Wouldn't it be cool if George Soros bought and operated
a media corporation???????

Just a thought....

I wonder how many others have approached him for this. He has never run a media corporation, so he would need a COO really running it, but with Faux out there, we need a countervoice with big bucks.

Ultimately, we need no bias in the news, but Faux has crossed the line in the sand...we cannot stand by idly while they do this.

SHould we start a letter writing campaign to get him to warm up to this in spite of his older age?

At a really good price. Maybe he could take it over!
