the criminal old Nazi given American citizenship?
