Billionaire financier George Soros, once dubbed onscreen by SNL as the owner of the Democratic Party, has pledged to pour $100 million of his money into a myriad of left-leaning groups this cycle.
Breitbart News reports that Media Matter’ founder David Brock’s oppo research PAC American Bridge will be among the first recipients of Soros’s millions.
The donation may signal Soros has taken a new media strategy aimed at embarrassing Republicans by sending an army of trackers around the country to dig up dirt. Last year, American Bridge sent dozens of trackers to key states around the country based looking for “Macaca moments”, with reference to then-Sen. George Allen’s 2006 campaign-losing gaffe.
Soros’s strategy seems to involve using YouTube as a low-cost alternative to the mainstream news outlets.
