And Sinclair, of course, has their own article on this which includes relevant details like:

Soros’s investment represents approximately one-sixteenth of his $6.7 billion net worth, which he has leveraged to donate to liberal policy initiatives and advocacy organizations. The financier used his Open Society Foundations to funnel at least $140 million to political justice and ballot causes in 2021.

and several completely relevant paragraphs on Vice Media to set up the totally necessary last line shamelessly suggesting that this wealthy, liberal Jew is corrupting our country with smut:

Last year, Soros bought Vice Media in a $350 million deal to progress the company’s proclaimed “uniquely differentiated” content highlighting edgy stories. Vice’s former CEO, Shane Smith, allegedly instituted a culture plagued by sexual harassment.

Subsequent company leaders claimed the financier would improve Vice’s substance.

“With the support of our investor group, we now have the resources to strengthen our business, our partnerships and our content creation across all platforms,” then co-CEOs Bruce Dixon and Hozefa Lokhandwala told Variety. “Under new ownership and with this leadership team, Vice is positioned to drive our uniquely differentiated brand of news, entertainment and lifestyle content that makes Vice a trusted brand for global audiences."

Vice has sections on the gender spectrum, drugs and sex with articles informing readers of risqué topics. The outlet has also highlighted illegal drug cafes and MDMA-using doctors.
