In a blatant display of political maneuvering, the Biden-Harris administration has hastened George Soros’s purchase of Audacy, a behemoth media conglomerate comprising over 200 radio stations across 40 markets. While Republicans are rightfully outraged, one can’t help but wonder why rich Republicans aren’t following suit in utilizing similar out-of-the-box strategies to sway public opinion.
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) recently took to his pen, sending an urgent letter to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel on October 10. He demanded clarity on why the commission expedited this deal with a Soros-backed nonprofit mere weeks before Election Day. How can we trust an agency that seems ready to bypass national security reviews for foreign-funded purchases?
Other Republicans like Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) have joined the chorus decrying this politically charged decision — which was allegedly made along party lines in a troubling 3-2 vote.
But let’s face it; nobody expects the FCC to reverse course here. As Soros extends his reach deeper into media just as we approach what promises to be a tight race in 2024, conservatives are understandably concerned about what this means for our political landscape.
“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,” said David D. Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group. “That’s scary.”
Indeed it is! For too long, conservative voices have been marginalized or outright persecuted within mainstream media channels—something only amplified by moves like these from unaccountable billionaires wielding their financial power without remorse.
Yet there appears little unity among conservatives regarding how best to respond. Some propose that megadonors should mimic Soros’s aggressive investment strategies rather than relying solely on traditional methods that leave them vulnerable and unheard.
Scott Walter—the president of Capital Research Center—echoes sentiments reminiscent of late journalist Andrew Breitbart when he asked, “What is the art of the conservative billionaire?”
He further emphasizes, “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.”
The reality remains stark; money talks but so does influence through diverse platforms—and trusting adversarial outlets isn’t viable for effectively disseminating conservative messages either.
Don’t wait for a stock market crash, dedollarization, or CBDCs before securing your retirement with physical precious metals. Genesis Gold Group can help.
David D. Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group, said, “There are four places where you can have a voice in today’s marketplace: internet, radio, TV and newspaper.
“So the simple question is if I was standing in front of every billionaire in United States right now I would say ‘Do you want to have a voice put out your philosophical perspective?’”
“If the answer is yes, then OK here’s how do that. They have decide: Do they really want just sit their money put it nonprofit someplace? And then they lament fact Democrats control everything.”
For now at least many conservative benefactors still cling tightly onto hopes pinned upon Washington politicians fighting valiantly for their agenda—a misguided notion given how often these elected representatives seem all too willing to capitulate under liberal pressure instead of making principled stands against such encroachments as those brought forth by George Soros.
As disillusionment mounts among frustrated conservatives watching yet another election cycle unfold under unfavorable media circumstances, perhaps it’s time they look towards embracing winning plays rather than remaining content merely playing defense.
