According to The Daily Caller, in an attempt to put 400 Bernie Sanders-like politicians in Congress, George Soros has propped up the political career of now infamous communist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Ocasio-Cortez was formerly a Bernie Sanders presidential campaign organizer.
The New York Times wrote that the communist was able to defeat her opponent, who greatly outspent her, due to her online presence. In an interview with a “progressive” and communist-leaning digital media outlet The Young Turks, which is a member of a Soros-funded network of far-left publications called The Media Consortium, Ocasio-Cortez also admits that their coverage helped her achieve her win.
Members linked to Soros-funded digital media asked Ocasio-Cortez, a former organizer for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, to run for office — guaranteeing favorable coverage by a media network that reaches almost 300 million people monthly. –The Daily Caller
But the link gets even stronger. Cenk Uygur, a member of the Soros funded media, founded one of the two political groups responsible for asking Ocasio-Cortez to run, Justice Democrats. The sole role of Justice Democrats was to get “Sanders-like” politicians elected to Congress. Thanks to the coverage of the Soros-linked digital media provided, Ocasio-Cortez was able to gain traction and defeat incumbent Joseph Crowley in the primary June 26. She is expected to win New York’s 14th congressional district handily, given the district’s Democratic history, the Daily Caller reported.
In a June 27 interview with Uygur on his YouTube channel “The Young Turks,” Ocasio-Cortez thanked Uygur and other media platforms for covering her before the primaries, which she says “in no small part” helped her win.
“I wouldn’t be running if it wasn’t for the support of Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress,” Ocasio-Cortez told Uygur. “In fact it was, it was JD (Justice Democrats) and it was Brand New Congress that asked me to run in the first place.”
The Young Turks is a member of The Media Consortium — a network of far left media publications which includes Mother Jones, Democracy Now!, and dozens of other outlets, funded by Soros. –The Daily Caller
The Media Consortium is a Soros a media empire that, according to Media Research Center (MRC), reaches nearly 300 million people a month. Not only that, but Soros is responsible for funding nearly every major left-wing media publication in order to manipulate and shape public opinion (brainwash).
“Soros funds nearly every major left-wing media source in the United States,” MRC stated. “Forty-five of those are financed through his support of the Media Consortium. That organization ‘is a network of the country’s leading, progressive, independent media outlets.’ The list is predictable – everything from Alternet to the Young Turks.”
The MRC report goes on to detail the Communist echo chamber Soros intentionally created with the Media Consortium with the intention of shaping public opinion.

The Media Consortium officially liquidated itself last year and has announced it will
reappear in a new form in 2019, almost certainly even more virulently opposed to
responsible journalism than ever. Could a consortium counting the likes of Alternet
or Democracy Now! as members do otherwise?

Why is The Duran labeling this woman a ‘communist’??? Caught the ‘Yankee hysteria’ bug? Shame on you! The Duran should retract AND apologize.
George Soros supports “Communists”? What kind of Communists are they? Fake ones. Real Communists, whatever you may think of them, are not funded by George Soros.
This site is really going down the tubes. It’s like the Fox News of alternative media.
Ties to Soros should be very critically looked at, but this article is a nasty hit-piece.
´Communist´….. (mcCarthy 001?)
Yep… ‘Glo Con’s’ got it exactly right! I read to “New details have emerged showing the ties between Communist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez…” and realized I was looking at a fascist propaganda screed whose author’s agenda is entirely separate from facts. She’s a ‘Democratic Socialist’ (i.e.; a Democrat to the left of the Party’s center, hardly an authentic ‘Socialist’ and certainly not a ‘Communist’).
FAKE FASCIST NEWS!!
It’s becoming more & more clear why the likes of Alexander Mercouris are showing up on ConsortiumNews, not Duran.
Your analysis was seriously marred by calling her a “communist.” To make matters worse, you then refer to her as a socialist. You are seriously lacking in knowledge of political theory. If you had even the slightest idea of what a communist or a socialist was, you’d never use those words for Ocasio-Cortez. She’s a liberal Democrat — nothing more. If you can’t even get that straight, I would never believe anything else you say. Your hyperbole just reduces your article to a silly, mindless rant. What a waste of time the Duran is becoming.
