Report: George Soros Funds Global ‘Fact Checking’ Empire
Breitbart ^ | 26 Jan 2023 | ALLUM BOKHARI

Over the past few years, a cottage industry of “fact checkers” and “misinformation” experts has emerged to advance the left’s mission of silencing dissent to its agenda around the world. Analysis of the funding of these organizations leads back to a familiar figure: left-wing billionaire George Soros.

The New York Post broke down the trail of Soros dollars linking a global network of organizations intent on suppressing and discrediting conservative voices online.

Via the New York Post:

Later in the year, heading into the midterms, in an open letter signed by 11 other leftist groups, the Soros-funded Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights called on Big Tech CEOs to take “immediate” action to spread so-called “voting disinformation” to “help prevent the undermining” of democracy. The signatories had received a combined $30.3 million from Soros in just a four-year period.

As the Hungarian publication Remix revealed, of the 11 Facebook-approved fact checking organizations for Central and Eastern Europe, eight were funded by Soros. As is the case for the US, these fact checking groups are largely critical of the political right.

One project of the Poynter Institute specifically, the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), was launched in 2015 with its initial funding coming from the National Endowment for Democracy (backed by the US State Department), the Omidyar Network, Google, Facebook, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

“Fact checking” is an important element in the left’s online censorship machine, giving social media companies a politically neutral pretext so censor conservative viewpoints.

Fact checking means misinforming in his case. Sort of like Satan himself, a deceiver.

I’ve been seeing commercials all day about

” misinformation” and
“ Trustworthy news”
and “ disinformation”
And
“ trusted fact checkers”

Nina like hip script, with diversity propaganda pushers gone wild on national TV.

Spit.

What does der kleine Führer do? Buy them all 55 gallon drums of “credibility”. Fart checkers cause more confusion than the people spreading the crap for the fart checkers to check.

There needs to be a House Intelligence Committee investigation of KAPO Soros, who he funds, which organizations are his fronts, and if he is in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, tax-evasion laws, and funding foreign enemies of the US.

I agree with your thoughts there.

I would suggest he be tried for organized crime.

If he’s paying kids to riot across the nation, that should
garner him five thousand years worth of sentencing.

And then that two thousand year probation.

Course with time off for good behavior, he’d be out in
two weeks, or some idiot would given him a pardon
because he didn’t use violence, only the kids who went
against his orders did. (as if)
