For an April 26 article, WorldNetDaily copy-and-pasted a George Soros-bashing item it stole from the New York Post:
George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country. The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide.
Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.
As we pointed out when the Media Research Center did the same thing, the Washington Post debunked the NY Post’s narrative:
[T]he connection between the protests and funding from Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) is so tenuous as to be obviously contrived.One might begin by asking what Soros is theoretically paying for. After all, this is just kids setting up tents on a college campus. Is the allegation that Soros is planting students at Columbia University (for example) and fronting the $68,000 tuition?[…]
At no point does the Post article demonstrate how this purported cash has been critical, instead simply listing organizations that have been involved in the protests to some extent and tracing their funding back to OSF.
WND has yet to tell its readers that the Post article has been discredited; it remains live and uncorrected.
