Decision ‘Against Free Speech’: Soros Acquisition of Over 200 Radio Stations Fast-Tracked by FCC
Leftist billionaire and Democratic mega-donor George Soros has been leaning on the Democrat-controlled Federal Communications Commission for months in hopes of fast-tracking his group’s acquisition of over 200 radio stations in over 40 markets — including stations that run shows from Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Erick Erickson, Sean Hannity, and Dana Loesch.

On Wednesday (9/24/24), the FCC reportedly adopted an order to approve the purchase, meaning that in a matter of days, Soros will likely take control of communications to over 165 million Americans with the help of unvetted foreign investors whom Democrats have spared from the FCC’s customary national security review process.
National syndicated radio host and Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck asked Trump-appointed FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr Tuesday about the Democratic FCC commissioners’ apparent willingness to cosign Soros’ latest play for narrative dominance.
Carr made clear that “it’s an unprecedented decision for the commission” that would not have alternatively been accepted were Soros a partisan of another stripe — a decision that comes amid a broader “weaponization of government power … against free speech.”
