George Soros and the Press

by Mark5019 Apr 17, 2005 12:42PM PDT

Last fall, in our report on George Soros, we noted that "The media consistently ignore the fact that this so-called 'philanthropist' has had several brushes with the law," including a conviction in France for insider trading. On March 24, that insider trading conviction was upheld. The Washington Post gave the story one paragraph on page 2 of the Business Section of the paper. By contrast, the story was on page one of the first section of the Washington Times.

This is the perfect opportunity for our media to finally start examining this billionaire's business and financial connections. Remember this is the man who tried to buy the White House for John Kerry. SorosMonitor.com, an educational initiative of the DAMMADD organization, is not waiting for the media. Dads and Mad Moms Against Drug Dealers launched the site because of the millions of dollars Soros is pouring into the cause of drug legalization.

and you say the media isnt biased
what a crock havent seen this in the news wonder why

That would be for them biting the hand that feeds them. It goes from Soros to Dean to the DNC.

I think it?s mostly because ?George Soros? Who cares? he?s mostly irrelevant to American politics. I just have to chuckle every time I think about how much of his own money he spent backing JF?nK .
