George Soros Buys Up 200 Radio Stations Ahead of Election Day, Republicans Sound Alarm

George Soros’ latest move is a massive power grab for the airwaves.

Turns out the federal government gave the green light for Soros to snag Audacy, a media giant with 200+ radio stations.

Nothing to see here.

Sen. Tom Cotton sent a letter to the jewish Chairwoman of the FCC, Jessica Rosenworcel, demanding she clarify what’s going on.

Well, she’s only fast-tracking the deal just weeks before the election. “It’s standard procedure.”

Yeah, sure it is.

So, now Republicans are concerned over Soros’ expanding influence.

And on top of that, we now have to keep an eye on the FCC. It seems their loyalty is in question.

But I’m sure this is just a coincidence? Yeah, sure.

Breitbart reports:

Republicans are up in arms over liberal megadonor George Soros’s increasing stranglehold of the media landscape, even while some conservatives ask why Republican donors are not adopting similar outside-the-box tactics to shape public opinion.

The anti-Soros fervor has been reanimated by a federal government fast-track of Soros’s purchase of Audacy, a massive media empire housing more than 200 radio stations in 40 markets.

Breitbart News exclusively reported on a letter from Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel on October 10 demanding answers on the commission expediting a Soros-back nonprofit’s purchase of Audacy just weeks before Election Day, sounding the alarm on the FCC for bypassing a national security review necessary for purchases on that scale financed by foreign funds.

Other Republicans, including lawmakers Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), have sounded the alarm on the FCC’s decision — reportedly a 3-2 decision made along party lines.

But the FCC is unlikely to reverse its decision, and conservatives are concerned with the purchase’s impact on the tight 2024 election and beyond as Soros increases his reach.

“What you now have is a left-wing Looney Tune who has access to millions of people in every market in the United States of America,” David D. Smith, the executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group media conglomerate, told Gabe Kaminsky of the Washington Examiner. “That’s scary.”

Soros, a billionaire boogeyman for conservatives who has successfully funneled a fortune towards radical liberal causes and politicians, is at the peak of his influence. Some conservatives worry that the 94-year-old’s mission he will continue through his son, 38-year-old Alex Soros.

“This is not a flash in the pan. Soros is power hungry, and the more they can centralize communication, the more they can control the public square, the more they are going to do it,” Mark Levin told the Examiner.

Most conservatives would likely agree the FCC’s decision reeks of politics and that, beyond traditional talk radio, conservatives have been underrepresented or even unfairly persecuted in the media.

One conservative channeled Breitbart News founder Andrew Breitbart in calling for conservatives to think outside the box. The Examiner reports:

“What is the art of the conservative billionaire?” Scott Walter asked. “Soros, by contrast, makes big investments like this huge radio play. If conservative donors don’t invest more, the damage to our country’s culture will only worsen.”

RadioInk adds:

FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has responded to the US House Committee on Oversight and Accountability investigation regarding the Commission’s alleged “fast-track” approval of Audacy’s ownership deal involving ties to billionaire George Soros.

Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) sent a letter to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel in September, requesting documents and communications about the FCC’s handling of the case, questioning if the expedited decision was politically motivated.

On September 30, the FCC announced it had approved, in a 3-2 vote, Laurel Tree Opportunities Corporation’s acquisition of about 40% of Audacy’s senior debt as it sought to exit Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Laurel Tree is managed by the Soros-funded Fund for Policy Reform.

In her response, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel outlined the Commission’s actions to facilitate the transfer of control and assignment of licenses, allowing Audacy to emerge from bankruptcy.

Chair Rosenworcel noted that the Transfer of Control process mirrors the FCC’s handling of similar cases, including the bankruptcy proceedings of Cumulus Media, iHeartMedia, and Alpha Media. She writes, “The standard practice of the agency here and in these prior cases is designed to facilitate the prompt and orderly emergence from bankruptcy of a company that is a licensee under the Communications Act.”

What do you think?

Is this just “standard practice”?

Or is this just another case of nepotism?
