“Soros-Funded Non-Profits”

Not just Soros-Funded. Soros-designed, Soros-started, Soros-owned-lock-stock-&-barrel.

There was a story about this a few months ago. It was played up as a purely NPR thing.

This administration must be stopped.

Under the terms of the FCC order approving Comcast’s takeover of NBCU, at least half of NBC’s 10 O&Os have to find a nonprofit news center with which to work within the next year.

Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press...

It seems to me that the media should be free to do this, or not do this, of their own accord. The government cannot force the media to operate with a preferred outlet or lose their business.

Is that not an unconstitutional requirement, violating the First Amendment, abridging the Freedom of the Press?

I don’t think it can be called a “movement” if its mandated by government. Yes, they are even more leftist biased.

Dinosaur media deathwatch?

Soros: 3 out of 4 Hidden Dynasties* approve!

If he'd just start a “religious” organization, he'd have all four covered.

Oops; he also funds some Leftist/"Progressive" religious groups. Make that 4 for 4.

Why would the FCC have to “order” NBC to buddy up with Soros? They’ve been doing it eagerly for many years.

NBC produces TV programs. I don't watch TV, but it will influence the layabouts who do watch TV...and vote.

One of the FCC stipulations of the Comcast – NBCU merger was the incorporation of non-profit journalism centers into NBC newsrooms. They are charged with maintaining and increasing local news coverage, the regulation based on the relationship between KNSD-TV and VoiceofSanDiego.org.

Just one more reason to avoid the mainstream state-run media.

They needed to be told to bend over for Soros? That’s a shocker!
