WASHINGTON EXAMINER| Published December 5, 2024
A constellation of ostensibly local publications owned by a Democratic-aligned corporation based in New York City received a record amount of funding from the Soros network during the 2024 election cycle. The news network went on to spend millions on political advertisements praising Democrats and opposing Republicans, without disclosing their partisan ties.
Courier Newsroom is a public benefit corporation that owns and operates a network of 11 media outlets presenting themselves as trusted sources of “local news.” These newsrooms, all of which are located in politically competitive states, however, have historically published favorable pieces about regional and national Democrats while giving unfavorable coverage to Republicans, all without disclosing Courier’s extensive ties to the Democratic Party.
The Fund for Policy Reform, part of the Soros family’s Open Society Foundations network, gave Courier $15 million in 2023 to support its “locally focused journalism,” grant records show. In all previous years combined, Open Society Foundations had given the media operation just $4 million.
Alex Soros, the son of billionaire philanthropist George Soros, took over Open Society Foundations in 2023. The Soros heir, who has since married veteran Democratic operative Huma Abedin, described himself as “more political” than his father in a 2023 Wall Street Journal interview. The Soros family, primarily George and Alex Soros, donated millions to Democratic political campaigns during the 2024 election cycle, and Democracy PAC, the Soros family’s political action committee, doled out nearly $60 million primarily to other Democratic committees between January 2023 and October.
After taking millions from the Soros family, Courier went on to spend nearly $11 million on Facebook and Instagram advertisements during the final months of the 2024 election, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of Meta advertising records covering September, October, and November.
Courier’s advertisement spending, targeted at voters living in swing states, largely highlighted stories from their publications criticizing Republicans and lauding Democrats.

RELATED: 21 George Soros-backed Prosecutors Ousted Since 2022
BREITBART | Published December 5, 2024
Twenty-one prosecutors backed by left-wing billionaire George Soros because of their support for radical “criminal justice reform” have been ousted in favor of “tough-on-crime” prosecutors since 2022, according to a recent report.
As of June 2022, the U.S. had some 75 Soros-backed prosecutors, as Breitbart News noted at the time. But their policies were blamed for kicking off a national crime wave, and a backlash among voters — even Democrats — began.
According to the National News Desk (via ABC News):
Since 2022, 21 prosecutors labeled as “tough” have succeeded ones linked to Soros nationwide, according to the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF). The group’s findings include election results from last month.
…
Replaced officials include former Cook County, Illinois State’s Attorney Kimberly Foxx, whose jurisdiction extended to Chicago. Her term ended Monday when Eileen O’Neill Burke was sworn in. Outgoing Alameda County, Calif. District Attorney Pamela Price, who was recalled last month after just 18 months in office, is also featured in LELDF’s findings.
The report also points to the replacements of former Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón and former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby.
The LELDF posted a graphic on X (formerly Twitter) illustrating the trend:
The news came as new Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman took office on Tuesday, after defeating incumbent Soros-backed D.A. George Gascón in a landslide amid public outrage over violent crime in the county.
