Farah Now Blaming Media Matters, George Soros For WND’s Impending Demise

Joseph Farah was in full conspiratorial froth in his March 9 WorldNetDaily column:

You can’t make this stuff up.

Never, even in my fertile imagination, would I have guessed that we would find a smoking-gun 49-page memo revealing how George Soros operatives, including David Brock, were there at the genesis, the planning stages, with their hands on the ignition key, of the most concerted, well-funded, diabolical attack on free speech in the history of America.

But here it is, so you have the evidence. It’s called “Democracy Matters: Strategic Plan for Action.”

Millions saw it on the DrudgeReport – including, no doubt, President Trump, Vice President Pence and Republican congressional leaders. But most Americans still know nothing of its existence – because it was not reported among the Big Media. And, today, the Big Media includes the DrudgeReport. They don’t want you to know about it. They would be embarrassed if America found out how they have been used and manipulated – from their focus on “Russian collusion” to other wild conspiracy theories targeting their No. 1 villain, President Trump.

It was nothing short of a plan to turn Google, Facebook and other social media into hyper-partisan Democratic Party activists, promoters, cheerleaders and off-the-books donors in an effort to turn the country into a one-party state.

Actually, the memo didn’t do any of that — it’s a fairly standard political strategy memo about how to counter the Trump administration after its victory, likely not so different from strategy memos prepared by conservative groups to counter Democratic president — and probably not so different from memos created at WND to decide how to deceive and lie about Barack Obama. Also, Brock’s Media Matters only received one donation from Soros more than a decade ago, so it’s a bit of absurd for Farah to call the group a bunch of “Soros operatives.”

But Farah was still in a conspiratorial mood — which, of course, evolves into a money beg:

The strategies were – get this – impeachment, expanding Media Matters’ mission to combat “government misinformation,” ensuring Democratic control of the Senate in the 2018 midterm elections, filing lawsuits against the Trump administration, monetizing political advocacy, using a “digital attacker” to delegitimize Trump’s presidency and damage Republicans, and partnering with Facebook to combat “fake news.”

Did this diabolical strategy work? UNFAILINGLY!

Media Matters boasted then that it had “access to raw data from Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites” so they could “systemically monitor and analyze this unfiltered data.”

Brock’s memo also says Media Matters gave Google “the information necessary to identify 40 of the worst fake new sites” so they could be banned from Google’s advertising network.

Yeah, tell me about it. Now we have Joe Biden. Russia’s invading Ukraine. Gas is close to $5 a gallon, even more in some cities. Hyper inflation is near. There are 2 million new illegal aliens in the country.

Our free elections are gone. Our free press is gone. We lost them both. You can’t have one without the other.

I’m not here to say I told you so. I’m here to try to equip you for the titanic effort to bring those two freedoms back.

Here’s what you can do to help WND and, literally, save the nation.

Yep, he’s blaming Media Matters — and, by extension, George Soros — for basically running WND out of business. Never mind that if WND had committed to publishing facts and acted responsibly instead of embracing conspiracy theories and fake news, it might not be going down the tubes as we speak. But then, Farah remains in denial mode about the impending demise of WND.

(Disclosure: We used to work for Media Matters, and Farah hates us for that, among many other reasons.)
