Filmmaker Embedded in "Migrant" Caravan: This Caravan Costs Millions of Dollars. Who's Paying for It? Why Isn't Any Media Asking Who's Paying For It?

He says the main group funding for this, Peublo Sin Fronteras, is being funded by groups which have been funded by [CENSORED] in the past.

Because you're not allowed to say George Soros funds the left, according to the left and the left-adjacent "conservatives" which have suddenly grown so very protective of him now that, coincidentally, their previous streams of grifty funding have diminished.

Completely unrelated, but over at the Weekly Standard, proud partner of famously-conservative organization FaceBook, they've once again fact-checked a right-leaning micro-rando to, get this, defend George Soros' good name.

In this case, they don't even try to establish this "conspiracy theory" is widespread. They do not demonstrate it has any reach. They can't say it's widespread; the most they can say is that it "has begun to resurface."

It has begun to resurface? Well then -- let's call in the Sixth Fleet! This aggression will not stand.

In fact, they cheekily even reference the fact that they spend a lot of time defending George Soros' good name these days.

In further fact, they even reference the fact that I've referenced that fact.

Fact Check: Another Soros Conspiracy Theory HOLMES LYBRAND 1 MIN READ

"Oh look, TWS is defending Soros again." -Ace, probably.

Yeah those are actually the first words of their "fact-check."

And yes, they're defending Soros again. Of course.

I imagine the fact-check is probably accurate enough; I just wonder why they're spending so much time tracking down each and every minor reference to Soros and defending him as if he were, I don't know, paying handsomely for the reputation-rehabilitation service or something.

Which I'm sure is just preposterous. George Soros doesn't fund political organizations that advance his leftist vision of the world, ever. It's antisemitic to say otherwise.

The Weekly Standard lets a thousand false claims by the left pass by unmolested, but say one thing about George Soros, and bang! They're on it like grifters on a well-heeled sap.

Broseiden Asks... Why is it antisemitic to criticize George Soros' funding of the left, given that Soros is not really Jewish, while it is not antisemitic to attack Sheldon Adelson's funding of the right, even though he is Jewish?

It's almost as if the "antisemitic" claim is being deployed in a dishonest manner to protect a well-heeled ally and not deployed so that attacks on an enemy can continue unimpeded.
