The U.S. government’s international broadcasting agency says it will discipline employees responsible for a television report on philanthropist George Soros that violated its professional ethics and standards. […]

The report on Soros aired in May on Spanish-language Radio Television Marti network, which broadcasts to Cuba.

It described him as a “Jewish multi-millionaire” influencing nations through non-government groups.

It referenced the conservative organization Judicial Watch as believing he was undermining democracies. …

Just who is the “US Agency for Global Media” and how do they have any powers to “punish” anyone?

I’m on a mobile device.
The page loads in, then suddenly says “page not available”.
Possible some shenanigans going on.
Or, it could just be mobile incompatibility.

No real reason to add “Jewish” to the the multi millionaire statement but hardly a reason to investigate.

i’m sure Trump has been slammed many, many times as a Christian multi millionaire.

But i’m guessing the Jewish folks, even conservative, are always wary of a backlash and it would seem that history has given them reason for concern about statement like this.

Leave it out next time guys. Being Jewish has nothing to do with what makes Soros a monster.

The only relevance it truly has is in conjunction with the interview he did where he gleefully and animatedly describes his collaboration with the third Reich.
It shows how he stabbed everyone in the back, rejected his heritage, and only now wants to wrap himself in said heritage and claim victimhood.
Otherwise, saying that he is a scumbag of questionable parentage and upbringing suits purposes fine.
(No, I don’t have the video of the interview. But it is a doozy!)

I know the story well and he is a disgusting animal for that.

one wonders how he got started on his way to riches.

I have no idea.

But it would be ironic if some fascist money was involved.

I’ve said before that liberal Jews, who aren’t billionaires who can afford the best protection money can buy, are the most abused spouses in the world.

The left HATES them yet they go 70 percent for the left in elections.

Well, we probably can say we know where some of the fabled “Nazi gold” went.

Yes, that is quite a mystery to me as well.
Never understood why.

I am not well read on the subject at all, but it seems VERY MAJOR financing was needed to help so many nazis escape to South America and set up new lives.

I would not be surprised if helpers of the cause got a few bucks (or more than a few) also.

Odd how Soros wasn’t COMPLETELY ostracized at every turn, being that the ONE thing liberal and conservative Jews can agree upon is the horror of the nazis and hatred for anyone who helped them

Seems insane on the face of it.
Yet there he is, and the mossad didn’t liquidate him like they did other known collaborators.
Wonder why they didn’t.

so they should have said “multi-billionaire” not “multi-millionaire”?

Maybe he made his money fast enough to buy off enough people to ensure his safety.

Sounds like they have no power whatsoever according to wiki. I wonder just who this CEO John F Lansing is that got his panties wadded up?

"The board of the BBG currently has only an advisory role; it previously supervised BBG media networks directly, but was replaced with a single appointed chief executive officer as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, which was passed in December 2016.[4][5][6][7]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Agency_for_Global_Media

Or possibly someone calling the shots thinks he could be an asset.
Why?
Well, dumber ideas were floated.
Germany in WWI sent Vladimir ilych Lenin to Russia to stir up trouble because they thought he could be an asset.
Worked out well.
*Groan*
