Outfoxed by Fox News? No Way (Media Matters: Beck, Fox Will Inspire Next 'Oklahoma City' Bombing)
The Washington Post ^ | Friday, December 3, 2010 | Paul Farhi

SNIP

Fox has been a merciless critic of Soros, with Beck in the lead. In mid-November, Beck devoted three episodes of his TV program and several of his syndicated radio programs to detailing how he believes Soros is subverting American democracy. (Beck's false assertion that Soros was a Nazi collaborator as an adolescent brought a denunciation from the Jewish Anti-Defamation League.) Beck has repeatedly fulminated against one of Soros's favorite recipients, the Tides Foundation, a San Francisco-based nonprofit involved in environmental and human-rights projects.

Fox also was quick to make a connection between Soros's donation of $1.8 million to NPR... SNIP

In October, Soros donated $1 million to Media Matters, saying that he hoped his money would be used to combat Fox's "incendiary rhetoric" and " to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy."

In recent weeks, Media Matters has gone from simply publicizing what it deems to be Fox's misinformation to actively campaigning against the network. The organization has posted a Web page with an online petition that asks Fox's advertisers to "Drop Fox," that is, stop sponsoring the network.

Brock says the campaign, which predates Soros's contribution to Media Matters, is justified by Fox's refusal to rein in Beck. Brock and Media Matters blame Beck for inciting violent threats against the Tides Foundation, as well as a shootout in July between California police and a gunman who authorities said intended to attack Tides' headquarters. Tides chief executive and founder, Drummond Pike, has endorsed Media Matters' campaign.

"Every sponsor of every Fox show should be put on notice that this insanity is being underwritten by [advertisers]," Brock says. He adds: "If Beck isn't stopped, I think we'll have another Oklahoma City [bombing] in this country."

If MSM don’t stop their bias reporting, we may get another 9/11

Media Matters/Soros is the dingle berry on the face of the Democrat Party. What they’ll never understand is the derelicts and unstable walk among them.

Well, actually, it's true. Straight from the mouth of Soros himself, who said he is proud of his activities.

The Jewish ADL ought to be called the Leftist ADL. Their only interest is in protecting the Left, not Jews and not Israel.

I still haven’t found anyone who can providse direct quotes of the indendiary thing Glenn Beck has said in his alleged efforts to incite violence.

I do not watch/listen every day, but I have NEVER heard him advocate violence of any kind.

I’ve never even heard him tell people they should believe what he is saying, without first researching it for themselves.

So, what, exactly, does he need to be ‘reined in’ from?

Or Rodney King riots

Funny how that’s never mentioned. How many times was the video shown national and local news? Let’s see how many people die, how much property damage, how’s that neighborhood doing twenty years later?

I believe Zer0's lackeys are already planning the next OKC so they can blame Glenn Beck and Fox News.

The first one did wonders for Slick Willie's re-election chances.

In fact, he regularly preaches that violence is not the answer. I have heard this often from him.

Interesting. Sounds like a character in an Ayn Rand novel.

More spin and outright falsehood by the Wa. Com-Post!

See: Profile of a Liberal Sociopath: Billionaire George Soros Helped Nazis Murder & Steal from Jews, Feels No Remorse or Guilt

http://www.frugal-cafe.com/public_html/frugal-blog/frugal-cafe-blogzone/2010/09/07/profile-of-a-liberal-sociopath-billionaire-george-soros-helped-nazis-murder-steal-from-jews-feels-no-remorse-or-guilt/

"George Schwartz was born in Hungary in 1930 — not the luckiest time and place to be born a Jew.

George’s father Theodore tried to change the family’s fortunes by changing their name to something less Jewish-sounding. It didn’t help. And soon war came.

When the Nazis took total control of Hungary in 1944, the Holocaust followed. In two months, 440,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to death camps.

To survive, George, then a teenager, collaborated with the Nazis.

First he worked for the Judenrat. That was the Jewish council set up by the Nazis to do their dirty work for them. Instead of the Nazis rounding up Jews every day for the trains, they delegated that murderous task to Jews who were willing to do it to survive another day at the expense of their neighbours.

Theodore hatched a better plan for his son. He bribed a non-Jewish official at the agriculture ministry to let George live with him. George helped the official confiscate property from Jews.

By collaborating with the Nazis, George survived the Holocaust. He turned on other Jews to spare himself.

George moved to London after the war and then to New York, where he became a stockbroker. He’s rich now. Forbes magazine says he’s the 35th richest man in the world. Maybe you’ve heard of him. He goes by the name his father invented: George Soros.

How does Soros feel about what he did as a teenager? Has it kept him up at night?

Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes asked him that. Was it difficult? “Not at all,” Soros answered.

“No feeling of guilt?” asked Kroft. “No,” said Soros. “There was no sense that I shouldn’t be there. If I wasn’t doing it, somebody else would be taking it away anyhow. Whether I was there or not. So I had no sense of guilt.”

Who is ‘reining in’ Keith Olberman???????

Whi is putting a muzzle on Chrissy Matthews???

The Liberal media has about an 8 to 1 ratio of locations compared to Conservatives- probable more.

Let them work on getting Air America back on the air——with personal money— not tax payer money.

Right on the money!!

We rarely miss a show. I have heard Glenn preach nonviolence, but never heard him say anything to promote it.

I suppose the Washington Times are Soros zombies.

Judging by the swiftness of their brains, they think as slow as a zombie moves.

The Truth is almost always the direct opposite of what the Marxist/Leftist/Communist lamestream media says it is.
