BMI’s Dan Gainor Tells Fox & Friends About Soros Funding to Media Organizations
Media Research Center Vice President for Business and Culture Dan Gainor appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Friday to discuss George Soros’s spending over $48 million to fund media organizations.
“He’s funded the entire underpinnings of America journalism. Here’s a guy who threw $600,000 at the Columbia School of Journalism, probably the most famous name for a school of journalism in the country,” Gainor told Steve Doocy.
During the segment, Gainor discussed Soros’s impact on the media, which is part of an upcoming report by the Media Research Centers Business & Media Institute. He explained the wide range of media outlets that receive Soros funds, which include National Public Radio (to the tune of $1.8 million), the Center for Investigative Reporting, and Pro Publica.

“He’s funding them both as a combination of influencing the media and basically throwing money at the people he agrees with,” Gainor said.
Doocy asked, “CBS, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, NBC and ABC. Dan, whatever happened to the problem with the conflict of interest?”
“Well what happened to it is it’s something that they worry about if conservatives do it and it’s something that they don’t give a darn about if liberals do it,” replied Gainor.

This anti-Christ should be arrested, tried and convicted of being an Economic Terrorist. His family should have all the money taken away and given to the Wounded Warrior project. Then exiled. Georgie should be hanging like Saddam. He's more dangerous than any of those MidEastern boyscouts.....That's for starters with these Progressive Globalists who profess to trying to destroy America....
Exiled where exactly? Who

What's So Bad About Funding Methadone Clinics?
Submitted by TheReal7Sticks on Fri, 05/20/2011 - 6:42pm.
My dad has gone to methadone clinics for the last twenty-five years to treat his drug problem. Are you telling me that George Soro's funding of methadone clinics is some sort of crime against humanity, especially after reading up on his biography? I must be missing something when he he gave money to help the poor and destitute Hungarian people being oppressed by their government. Quite frankly, after learning the truth about him, I would say "God bless George Soros!"
Honestly, you have been reading too many Lyndon LaRouche conspiracy theories. Next thing you're going to tell me is that President Obama was really the alien that probed Sammy Hagar in his ass.

Are you a moron? Do you think God should bless him for helping the Nazis sell the belongings of their Jewish prisoners?

I was trying not to pile-on.
Since the clinics have barely been around for 25yrs, Pop is certainly an example of what a raving success they are.
Like stick like needle I guess.

Yep, the only thing that could possibly be worse if some foreign-born billionaire was to manage to outright OWN a good chunk of American Media. Why, just imagine if Soros actually bought a tv network to push an agenda.. 48 million? It's a drop in the bucket. What if Soros bought the New York Post and lost 48 million every six months? Why would he do it? Just to get his agenda published?
