The link in the floating box (?) on the right to Conspiracy Theories is broken and should point to #Conspiracy_theories_and_threats instead. Consti (talk) 03:54, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Biased article

This article needs to discuss criticism of Soros of which there is a lot and not just from the right. This is a man who collapses national economies - the polar opposite of a philanthropist, since such actions create poverty and put people out of work.

I expect some Soros apologist will try and have this comment deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:4c8:141a:a1b4:1:1:c0ac:1162 (talk • contribs) 01:40, 11 February 2019 UTC (UTC)

Then get off your ass and find the RSes that cover this "criticism". Until then, you're just pissing in the wind with comments like this. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 13:26, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There has been 48 separate editors over the history of this page that have called for more balance, particularly a criticism section. Approx 123 different RS material has been posted anyone can find 10,000 more merely by searching his name. Four editors have over ridden the 48 since the inception of this page. There is no editing this page unless cleared by the left wing cabal. But hey it sure is fun pretending otherwise and duping these poor folks into actually trying it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.224.251.239 (talk) 04:47, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"left wing cabal". The talking points of FOX 'news' strike again. Its a stale routine (yawn). Try something else like facts. May make all the difference. Best.Resnjari (talk) 05:12, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If only you folks were actually important enough to make Fox news. MIT cited the problems with WP including that one. Maybe it will show up on #fakenews for you soon. Try addressing the facts-there are 10 pages of arch9ives of editors calling for a criticism section and more balance here along with the RS material to support it. Yet, the same four gate keepers keeps it off the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.224.251.239 (talk) 08:57, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If its facts your after, a wiki page on the conspiracy theories that mainly the right wing, not just in the US but around the world peddles on Soros is the way to go here. On criticism it depends what it is about. If its coming from the usual conspiracy driven hype, then the talkpaghe can grew to 20 archives, you wont see that fringe (however widely it is believed as 'fact' by certain parts of the political divide) in the article.Resnjari (talk) 09:35, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

George Soros Bankrolls Democrats’ Fight in Voting Rights Cases-A Democratic legal fight against restrictive voting laws enacted in recent years by Republican-controlled state governments is being largely paid for by a single liberal benefactor: the billionaire philanthropist George Soros.-https://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/06/05/bankroller-of-democratic-voting-rights-cases-george-soros/?

It must not be notable that one guy is largely bankrolling the entire effort against voter ID laws in the US.


George Soros' quiet overhaul of the U.S. justice system-While America’s political kingmakers inject their millions into high-profile presidential and congressional contests, Democratic mega-donor George Soros has directed his wealth into an under-the-radar 2016 campaign to advance one of the progressive movement’s core goals — reshaping the American justice system. He contributed a total of $9.6 million to defeat white Republican male DAs in particular, and replace them with minorities. The billionaire financier has channeled more than $3 million into seven local district-attorney campaigns in six states over the past year — a sum that exceeds the total spent on the 2016 presidential campaign by all but a handful of rival super-donors. He won five of them. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/george-soros-criminal-justice-reform-227519

It just must be notable that the guy is overhauling the US justice system.

Billionaire George Soros put even more money into supporting the winning campaign of Larry Krasner for Philadelphia district attorney than the $1.4 million previously reported. Final campaign reports show Soros dropped another $211,000 late in the game, bringing his total spending on behalf of Krasner to nearly $1.7 million. For some perspective, that’s more than five times as much as Krasner himself spent — and nearly 30 percent of all the spending in the seven-candidate primary. https://whyy.org/articles/soros-weighed-in-with-even-more-money-in-das-race/ public tadio-rs.

The Bizarre Media Blackout Of Hacked George Soros Documents Leaked documents released a few days ago provide juicy insider details of how a fabulously rich businessman has been using his money to influence elections in Europe, underwrite an extremist group, target U.S. citizens who disagreed with him, dictate foreign policy, and try to sway a Supreme Court ruling, among other things. Pretty compelling stuff, right?

Not if it involves leftist billionaire George Soros. In this case, the mainstream press couldn't care less.

On Saturday, a group called DC Leaks posted more than 2,500 documents going back to 2008 that it pilfered from Soros' Open Society Foundations' servers. Since then, the mainstream media have shown zero interest in this gold mine of information.

We couldn't find a single story on the New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, CBS News other major news sites that even noted the existence of these leaked documents, let alone reported on what's in them. Oh no it's an opinion piece that must mean that these hacked memos don't exist as the fake news media chose not to cover it. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/the-bizarre-media-blackout-of-hacked-george-soros-documents/ Investors which is Investors Business Daily is RS.

it just must not be notable that thousands of hacked memos were leaked detailing his influence and the fae news media didn't think it was newsworthy.

There are only 10,000 more from bankrolling anti brexit to Hungary declaring him a national threat to his $25million to the HRC campaign. This is just from the last 3yrs.

Real non existent boogeyman of the right wing's imagination. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.224.251.239 (talk) 09:48, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
