Executive Summary
Leftist billionaire George Soros used his charities to build ties with hundreds of media organizations around the world involved in news and activist media. The journalism and activist media groups Soros supports mold public opinion on practically every continent and in many languages. They also insulate him from inquiry because reporters see him as an ally, not a target for investigation.
The 92-year-old philanthropist’s multimillion-dollar efforts promoting his bizarre “open society” agenda encompass some of the most radical leftist ideas on abortion, Marxist economics, anti-Americanism, defunding the police, environmental extremism and LGBT fanaticism.
His global media clout is massive. An extensive analysis by MRC Business discovered at least 253 news and activist media organizations across the world financed by Soros’ philanthropic organizations. These groups wield massive power over information in international politics.
This report is the first in a three-part series that reveals the extent of the reach Soros wields over international media to influence the world population. Soros once told The New York Times that he was working to “bend” the arc of history “in the right direction.” He means it.
Project Syndicate: A Global Soros-Funded Behemoth
There is no publication that exemplifies Soros’ hold on the global media more than Project Syndicate, self-dubbed “The World’s Opinion Page.”
- A Global Propaganda Operation. The publication boasts a “global audience” that includes “prominent politicians, policymakers, scholars, business leaders, and civic activists from six continents” and “over 140 heads of state.” Project Syndicate claimed its commentaries appeared an amazing 20,393 times in 156 countries in 2021 alone. Soros’ OSF funneled at least $1,532,105 to Project Syndicate between 2016 and 2020. The outlet promoted everything from abortion to global climate lockdowns to hatred against Israel. It also influences White House propaganda.
Poynter Institute: A Global Soros-Backed Ministry of Truth
The Poynter Institute has devolved from a premier outlet for journalistic training to another leftist media outlet.
- Poynter Is Soros’ ‘Gold Standard’ for Liberal Journalism Gatekeeping. Poynter sells itself as a “global leader in journalism” and as the “gold standard” to emphasize its influence. Soros gave $492,000 to finance Poynter’s leftist International Fact-Checking Network between 2016 and 2020. The network works with 100 so-called fact-checking organizations worldwide, distinguishing itself as a de facto Ministry of Truth. Poynter’s fact-checking operation restricts opinions on issues like abortion, “transgenderism,” COVID-19 and Marxist economics. IFCN signatories like Lead Stories, Poynter’s own PolitiFact and Agence-France Presse, actively work with Big Tech platforms like Facebook and its sister company Instagram to boost their “fact-checking” operations to censor users.
openDemocracy: Soros’ Leftist Global Journalism Operation
Through the leftist U.K.-based openDemocracy, Soros works to control journalism worldwide.
- openDemocracy Is a Cesspool of Leftist Extremism. OSF gave at least $1,633,457 to openDemocracy between 2016 and 2020. The outlet pushes extreme leftist content masquerading as journalism. It promotes transgender ideology in children, anti-Christian propaganda, calls for the abolishment of the nuclear family, climate radicalism and anti-Semitism. openDemocracy flaunts that it “attracts more than 11 million visits per year” and publishes “in Russian, Spanish and Portuguese as well as English.”
Free Press: ‘Socialism’ Restricting Conservative Speech
Free Press is activism disguised as journalism. It pushes to silence conservative speech.
- Liberal Media Props Up Free Press’ Anti-American Mission. Free Press boasted how it received “3,200 press hits in places including the Associated Press, Bloomberg, CNN, Democracy Now!, The Guardian, The Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, NPR, Poynter and Wired” in 2021. Leftist Free Press co-founder Robert W. McChesney made a Marxist call to action in 2000 to “make media reform part of our broader struggle for democracy, social justice, and, dare we say it, socialism.”
Media Democracy Fund: A Soros-Funded Gargantuan Dedicated to Woke ‘Social Justice’
The Soros-funded Media Democracy Fund is a dark money operation at “the crossroads of digital technology and social justice.”
- Media Democracy Fund Is a Money-Spewing Cog in Soros’ Sphere of Influence. It received $3,520,000 from Soros’ OSF between 2016 and 2020. Its so-called “Disinfo Defense League” (DDL) urges government to fund journalism, .“[t]o fully combat the problems of disinformation, hate and other malign practices online.” The fund pressured for “Congress to create a small percentage tax on the online advertising revenues of the largest online platforms,” DDL claimed.
National Public Radio: Soros and State Media
Soros’ media empire wouldn’t be complete without a connection to U.S. state media.
- NPR Is Soros’ Taxpayer-Funded Radio Propaganda Mill. National Public Radio has proven to be a propaganda mill for Soros’ anti-American agenda. NPR received $600,000 from Soros’ foundations in 2016. NPR currently exploits a weekly audience of 48 million, according to NPR network exclusive sponsorship representative National Public Media. During the Aug. 1, 2022, edition of All Things Considered, NPR reporter Sergio Martinez-Beltran compared “hardline Republicans” pushing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to be stricter on immigration to the mass shooter at the El Paso Walmart in 2019.

This just in (2 hour ago):
German police raid leads to 22 arrests of people suspected of terrorist activities (which usually means Neo-Nazi or antisemitic hate speech).
Among the detainees are former police officer Michael Fritsch, who was fired from his job because he could not support the police actions surrounding masks and Covid, and has spoken at protests and rallies. Once, he waved his right arm around in the air when speaking, and now it says in the media that it was a display of the Hitler thing. I saw it. It wasn’t. Plus, he has always spoken in favor of peaceful disobedience.
Also arrested were a female judge and former member of parliament of the party AfD, a party which some people would like to see banned and forbidden because of its far right wing program.
Reading the comments under the news article: A good number of people think that the raid was done at this point in time to deflect people’s attention away from the brutal stabbing murder of a 14 year old girl by an East African asylum seeker a few days ago in a small German village, the same village where a horde of Africans gang raped a 14 year old in 2019.
KIKE !
Like Patton said we defeated the wrong race in WW2
The In Justice system! Cry for the country.
“Of course, we have degenerated from the principles of honor and justice. The antics of the mainstream press have been deliberately seeking to manipulate elections just as Hillary accused Putin when she lost.”
To understand this Hungarian Jew, I think we have to drop the left/right paradigm. For George, the left are useful idiots. This Jew became rich through insider trading, political manipulation encouraging mass migration, stoking racial tensions and undermining national currencies. His foundations have been accused of shielding spies, breaking currency laws and his investing strategy has been targeted for harming several national currencies. George has a reputation of “breaking the bank of England”. George is a Felon, convicted in France for insider trading among many other felonious action.
George is a Jew but projects himself as an open Anti-Semite. George claims his mother was a Jew and was ashamed of her heritage. George claims that’s why he doesn’t identify as Jew.
To the left George is a hero, but as usual the left are misreading him and are being used to further his actual goals. Georges “Open Society Foundation” is anything but. George has no love for democracy or any form thereof. George believes that the world should be ran by a committee of power moguls, George is a dyed-in-the-wool Communist. Georges true goal is to break the foundations of Constitutional Governments to clear the way for an authoritarian world wide Communist Government. You see using the left/right paradigm only gives George the cover that he needs to undermine our society. He projects the illusion that it’s all in the name of Democracy. Know thy enemy- George has very deep rooted history stemming back 80 years, this guy is a monster. The more we know about him the more this villain is exposed. George like most of the power brokers are neither left nor right, they use the left to elevate and further a much higher goal that reaches far beyond that paradigm. The first step is too wake up from their illusion and is an illusion. We are being manipulated and recognizing the scam is to expose the scam.
Hitler was right.
Not sure how that works contextually with what I’m saying, but I’m okay with that.
He was right about a lot of things.
Someone needs to identify George as an electrical transformer……
That’s the best you got? Being witty isn’t your strong point is it.
This jew Soros became rich long before his currency and other shenanigans … he originally became rich (and powerful in some circles) by ratting out his fellow jews and their wealth during WW2 …
” Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that vaccinated and boosted people made up most of the COVID-19 deaths in August.”
He and everyone related to him should be set on fire….as a start.
Soros should have the Horst Wessel Song blaring outside his residence 24/7.
