Soros' Ties to Over 30 Major News Organizations

[FOXNEWS] When liberal investor George Soros gave $1.8 million to National Public Radio , it became part of the firestorm of controversy that jeopardized NPR's federal funding. But that gift only hints at the widespread influence the controversial billionaire has on the mainstream media. Soros, who spent $27 million trying to defeat President Bush in 2004, has ties to more than 30 mainstream news outlets -- including The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
, Washington Post, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named, NBC and ABC.

Prominent journalists like ABC's Ace newshound Christiane Amanpour and former Washington Post editor and now Vice President Len Downie serve on boards of operations that take Soros cash. This despite the Society of Professional Journalists' ethical code stating: "avoid all conflicts real or perceived."

This information is part of an upcoming report by the Media Research Centers Business & Media Institute which has been looking into George Soros and his influence on the media.

The investigative reporting start-up ProPublica is a prime example. ProPublica, which recently won its second Pulitzer Prize, initially was given millions of dollars from the Sandler Foundation to "strengthen the progressive infrastructure" -- "progressive" being the code word for very liberal. In 2010, it also received a two-year contribution of $125,000 each year from the Open Society Foundations. In case you wonder where that money comes from, the OSF website is www.soros.org. It is a network of more than 30 international foundations, mostly funded by Soros, who has contributed more than $8 billion to those efforts.

The ProPublica stories are thoroughly researched by top-notch staffers who used to work at some of the biggest news outlets in the nation. But the topics are almost laughably left-wing. The site's proud list of "Our Investigations" includes attacks on oil companies, gas companies, the health care industry, for-profit schools and more. More than 100 stories on the latest lefty cause: opposition to drilling for natural gas by hydraulic fracking. Another 100 on the evils of the foreclosure industry.

Throw in a couple investigations making the military look bad and another about prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and you have almost the perfect journalism fantasy -- a huge budget, lots of major media partners and a liberal agenda unconstrained by advertising.

One more thing: a 14-person Journalism Advisory Board, stacked with CNN's David Gergen and representatives from top newspapers, a former publisher of The Wall Street Journal and the editor-in-chief of Simon & Schuster. Several are working journalists, including:

• Jill Abramson, a managing editor of The New York Times;

• Kerry Smith, the senior vice president for editorial quality of ABC News;

• Cynthia A. Tucker, the editor of the editorial page of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

ProPublica is far from the only Soros-funded organization that is stacked with members of the supposedly neutral press.

The Center for Public Integrity is another great example. Its board of directors is filled with working journalists like Amanpour from ABC, right along side blatant liberal media types like Arianna Huffington, of the Huffington Post and now AOL.

#1 Think to yourself...

What does a man who thinks he is god do to the world when he has the money?

Well, you see it right here, UK, Israel, multiple African Nations, and the media.

He was taught his role. He sold Jews household goods and furniture to people once they were on the train.

Lots of money since them because he bankrupts Countries now and spends the proceeds of his youth making everyone succumb to his marxist view of his godliness.

One thing to be said for soros is, he makes every nasty bond villain look like a piece of scat in the Nation he F***ed.

This guy should have his own reality show - sucking satan.

But for me, seeing how the whoreOcrat party acts around his money, he is the real deal.

Pimp extrordinaire.

He turned this world with his cash HE STOLE FROM JEWS GOING INTO THE GAS CHAMBER.

Now, I will say this once more. There are warrants for him in some Countries.

Not that that means anything here.
But if you really want to know who put US on the waterslide to hell, he carried you up the steps.

#7 Soros buying the left-wingnut media? That shouldn't be hard since ideologically the MSM are in bed with him. A little money just sweetens things for them.
