Here\u2019s the truth. The real purpose of the \u2018paid protester\u2019 myth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When you click through, you\u2019re brought to a \u201cfact check\u201d of a claim from Candace Owens that Soros is \u201cfunding the chaos\u201d in Minneapolis via the Open Society Foundations (this comment was during the 2020 George Floyd riots).<\/p>\n<p>In the article, PolitiFact\u2019s Fact checker Emily Venezky predictably rated Owens\u2019 claim \u201cfalse\u201d while admitting that Soros donated $33 million to organizations \u201cthat have worked with Black Lives Matter or worked to raise awareness during the Ferguson-related protests.\u201d Venezky then tries to hedge that admission by stating \u201cHowever, they had never given money to groups for the express purpose of organizing protests with the movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the article seems to only serve to try to downplay the role of Soros in degrading law and order in the U.S., Whether or not Soros is funding protesters in the exact manner in the exact city that Candace is stating is almost irrelevant when we\u2019re talking about a man that has spent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/report-soros-spent-40-million-to-elect-75-social-justice-prosecutors\">$40 million funding<\/a> over 70 far-left prosecutors nationwide, all of which implement soft-in-crime policies and favor defunding police departments.<\/p>\n<p>George Soros\u2019 Open Society Institute openly praised PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, and the Washington Post fact checker, describing such sites as the few bright spots\u201d in the media landscape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"denied:related:%20Biden%20Awards%20Soros-Linked%20Group%20$41M%20Contract%20to%20Help%20Illegals%20Escape%20Deportation\"><strong>RELATED: Biden Awards Soros-Linked Group $41M Contract to Help Illegals Escape Deportation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Palumbo <a href=\"https:\/\/bongino.com\/inside-the-sorosification-of-the-so-called-fact-checking-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">continues<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>Earlier this year, George Soros and fellow leftist billionaire Reid Hoffman (known for co-founding LinkedIn) founded the hilariously Orwellian-named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2021\/10\/26\/soros-hoffman-disinformation-tara-mcgowan\">\u201cGood Information Inc.\u201d<\/a> The company has the stated mission of \u201ctackling misinformation\u201d (which they\u2019ll presumably do by spreading misinformation), and is led by former Democratic strategist Tara McGowan, whose firm \u201cACRONYM\u201d was known for epically botching running the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/tech\/app-iowa-caucus-chaos\"> 2020 Iowa caucus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His faux fact checking network is already extensive abroad.<\/p>\n<p>As the Hungarian publication <a href=\"https:\/\/rmx.news\/article\/exclusive-george-soros-funds-8-out-of-11-of-facebook-s-fact-checking-organizations-in-central-and-eastern-europe\/\">Remix<\/a> documented, as of mid-2020 of the 11 Facebook-approved fact checking organizations for Central and Eastern Europe, 8 are funded by Soros. As is the case for the U.S., these fact checking groups are largely critical of the political right in those countries.<\/p>\n<p>In Poland, Facebook partnered with a fact checker called \u201cDemagog,\u201d which is funded by the Batory Foundation, a Polish NGO founded by Soros.<\/p>\n<p>A Czech version of Demagog handles fact checking in the Czech Republic and admits on the FAQ section of their website to taking money from Soros\u2019 Open Society Foundation.<br \/>Facebook picked \u201cRe:Baltica\u201d as their fact checker for Lithuania, which lists funding from the OSF (and other Soros-backed orgs, such as the ironically named \u201cOrganized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project\u201d) on the bottom of their website\u2019s homepage.<\/p>\n<p>The OSF-backed \u201cRaskrinkavanje\u201d handles fact checking for Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro. The fact checking project also receives funding from the Embassy of the U.S. in Bosnia &#038; Herzegovina. Another Soros-backed fact checker to also receive U.S. funding from the U.S. embassy in that country (and also the U.K.\u2019s embassy) is GONG, which handles fact checking for Facebook in Croatia.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the OSF-funded Vistinomer handles fact checking for Macedonia, while the OSF-funded Stop Fake, which was also founded with the assistance of the OSF, is in charge of Ukraine.<br \/>For nearly the entirety of Central and Eastern Europe, Soros-backed groups have a virtual monopoly on fact checking.<\/p>\n<p>And we\u2019re just getting started.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Palumbo\u2019s explosive book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Man-Behind-Curtain-Inside-Network\/dp\/163758332X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cMan Behind the Curtain: Inside the Secret Network of George Soros\u201d <\/a>is available now.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire George Soros is known for funding a lot of left-wing activities, one of them being the \u201cfact-checking industry,\u201d or in other words, a system to discredit any counter-narrative to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1894587,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1686946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1686946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1686946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1686946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1894587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1686946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1686946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1686946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
