The Media Tentacles of Ameri-phobe George Soros
Censorship comes riding in on many a dark horse. On one horse rides anal-retentive little Napoleons like Richard Warman, commanding the imperious storm troopers manning the Canadian “Human Rights” Commission. Other horses steal in bearing very powerful men, men who have deemed themselves guardians of the media gate, deciding what the masses are permitted to see and read and think. Men intent upon shaping the world according to their suffocating utopian vision. Men apparently so frightened of American power and exceptionalism that they are willing to spill treasure, perpetrate treason, and deploy millions solely to eradicate it. Obama supporter George Soros is singing in Jeremiah Wright’s choir.
Let’s sing it one more time. “God Damn America”.
If the Warmans of the world are noisome mosquitoes sucking at the blood of freedom, gluttonous men like George Soros are the cannibals gorging wholesale on the flesh, smirking lips dripping with the blood of their gore while their leftist minions wince and whine about Rupert Murdoch and the oh-so radical right wing.
Not too many commentators seem to have noticed that George Soros is slowly but surely becoming the mainstream media that is the focus of the analysis we do at NewsBusters. The liberal billionaire-turned-philanthropist has been buying up media properties for years in order to drive home his message to the American public that they are too materialistic, too wasteful, too selfish, and too stupid to decide for themselves how to run their own lives.
As Capital Research Center (my employer) reported in a recent paper, three years ago Soros acquired 2.6 million shares of the huge diversified media company Time Warner. In 2006 his companies, Soros Strategic Partners and Dune Capital Management, paid $900 million to buy the DreamWorks SKG film library from Viacom, a move that gave Soros the DVD and rebroadcasting rights to films such as Saving Private Ryan (1998), Gladiator (2000), and American Beauty (1999). As James Hirsen noted, the transaction gives Soros “some highly desirable film rights at a time when the marketing and distribution model is changing to video on demand, video iPods and other forms of digital distribution.” But more importantly, it gives Soros “a presence in Hollywood where likeminded libs are ready, willing and able to collaborate in cinematic social engineering.” Soros is also a funder, whether directly or indirectly, of Media Matters for America, the reflexively liberal noise machine and pretended media watchdog whose modus operandi is to mau-mau the media into mouthing the politically correct platitudes that pass for profound insights on the far left.
Soros is also venturing into media overseas. Earlier this year Soros Fund Management plunked down $100 million for 3% of India’s Reliance Entertainment, a $3 billion conglomerate that aims to provide Internet-based TV programs in India. Reliance also churns out movies and owns movie houses, radio stations and social networking websites in the country with one of the fastest growing economies in the world. When in the 1980s Soros set up offices in Eastern Europe for his philanthropy, the Open Society Institute (OSI), he helped to finance publishers, independent TV and radio outlets, and political parties.
Soros has long been a player in Hollywood. As Rondi Adamson reported in “George Soros, Movie Mogul: ‘Social Justice’ Cinema and the Sundance Institute,” (Foundation Watch, March 2008), OSI has been underwriting “social justice” documentaries since 1996, and in 2001 Soros let actor-director Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute take over his Soros Documentary Fund (since rechristened the Soros/Sundance Documentary Fund).
