From that deep state mouthpiece FoxNews:

Some inside the FCC object to the notion the move was some sort of shortcut or "fast-tracked" for Soros, pointing to a similar process used to under the previous administration in the bankruptcy proceedings of Cumulus Media in 2018, iHeart Media in 2019, Liberman Television in 2019, Fusion Connect in 2019, Windstream Holdings in 2020, America-CV Station Group in 2021 and Alpha Media in 2021.

Oddly the Blaze omits the fact that the other Trump appointed FCC commissioner voted with the majority.

Big whoop.

Now, tell me why anybody should control that much of the public airways...

Is 200 radio stations a lot?
Go lookup how many radio stations this country has in total, then tell me how 200 compares to this total.

[Jolly]

I think it's a lot.

Now, go look at the stations in the bundle. Some of those are clear channel 50,000 watt stations.

Is ‘money-changing globalist’ still considered dog-whistle territory? Because to me it sounds only slightly more subtile than ‘k*ke’.

[Jolly]

After the Soros DA Debacle, I think I wouldn't underestimate the man.

[jon-nyc]

Clearly not addressing the question at hand.

[Jolly]

I think the statement adequately answers it. When Soros dumps money into something like this, it is often with the purpose of trying to fundamentally change America. The DA Debacle was an example.

[jon-nyc]

Do you think ‘money-changing globalist’ is full-throated antisemitism or did you find the reference to be obscure?

[Jolly]

It's a fact that Soros made a lot of money through arbitrage. Call it arbitrage, call it money-changing, the two terms are somewhat interchangeable.

As for antisemitism, does Soros still identify as a Jew?

[Horace]

Money changing is a literal description of what Soros did to make his fortune, and if this Republican has otherwise pro-Israel views, I would guess that this phrasing was an unfortunate bit of ignorance about the connotations, rather than an intentional dog-whistle.

[Tom-K]

Does anyone still listen to the radio?

[Jolly]

Yeah, some things.
