For those of you who didn't read all the article - these 2 paragraphs caught my eye:

"One possible reason for the gentle media coverage of Soros is the influence that Soros exercises over media groups through his money. Our report noted Soros' contributions to the Project on Media Ownership, the Independent Media Institute, the Center for Investigative Reporting, the Fund for Investigative Journalism, Investigative Reporters & Editors, and MediaChannel.org.
Soros has always exercised influence over so-called campaign finance reform groups.

Those groups were behind the McCain-Feingold bill to reform campaign spending that also put limits on the ability of independent groups to influence political races. The law included a loophole that allowed Soros to spend more than $20 million to defeat Bush."


Now I understand why McCain has been in trouble for taking $150,000 from Soros' Open Society.

I didn't know this. Perhaps it's one more reason for which many people don't fully trust John McCain. He sometimes behaves like a liberal Democrat. I've never been able to comprehend what makes John McCain tick.
