Dishonest Campaigns Seek to Cripple Economic Foundations of Conservative Media

George Soros and his ideological allies are doing everything in their power to silence conservative voices.

The George Soros–backed Open Society Foundations (OSF) is bankrolling a British nonprofit organisation that works to censor conservative news sites and social-media platforms. Its aims include „killing” Elon Musk’s X by pressuring advertisers and investors to boycott the company, according to an investigative report by the Washington Free Beacon.

OSF provided $250,000 last year in “general support,” to the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), according to the Soros organisation’s own grants database. Under the pretext of “tackling online hate and disinformation,” the CCDH has sought to pressure media companies, investors and advertisers into censoring what it deems to be “disinformation” or otherwise objectionable content.

The organisation, founded in 2018 by former Labour politician Imran Ahmed, has also pressured tech firms to pull advertising from conservative outlets such as The Federalist and The Daily Wire, accusing them of putting out allegedly racist content.

This previously unreported funding may reignite Elon Musk’s long-running clash with the CCDH and Soros. Musk has accused Soros of “crimes against humanity” and of funding groups involved in violent protests across the United States. He has labelled the CCDH a “criminal organisation” and vowed to take action against the group’s donors for attempting to damage X’s finances.

A similar strategy is now being deployed in France against conservative media by the activist collective Sleeping Giants, which targets companies that advertise on what it claims are “hateful,” “extremist” or “racist” websites. They too have relaunched their attacks,

The European Conservative reports.

After the collective publicly criticised a major DIY retail chain for advertising in the conservative investigative magazine Frontières, the company swiftly withdrew its adverts. This move placed further financial strain on the magazine and formed part of a series of coordinated efforts aimed at isolating and weakening it.

In 2019, the collective launched an aggressive campaign against CNews on the grounds that Éric Zemmour hosted a prime-time programme there with a substantial audience. Many targeted companies eventually pulled their advertising from the channel, owned by conservative Catholic billionaire Vincent Bolloré, depriving it of key revenue — particularly significant given that it receives no state funding.

Now, the collective has set its sights on Frontières.

“The response must be both financial and legal,” said Erik Tegnér, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, reiterating his appeal for subscriptions and donations. He himself has been the target of physical assaults for months. The magazine’s latest issue — which condemned compromises struck by French mayors with Islamist groups — has been highly successful, but has also inflamed the fury of the left and far-left, who are demanding, so far unsuccessfully, that Frontières be stripped of its press accreditation, following the precedent set a few weeks ago with the satirical magazine La Furia.
