After all the hate and hostility the Media Research Center spewed at George Soros during the 2024 election, we’re still not done compiling it all:
- An Aug. 21 post by Tim Kilcullen tried to manufacture a controversy by predicting that Illinois district attorney Kim Foxx, “a Soros-funded extremist” an “a radical leftist activist,” would let protesters at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago get away with their crimes, with MRC executive Dan Schneider chiming in, “she is more likely to charge the police officers who have sworn to uphold the law than to go after the rioters who have vowed to break the law.” In fact, at least 74 protesters were arrested, and the MRC never brought this failed, discredited talking point up again.
- An Aug. 22 post by Michael Morris once again played gotcha with the ChatGPT AI engine, being angry that it recommended credible media outlets — which he dishonestly portrayed as ” leftist sources” that were “promoting the leftist narrative” — when asked about the MRC’s recent obsession with “Soros-funded prosecutors.” whining that ChatGPT “didn’t include numbers from Capital Research Center, The Blaze or the Media Research Center, three organizations known for their exhaustive Soros research.” Morris refused to apply a partisan — and accurate — right-wing political label to those outlets, even though he nonsensically labeled the New York Times and Washington Post “leftist” despite offering no evidence whatsoever of purported bias on the issue.
- Joseph Vazquez whined in a Sept. 25 post that a Soros-funded think tank “pathetically attempted to swat down opponents of the Biden-Harris unrealized capital gains tax proposal for the 2025 budget,” offering only rote right-wing talking points against the proposal.
- When people pointed out how Elon Musk has meddled in politics and effectively bought himself a president, Jorge Bonilla played Soros whataboutism in a Nov. 19 post: “Likewise, no one gives a rip that Dauphin Prince Alex Soros routinely posts pictures of himself with captured Democrat [sic] politicians, in a manner reminiscent of a big game hunter posing with his trophies. Soros isn’t a problem, either.” Bonilla didn’t explain why he has no problem with Musk when he’s paid to be outraged about Soros for doing the same thing.
Kilcullen returned for a Nov. 25 post gloating that some of the DAs the MRC worked hard to demonize by manufacturing a link to Soros earlier in the year lost re-election:
The district attorney who refused to seek the maximum sentence for Laken Riley’s killer is one of three Soros prosecutors to lose reelection this month.
District Attorney (DA) Deborah Gonzalez of Georgia’s Western Judicial Circuit, who made headlines for her soft treatment of convicted murderer Jose Ibarra, lost her reelection to challenger Kalki Yalamanchili by over 75 percent of the vote. Gonzalez was an active member of the organization Fair & Just Prosecution (FJP), a leftist advocacy group funded by billionaire George Soros, which dictates both the public policy and private staffing of prosecutorial offices around the country.
FJP’s efforts to hijack American justice were detailed in MRC’s August exposé “How The Soros Machine Directs and Controls Prosecutors Across America to Implement His Leftist Agenda.”
Gonzalez was joined in defeat by fellow FJP members George Gascon (DA of Los Angeles County) and Pamela Price (DA of Alameda County, which includes Oakland). Gascon and Price were two of the last three remaining members of another Soros group, the censorship-obsessed Prosecutors Alliance of California, which worked closely with Governor Gavin Newsom to push an anti-police and anti-free speech agenda. Their defeat has dealt a crushing blow to the organization and the Soros Machine backing it. Contra Costa County DA Diana Becton remains, and is arguably now California’s most radically left-wing prosecutor.
Of course, Kilcullen and his MRC co-workers think anyone who’s not as far-right as they are is “radically left-wing.” Kilcullen concluded by cheering how Musk will use his media platforms to spread right-wing narratives:
Remaining Soros prosecutors like Becton face a new foe in tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. Musk has pledged to use his patriotic advocacy group America PAC to further combat Soros’s influence over America’s justice system.
“Something has to be done to kind of counter the damage that Soros has done to the American system,” Musk pledged in an election day video uploaded on his social media platform, X. “America PAC’s going [t] aim to weigh in heavily on the midterms and intermediate elections, as well as just doing common sense stuff like having DAs who prosecute violent criminals who are obviously a danger to people.”
Isn’t this the same sort of election interference the MRC routinely accused owners of other social media platforms of doing? Pretty much. Also note that Kilcullen is now rebranding right-wing activism as “patriotic.”
