Soros 'inside trader'

Media Infatuated With Abramoff; Unconcerned With Soros - aim.org January 4, 2006
Billionaire and convicted inside trader George Soros makes Abramoff, who spent about $5 million on political influence operations, "look like a piker," said AIM editor Cliff Kincaid.
"These groups never subject Soros to scrutiny," said Kincaid, "except to strictly itemize how much money he is giving away. That earns him the title 'philanthropist' or 'financier,' but never 'inside trader.'"
Kincaid said, "How can the media devote so much of their time and energy to Abramoff and ignore the unprecedented wheeling and dealing in the political process by George Soros? The answer is that Abramoff is a Republican and this controversy can be exploited by the media to bring the Democrats back to power in Congress."
