(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In an alarming new development that is certain to boost the already mighty leftist propaganda across the nation, the Biden-Harris administration has granted a rapid approval of a George Soros-linked nonprofit’s acquisition of 200 radio stations ahead of the 2024 election.
Republican lawmakers are investigating the FCC’s expedited review process, alleging favoritism towards Soros.
The decision may influence millions of American listeners before the upcoming election.
The acquisition involves radio stations previously held by the bankrupt media company Audacy Inc.
House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) have launched a probe into the FCC’s actions.
They argue that the FCC is bypassing standard procedures to expedite the deal for a Soros-backed entity focused on progressive causes.
Republicans express outrage over the potential politicization of the FCC, accusing it of using shortcuts to favor George Soros.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr voiced his concern, stating, “It seems to me that the FCC is poised to create, for the first time, an entirely new shortcut.”
The bypassing of usual protocols has amplified fears of an agenda-driven takeover, Fox News reports.
This controversial move benefits Audacy, in which Soros’ company Soros Fund Management is acquiring a significant equity stake.
The lawmakers have requested documents and communications from FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel to assess the actions and their implications.
For the first time, a deal of this magnitude was approved without a national security review, which has alarmed many stakeholders.
“The Democrats in FCC leadership cut a secret, backroom deal—one that kept the Republican FCC Commissioners and perhaps others completely in the dark—and then hustled it out the door on a Friday afternoon,” commented FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, cited by The New York Post.
He criticized not only the Soros deal but also the FCC’s decision to delay internet access to rural areas.
He called it “the worst abuse of agency process” in his twelve years at the FCC.
The decision also gave Dish Chairperson Charlie Ergen extra years to bring service to remote communities without public or internal FCC input.
The approval for Soros’ acquisition passed through a partisan vote, with three Democrats in favor and two Republicans against.
This deal allows Soros to potentially reach over 165 million Americans, embedding his progressive agenda in stations that previously hosted conservative shows.
It’s evident that not only did Soros use foreign investment for this bid, but he also requested an exception to the usual review process.
“The FCC is not following its normal process for reviewing a transaction,” Carr concluded.
