Democrat-Controlled FCC Fast-Tracks Soros' Acquisition of Over 220 Radio Stations, Reaching 165 Million Americans
Sep 24, 2024, 03:23 PM
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has expedited the approval process for George Soros' acquisition of over 220 radio stations across 40 markets in the United States. This decision, made just weeks before the upcoming November presidential election, allows Soros' media portfolio to expand significantly, potentially reaching 165 million Americans. The FCC's fast-tracking of this purchase bypassed the usual national security review, which could have taken up to a year to complete. The commission's decision was made in a 3-2 vote along party lines, with the Democrat-controlled FCC voting in favor. This move marks the first time in FCC history that such a process has been expedited in this manner. The acquisition is being managed by Soros Fund Management, raising concerns about foreign influence in the U.S. media landscape.
