As part of a plan to permanently shut down Fox News, George Soros has promised to divest the news network of all of its advertisers.
Check My Ads, a Soros-funded organization that targets online news websites that fail to support Democrat talking points, boasts that it has already demonetized Breitbart News and other right-wing websites.
Nandini Jammi, a far-left stooge backed by George Soros and co-founder of Check My Ads, announced the aim to rid the Internet of dissenting viewpoints via Twitter.
“Five years ago, I co-founded the campaign to make Breitbart unprofitable,” Jammi wrote.
“They lost 90% of their ad revenues in 3 months,” she added.
“Today, we’re launching the campaign to take on Fox News — and we know exactly how to get the job done.”
Wnd.com reports: The taxpayer-funded National Public Radio reported the group is “aiming to defund disinformation online” and already has “taken money out of the pockets of several prominent far-right websites.”
The campaign calls on the public to pressure online advertising exchanges to stop doing business with Fox News’ website and its popular YouTube channel.
NPR described conservative media figures Steve Bannon, Glenn Beck and Dan Bongino as “right-wing provocateurs.” And the public broadcaster cited an “analysis” by the left-leaning NewsGuard and ComScore that found, in NPR’s words, “websites peddling disinformation generate more than $2 billion in advertising revenue each year.”
Check My Ads is basing its campaign on the claim that Fox News “encouraged and supported” the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
“Advertisers have said over and over again, ‘We don’t want to fund violence,’ so it’s shocking that Fox News is still receiving these ad dollars,” said co-founder Claire Atkin.
‘Conspiracy theories’
Check My Ads’ chief operating officer Mikel Ellcessor contends that an example of Fox funding violence is Tucker Carlson’s documentary series on Jan. 6 titled “Patriot Purge.”
NPR said the three-part documentary “promoted conspiracy theories about Jan. 6, falsely suggesting the violence was instigated by left-wing activists and calling the rioters ‘political prisoners.’”
“What happens on Fox News television helps fund all of their digital properties,” Ellcessor said. “You don’t get to claim that your hands are free and clean when you put a dollar into the Fox News operation.”
Patriot Purge” presents video and documentary evidence that points to “incitement by federal agents” and the “intentional entrapment of American citizens.”
Investigative reporter Julie Kelly, who has written extensively on the Jan. 6 defendants for American Greatness, is among many who have pointed out that despite the repeated claims that the event was an “armed insurrection” of “white supremacists,” not one person has been charged with carrying or using a firearm inside the Capitol building. The only person who used a firearm inside the Capitol, she noted, was the Capitol Police officer who shot and killed an unarmed female veteran, Ashley Babbitt.
The FBI said in August it had not found evidence that Jan. 6 was the result of an organized plot to overturn the election, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.
Revolver News has reported evidence that FBI informants and Antifa operatives turned a peaceful rally into a riot, spotlighting the role of Arizona man Ray Epps, who was seen on video directing the people who breached the police lines while President Trump was still delivering a speech one mile away. In a follow-up report, Revolver News presented evidence, backed by videos and images, that there were others who worked in tandem with Epps to orchestrate the break-in.
‘No greater threat to democracy’
Fox News issued a statement to NPR calling the Check My Ads “an effort at censorship.”
“There’s no greater threat to democracy than the effort to silence free speech,” Fox News said.
The network said it takes pride in “featuring more dissenting viewpoints on the major issues facing the country than our cable news competitors.”
NPR said Check My Ads is focused on applying public pressure on “the hidden engines of the online advertising world: ad exchanges.”
Operated by companies such as Google and Verizon, the exchanges act as a middlemen between an advertiser and a website.
NPR noted that the exchanges typically “have content rules that say they will not place ads on sites that promotes the overthrow of the government or glorifies violence.”
Google won’t place ads that are “demonstrably false” or could “undermine participation or trust in an electoral or democratic process.”
Ellcessor insists that the exchanges are not following their guidelines, giving FoxNews.com “a pass.”
Check My Ads staffers acknowledged that harming Fox News financially is an uphill battle. But Jammi said the campaign also about attacking Fox’s legitimacy and spotlighting who is financially supporting the network.
“We can do more than just complain and be sad and tweet and share with each other that we’re sad about where Fox News has taken us as a country,” Jammi told NPR. “We can actually fight back.”
Well they are right about Breitbart. I’m 80 and they banned me for life because I knew my history and said the truth. And they are making inways into Fox . Look what they did 11/3/2020. I haven’t turned them on since that day. But they will not succeed in shutting the truth down. As a country protected by God we will keep our freedoms but it will be a hard battle and we will lose lives. Because these Soro’s and Obama entities are programmed to do evil and get their way. So they will kill our babies in schools and churches and on the streets. BUT we will carry the banner of Christ before us and fight with the anger of a mama bear because now you have gone after our babies. You have sexually assulted them, spiritually assulted them and emotionally assulted them. And now the anger the Lord our God feels has been handed to the parents of the world and this will overcome any adversaries placed before them. God has spoken and they will obey.
It’s really funny how the minority really think they can take down the majority. It’s us who can shut down the real sources of missinformation. Our purchase dollars far outweigh the leftist fanatics by a long shot. So if you want a financial war go for it.
