A Soros-backed group has quietly expanded its media reach by snapping up a significant portion of Audacy’s radio stations in a suspiciously expedited deal approved by the FCC just weeks before a major election. The U.S. House Oversight Committee is now investigating why the agency bypassed its usual procedures, raising concerns about political favoritism and media manipulation.
The purchase, which impacts over 40 media markets and reaches an estimated 165 million listeners, is being viewed as a strategic move by the billionaire Democratic donor to expand his control over American airwaves. Republicans say this takeover could disrupt conservative talk radio, which has traditionally dominated these spaces with popular hosts like Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and Glenn Beck.
Critics argue that by taking over these stations, Soros is attempting to drown out conservative voices and inject more left-leaning viewpoints into local media. They also point out that the purchase has ties to foreign ownership—something that normally triggers more stringent FCC scrutiny.
By pushing this deal through at record speed, it seems that Soros is expanding the liberal establishment's Big Music Monopoly to sway public opinion just in time for the upcoming elections. With accusations of media consolidation and bias flying, lawmakers are demanding answers on how much influence Soros could wield through these radio waves in shaping political narratives across America.
