Soros Grows Propaganda Apparatus with Radio Network Purchases

At 93 years old, George Soros may be in his last days, but he is unrelenting in ensuring his legacy lives on after he’s gone. 

The billionaire left-wing activist made a major expansion of his influence machine with his February purchase of a controlling interest in the bankrupt company Audacy. With more than 230 local radio stations in its network, Audacy is the second-biggest radio company in the United States after iHeart Media.

Now, Soros Fund Management, an arm of Soros’ Open Society Foundations, is reportedly looking into buying up other radio companies in dire straits, such as the publicly traded Cumulus Media, according to Semafor.

According to bankruptcy filings examined by the New York Post, radio stations within Audacy’s network comprise WFAN and 1010 WINS in New York, along with KROQ in Los Angeles. Moreover, Soros’ fund also assumed $400 million of Audacy’s debt.

During the past year, Michael Del Nin, the primary media investor for the fund, engaged with prominent figures in digital media and audio. The fund has explored various acquisition opportunities, including Project Brazen, a podcast company. Additionally, it has considered acquiring Pushkin Industries, the podcast company co-founded by Malcolm Gladwell and Jacob Weisberg, as well as Lemonada, known for its “Wiser Than Me” show hosted by actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus. According to another source in the podcast industry cited by Semafor, Lemonada is currently in the process of seeking a buyer, but some potential buyers have been hesitant due to its high asking price.

Additionally, Soros in 2022 made an investment of an unknown sum in Crooked Media, the progressive podcast network responsible for producing the widely acclaimed “Pod Save America.”

But Soros’ ambition of dominating the nation’s airwaves may be hampered by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations that limit the number of stations any given entity may own. And Soros’ activities have not eluded Republican attention. Representative Nick Langworthy (R-N.Y.) on Monday requested that FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel initiate a probe into Soros’ purchase of Audacy, as reported by the Daily Caller.

Per the outlet, Langworthy wrote the following in his letter to Rosenworcel:

I believe this sale is the latest in a series of moves by a partisan, progressive billionaire to consolidate control over the media and flood hundreds of radio stations with far-left ideology and propaganda. Furthermore, I believe that what we could lose in the process is the unique lifeline that local radio brings through both local connection and diversity of thought that have been so important to Americans, particularly in recent years.

Soros also has the ear of President Biden. As Fox News reports, Tara McGowan, founder and publisher of Courier Newsroom, which receives funding from left-leaning billionaires such as George Soros and Reid Hoffman, visited the White House nearly 20 times from August 2022 to December 2023.

Courier Newsroom, a subsidiary of Good Information Inc., is overseen by McGowan herself and has faced criticism for setting up a network of “local news” platforms nationwide that disseminate “propaganda” from operatives of the Democratic Party.

In a 2020 article for OpenSecrets, campaign finance expert Anna Massoglia highlighted that websites associated with Courier Newsroom, which appear to be independent local news platforms, are actually linked to a coordinated campaign closely connected to Democratic political operatives.

The meetings offer insight into how prominent left-wing activists have secured access to the Biden administration. Alex Soros, son of George Soros, is among the frequent attendees. However, per a January Axios report, the White House counsel office cautioned Biden last year about potential legal concerns arising from his repeated hosting of meetings with donors right in the Oval Office, the place where the president is supposed to conduct official state business.

Throughout the 2020 elections, Courier Newsroom allocated millions of dollars toward supporting at-risk House Democrats via a “misleading” Facebook advertising initiative, as reported by the Washington Examiner. 

McGowan has visited the Biden White House to engage with various senior aides, including Jordan Finkelstein, who currently serves as a special assistant to the president. Additionally, Patrick Stevenson, identified as deputy assistant to the president and senior adviser for digital strategy on his LinkedIn profile, is noted in visitor logs as a key contact person for certain interactions involving McGowan.

Visitor logs show that McGowan’s visits to the White House also involved interactions with other aides, such as Madeline Strasser, a former adviser to then-White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, and Nina Srivastava, another former adviser under Klain’s tenure.

Also, in 2022, amid the midterm elections, Courier Newsroom received substantial contributions from nonprofit organizations overseen by Arabella Advisors, the most extensive network of Democratic-affiliated dark money in the United States. Contrary to the mainstream media’s claim, there is nothing objective or impartial about its practices.

Meanwhile, Soros continues to purchase shares in Alphabet, which owns Google. The globalist financier understands that controlling the flow of information gives him power — and he is leveraging that power and influence to destroy America from within.
