Soros: “Fox Can’t be Neutralized”
Far-left financier George Soros came to Washington, D.C. yesterday to deliver a speech on a wide range of topics. In doing so he may have cheered up conservative while disheartening liberals when he said that Fox News can’t be neutralized:
After his speech at Cato, Soros dismissed as “a sideshow” departing Fox News host Glenn Beck, who hosted a three-part series attacking Soros as a puppet-master. But Soros asserted that Beck’s departure from Fox this month “hasn’t changed anything at Fox really.” He explained that his grants to Media Matters were an effort to hold Fox accountable, but he stressed that media slant on both sides is a problem that adds to the polarization of the national discourse.
“Neutralizing” Fox can’t be accomplished he said, “because it has an audience. But I think holding its feet to the fire is appropriate. Not only for Fox (but) the other side also in so far as they use techniques which are deceptive.”
Maybe Soros can convey that message to the far-left Media Matters, to which he has given $1.1 million, and which only last month declared a “war” on Fox News. While Soros says he thinks that holding Fox’s feet to the fire is appropriate, Media Matters announced that their campaign will include “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” against the network, its anchors and even Rupert Murdoch.
That certainly goes well beyond trying to expose any deceptive techniques (as seen in their eyes) that Soros referred to.
Soros’ statement is further proof that no matter how hard the liberals and far left try, and how much money they spend, they won’t achieve their goal of bringing Fox down or even neutralizing the network. If they want to waste their time and energy on such a fruitless pursuit, that’s just fine with me.

Oh really, Mr. Soros. We know that your friend Ted Turner of Time Warner criticized FOX News in January 2005. Let us also not forget that there are several people who work at Time Warner who also work for News Corp. They are Adam Alexander, Adam Lashinsky, Nina Easton, Leigh Gallagher, Larry McReynolds, Dick Stockton, Ralph Sheheen, Pam Oliver, Kyle Petty, Matt Yocum, Joe Buck, and Bernard Goldberg. What sort of conditioning have they been given by Dr. Sanjay Gupta of CNN? Whose side are they on?
I wonder if Soros can’t be neutered….er I mean neutralized.
what ever he may think soros is merely a mortal human, he will one day die as all men do. fox is a corporation and so almost immortal as long as they continue to please their stockholders and audience. soros will pass, and his fortune be divided, and fox will remain when he is forgotten.
Now why dont soros just pack up his millions pack his bags sell his mansions and leave america and never come back ever again
Anyone who believes for a minute that Leftists in power cannot neutralize or destroy opposing media outlets doesn’t know much about history. Or do you figure Isvestia and Pravda were neutral news organizations? Where is the Cuban FNC? How would you like to be a centrist journalist in Venezuela right now? Nice gig? With the Fairness Doctrine and Internet Neutrality already on the O’bwana agenda, I wouldn’t be investing in Newscorp stock right now. And who’d believe George Soros if he said the sun will rise in the east tomorrow anyhow????
When Beck leaves Fox,,the PRO-Left will have a big party & say it’s some ones BD or some other LIE ,,but they will all know why they are there. It was Beck that was a constant thorn in the side of the PRO-Left,,exposing them for all of their Marxist Communist leanings & teachings in our Gov’t & schools. Some one will have to pick up the mantle of truth against these Marxist swine,,,& I hope at Fox without missing a beat.
Soros can also be ‘neutralized’,,,the old fashioned way,,,a .22 cal. behind the ear in the Mastoid cavity of his brain. All done,no muss,no fuss
I say that in jest,,,& then,,,maybe not. Maybe that is what we need,,a violent uprising sooner or later ,,before it is all gone,,,& we are like Europe,,,or taken over by China. Just stock up on all you need ,,food,,water,gas,,& the means to defend it all before some Czar ‘outlaws’ it all,,so ‘they’ can survive & we do not,,,OK????
Hey, this is just more PROOF, how SICK this freak IS!!!! and why Congress hasn’t had him investigated is beyond me, simple soros IS nothing but an INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL and he sleeps with the person who is in MY Whitehouse!!! bo if nothing else should be charged with conspiracy with a criminal!!!!
