Dem-majority FCC helping George Soros fast-track takeover of nationwide radio network: ‘This is scary’
Soros, 93, pumped $400 million into Audacy in February, a network which reaches 165 million monthly listeners and includes a handful of conservative shows from hosts including Sean Hannity, Dana Loesch, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and Erick Erickson.
But their influence is likely to be muted if the billionaire takes over and imposes his agenda, as has happened with other media acquisitions.
The FCC should not be skipping steps or waiving required agency processes.” Roy had earlier written the Soros group would usually petition to get its foreign funding sources vetted by the FCC first, but that they are trying to waive that process and put it off “until sometime down the road — indicating that those foreign stakeholders will be given ‘special warrants’ in the meantime,”
Acquisition would be of minimal value to Soros if it doesn’t close before the election – election interference if the waiver is granted by FCC.
I would guess those 165 million monthly listeners are really about ten million repeat customers, and that cast of deep state phoney conservatives would be thrilled to break bread with the Hungarian nazi.
