It’s bad enough that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting had been funneling millions in tax dollars to leftist propaganda mills NPR and PBS over the decades. But what if we were to tell you that the CPB funded one of America's "fact-checking" giants backed by George Soros responsible for censoring conservatives on social media platforms for years? Because that’s exactly what we’re about to tell you.
MRC Business discovered that the CPB, which is fully funded by tax dollars through federal appropriations, gave $599,330 to the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in 2023.
Poynter, which runs the left-tilting International Fact-Checking Network, was heavily invested in helping Big Tech platforms like Facebook widely censor supposedly "troublesome" opinions on the COVID-19 virus, amongst other topics, like elections and abortion.
What’s worse is that liberal billionaires like George Soros, eBay co-founder Pierre Omidyar and others are also some of IFCN’s most infamous financiers, further compounding the First Amendment concerns that government funds could have potentially been used to silence Americans.
This is not the only connection between Poynter and "public" broadcasting: their website PolitiFact has a partnership with the PBS News Hour. You can tell these are fast friends: PolitiFact has zero fact checks on anything said or written by PBS and NPR staffers.

It’s amazing that the libtards have ever lost an election with all of our money going towards propaganda.
Who the hell is checking Georgy Soro’s fart checkers? If they care connected to the old Nazi, they don’t have any credibility.
“are connected”
I have an old and honorable connection to Pierre Omidyar via my research and teaching.
But I have no access to his contact info, and he won’t even give me the time of day!
Gates and Soros and a bunch more using taxpayer money and not their own but making people think it’s their money , they should be prosecuted for something
Praise be to God!
It’s like standing around watching that truck start to pump out an open septic tank that has not been cleaned in many decades...
In our supposed Constitutional republic, Congress is tasked with oversight of taxpayer funds.
Congress couldn’t care less how our money is wasted.
We do not hate Congress enough.

Now it seems evident Soros was so generous with money. Maybe he was using PBS and NPR funds to spread Taxpayers money around, it was never his money to begin with. Maybe Soros used taxpayers money to invest into offshore oil leases, made a billion dollars, never had to pay the funds back.
435 Congressmen can in no way adequately represent the 340 million people of this Republic.
