Why is Fox News running cover for Soros?
Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto ran cover for George Soros on Friday, falsely claiming the leftist billionaire had nothing to do with the pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses nationwide.
Cavuto’s curious defense of Soros occurred during an exchange with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on “Your World with Neil Cavuto.”
“There’s a push right now on the part of some of these institutions to negotiate with the protesters, and to go ahead and put up for a vote any measure that would sort of call for divesting of funds or investments in Israel,” Cavuto told Mace. “What do you think of that?”
Neil Cavuto, Fox News’ biggest idiot!

“Well, they want disclosure and divestment,” Mace responded. “I want firings. I want people to be expelled. I want those who are here illegally or here on a student visa and participating in these things deported. It’s a very different, I think, scenario, if these were peaceful protests, if this were about the First Amendment, I think it’d be something very different, but it’s not.”
Mace went on to point out that Soros-funded groups organized many of the campus protests.
“You’ve got groups that are funded by George Soros. There are Palestinian rights groups that I believe are involved, funded by George Soros, and they need to be off of our college campuses if they’re committing violence, full stop,” Mace continued.
“Alright,” Cavuto said before pushing back on her claim. “There’s no proof that these are funded by George Soros, by the way… their folks have denied that. But, we’ll see exactly where all of this money is coming from.”
“We’ll agree to disagree, I guess,” Mace replied.
Contrary to Cavuto’s denial, a network of Soros-linked groups are in fact behind these pro-Palestinian campus protests.
Tent cities set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia were organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the New York Post reported last week.
And at least three of the college protests are being encouraged by paid radicals who are “fellows” of a Soros-funded group called the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR).
From the New York Post:
USCPR provides up to $7,800 for its community-based fellows and between $2,880 and $3,660 for its campus-based “fellows” in return for spending eight hours a week organizing “campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.” They are trained to “rise up, to revolution.”
The radical group received at least $300,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations since 2017 and also took in $355,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund since 2019.
This begs the question: why is “conservative” news outlet Fox News running cover for Soros?
