Media Wield Lefty Anti-Trump Group Agitprop, Claim Holiday Gift Prices Are Up 26%
NewsBusters ^ | 12/16/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

The left-wing dark money behemoth Arabella Advisors may have just dissolved, but that hasn’t stopped outlets from spewing its anti-Trump propaganda whenever they get the chance. Take this headline:

"Tis the Season for Price Hikes: Popular Holiday Gifts Climb 26 Percent Under Trump"

Of course, the study was laced with cherry-picked figures to bolster its narrative, but don’t expect the media to be forthcoming about it or its explicit left-wing bias.

Politico, the New York Post and NPR-affiliate Buffalo Toronto Public Media (BTPM) were like bees buzzing around honey over the supposed findings of a study spearheaded by Groundwork Collaborative, a leftist policy group fiscally-sponsored by the George Soros-financed New Venture Fund, which was until November 2025 managed by Arabella Advisors, before the latter’s rebrand to Sunflower Services. The group is notoriously anti-Trump.

The terms “Arabella Advisors” and “New Venture Fund” were never disclosed within any of the aforementioned outlets’ reporting on Groundwork’s so-called “analysis.” The Soros empire has poured at least $88,704,062 into New Venture Fund’s coffers between 2016 and 2024, further emphasizing the blatant bias that undergirds the network in which Groundwork operates. Another of Arabella’s Soros-funded nonprofits, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, spent $410 million to defeat former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. And one of the Sixteen Thirty Fund’s radical pet projects, Fix Our Senate, was behind a push to kill the Senate filibuster.

Seems like important context, doesn’t it? Apparently not for the media that mindlessly regurgitated Groundwork’s talking points.
