This year’s edition of the Media Research Center’s dirty war against George Soros continued with a Feb. 26 post by Curtis Houck cheering how the MRC’s favorite non-Fox News dude, Scott Jennings, was allegedly “schooling liberal panelists on unelected bureaucrats running the country and liberals being “collect[ed] like Pokemon cards” by liberal billionaire George Soros.” Joseph Vazquez continued his obsession with the donations Soros makes in a March 4 post:
New MRC revelations that George Soros’s own global university that he founded was getting American tax dollars completely fly in the face of his organization’s attempts to dismiss any perceived connections with the disgraced U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
“The claims that the Open Society Foundations (OSF), founded by George Soros, receive funding from USAID or direct the funding of a multibillion-dollar U.S. government agency are manifestly false,” railed OSF in a February 12 press release.
OSF attempted to play the victim, and pontificated that reporting connecting USAID and the OSF apparatus are “part of a broader effort to undermine international development work and delegitimize the independent funding of civil society organizations worldwide.”
“Independent funding?” What a joke.
Vazquez also touted how “Bongino Report Content Manager Matt Palumbo ripped apart OSF’s gaslighting on USAID.” He failed to mention that we busted Palumbo over his moonlighting for shady Chinese criminal billionaire Guo Wengui by writing pro-Guo editorials that were given paid placement in various right-wing publications like WorldNetDaily and Gateway Pundit.
Houck returned to rail in a March 31 post:
The “Big Three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were fired up Monday morning with coverage of Tuesday’s Wisconsin state Supreme Court election and predictably were apoplectic over Elon Musk’s tens of millions of dollars spent to help elect conservative Brad Schimel, but only CBS cared to mention liberal Susan Crawford has her own billionaire donors in Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) and George Soros.
In fact, Crawford accepted only $2 million from Soros, while Musk donated more than $20 million to aid Schimel in the race.
