George Soros fund poised to take control of nation's second-largest chain of radio stations: 'This is scary'
By Social Links forJosh Kosman and Social Links forAriel Zilber
Published Feb. 14, 2024, 1:53 p.m. ET
https://nypost.com/2024/02/14/business/george-soros-poised-to-control-audacy/
George Soros is poised to take a massive stake in the nation's second-largest radio company, which owns more than 220 stations nationwide, according to court filings and sources close to the situation.
The left-leaning billionaire's Soros Fund Management has bought up $400 million of debt in Audacy - the No. 2 US radio broadcaster behind iHeartMedia with stations including New York's WFAN and 1010 WINS, as well as Los Angeles-based KROQ, according to bankruptcy filings.
One insider close to the situation, noting that he was a Republican, said he believed it was possible Soros was buying the stake to exert influence on public opinion in the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election.
"This is scary," the source said.
Sources told The Post that Soros's stake is equal to about 40% of the company's senior debt - a massive chunk which, although not a majority, could yield effective control of the media giant when it emerges from bankruptcy.
Soros scooped up the debt during the past few weeks at roughly 50 cents on the dollar from hedge fund HG Vora, according to a source close to the situation.
Audacy confimed the Soros' investment after reports of the deal surfaced.
"The decision by our existing and new debtholders to become equity holders in Audacy represents a significant vote of confidence in our company and the future of the radio and audio business," Audacy said in a statement.
Soros Fund didn't respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for HG Vora declined to comment.
A hearing to approve the Audacy restructuring plan is slated for Feb. 20 before US Judge Christopher Lopez in a Houston bankruptcy court.
Audacy filed for bankruptcy on Jan. 7 with $1.9 billion of debt.
Under Audacy's current Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan, existing shareholders are expected to be wiped out.
High-ranking creditors like Soros would be repaid with stock in the restructured company.
The proposal requires bankruptcy court approval.
It's the latest media play for Soros.
Last summer, a fund linked to Soros joined a consortium of former lenders who paid $350 million for bankrupt Vice Media - an outlet that at its peak was once valued at $6 billion.
A judge in Manhattan federal bankruptcy court ruled that Soros Fund Management and Fortress Investment Group represented the best option to take the Brooklyn-based company out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The fire sale marked the stunning demise of Vice, which was co-founded by larger-than-life media exec Shane Smith.
Smith, who ran the business as CEO from its founding in 1994 until 2018, left amid a series of reports about alleged a frat house-like culture at the company.

Vice files for bankruptcy
The news giant was once valued at $5.7 billion, but will now be sold to its creditors for a fraction of that sum
Vice Media has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and will likely be acquired by Fortress Investment Group and billionaire financier George Soros' hedge fund. Vice's raunchy and irreverent content endeared it to millennial audiences, but critics have ridiculed the outlet for degenerating into a "woke" parody of itself in recent years.
Vice Media LLC submitted its filing on Monday, according to Motherboard, the company's tech-focused news site.
Soros Fund Management and the New York-based Fortress Investment Group have already submitted a bid to buy the company out for $225 million, the New York Times reported. According to the bankruptcy filing published by Motherboard, Vice Media already owes Fortress nearly $476 million, meaning Vice will not see a penny from the acquisition, and the company will inherit significant debts after the sale.
These debts include $20 million to the founders of Pulse Films, which was acquired by Vice last year, $3.8 million to CNN, and more than $500,000 to ConEdison for utility bills.
From humble beginnings as a pop-culture and art magazine in Montreal in the early 1990s, Vice grew into a media empire. Vice's documentaries - in which founder Shane Smith journeyed into North Korea and Liberia - became hits on YouTube, and in the 2010s, the company bet heavily on growing its predominantly millennial audience through social media engagement.
Vice's readership exploded, and Vice Media launched its own TV channel, film company, ad agency, and more than a dozen online news sites. Vice wallowed in funding from the likes of Disney and 21st Century Fox during the 2010s, and was valued at $5.7 billion by private equity firm TPG in 2017.
However, Vice struggled to convert clicks and views into cash, and its left-wing politics and focus on gender and racial issues in recent years have made it the butt of jokes among conservatives and disaffected former liberals.
"Go woke, go [broke]" Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted when news of Vice's impending bankruptcy surfaced earlier this month. "It's been a while since they made quality content," the billionaire added, sharing a link to a Vice documentary on bestiality in rural Colombia.
Vice Media closed down its Vice World News brand last month, stating that the move was dictated by "market realities." Vice World News was not the only millennial-focused digital news site to shut its doors in April, with Buzzfeed closing its news division a week earlier.

George Soros fund nears $400M deal to buy Vice Media out of bankruptcy: report
Bankruptcy-bound Vice Media will reportedly be bought out of Chapter 11 by investors who include billionaire George Soros for about $400 million - after the Brooklyn-based company was once valued at nearly $6 billion.
The cash-strapped media company has been prepping for the bankruptcy filing after failing to find a buyer over the past year, The Post reported last week.
The company's post-bankruptcy arrangement will be to sell itself to the Soros Fund Management - founded by the 92-year-old left-wing activist - and Fortress Investment Group in a deal that would value the once-high-flying Vice at just $400 million, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
The move could spell a return to the spotlight for bombastic Vice Media co-founder Shane Smith, who held the role of CEO in the company's heyday, including being valued at $5.7 billion in 2017.
Reps for Vice Media, Soros Fund Management and Fortress did not immediately respond for comment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_Media
Vice Media Group LLC is an American-based Canadian digital media and broadcasting company. Developing from Vice magazine, originally based in Montreal and co-founded by Suroosh Alvi,[8] Shane Smith, and Gavin McInnes (who left the company in 2008),[9] Vice expanded primarily into youth and young adult-focused digital media. This included online content verticals and related web series, the news division Vice News, a film production studio, and a record label among other properties. In 2015, Vice Media was called "[arguably] a poster child for new-media success-especially when it comes to attracting a valuable millennial audience."[10] Vice re-located to New York City in 2001.

Vice Media raises $250 million from investors including George Soros
Vice Media, the Canadian digital venture formed out of Vice Magazine has raised $250 million in debt from investors including George Soros.
The financier's company is one of a number of investors in the round that has been led by 23 Capital. The Wall Street Journal also reported that Fortress Investment Group LLC and Monroe Capital were also in the consortium.
Established investors include founder
Shane Smith (20%),
The Walt Disney Company (21%),
A&E Networks (20%) and
TPG Capital (44%).
Vice has been looking to increase its capital after being forced to lay off 250 staff in February.
It's a vote of confidence in chief executive Nancy Dubuc, who took over from Smith a year ago, amid suggestions that a 'boys club' had developed around the company.

part 2
Worse still, according to a noble campaign promoted by Karen Attiah, the Post's Global Opinion Editor and friend of Khashoggi - a campaign designed to keep track of and shame those who still intend to participate in the Saudi Crown Prince's "Davos in the Desert" event - Eskew, along with fellow Glover Park Director Mile Feldman, are still scheduled to speak at that event. Given all the moral decrees and shaming campaigns the Post has issued over the past ten days, how can they possibly justify their ongoing relationship with Eskew as his firm lobbies for the Saudi regime and he attends the regime's P.R.-building event?
That question is even more compelling when it comes to Ed Rogers, the long-time GOP operative who is currently an Opinion Writer for the Washington Post. In addition to his work for Hiatt on the Post's Op-Ed page, Rogers himself receives substantial financial rewards for his work as an agent of the Saudi regime. Just two months ago, the lobbying firm of which he's the Chairman, BGR Group (headed by former RNC Chairman and GOP Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour), signed a new contract that includes "assist[ing] the Saudis in communicating priority issues regarding US-Saudi relations to American audiences including the media and policy communities."
According to the firm's own press release, "BGR chairman Ed Rogers" - also an Opinion Writer for the Washington Post - "handles the Saudi work." Like Eskew, Rogers' last column for the Post was on October 12: just two days ago, the same day Hiatt published his moralizing column demanding to know how anyone with a conscience and a soul could maintain financial ties to the Saudi regime.
Even more awkward for the Post is that - with the possible exception of Tom Friedman - the most influential media figure who devoted himself to depicting MbS as a noble reformer was the Post's star foreign affairs columnist, David Ignatius. Ignatius has built his career on cultivating an extremely close relationship to the CIA, whose agenda he typically parrots and rarely contradicts. It is not at all surprising that Ignatius would be a devoted propagandist to the Saudi regime, for decades one of that agency's most cherished allies and partners.
Indeed, Ignatius did not begin his work heaping praise on Saudi tyrants with the ascent of MbS. As the media watchdog FAIR documented last year, "for almost 15 years, Ignatius has been breathlessly updating US readers on the token, meaningless public relations gestures that the Saudi regime-and, by extension, Ignatius-refer to as 'reforms.'"
But in light of Khashoggi's disappearance and the Post's new posture toward the Saudis, it is two recent columns by Ignatius - touting MbS as an admirable reformer - that are now causing substantial embarrassment for the Post's attempts to moralize on this issue. The first, published in April of 2017, was headlined "A Young Prince is Reimagining Saudi Arabia" and assured Post readers that MbS's "reform plans appear to be moving ahead slowly but steadily."
The second one, from March of this year, is even worse, as reflected by its headlined: "Are Saudi Arabia's reforms for real? A recent visit says yes." In it, Ignatius recounted his visit to the Kingdom by quoting one pro-MbS commentator after the next, and then himself gushed: "This is the door that seems to be opening in the kingdom - toward a more modern, more entrepreneurial, less-hidebound and more youth- oriented society. It's a top-down, authoritarian process, for now. But it seems to be gaining momentum."
Then there is the even more uncomfortable fact that the Post's owner, Jeff Bezos, played host to MbS during his star-making trip to the U.S. this spring, and was photographed laughing it up with the Saudi tyrant. As the New York Times' media reporter Jim Rutenberg noted in a hard-hitting article today on the role U.S. media and financial elites played in creating the hagiography surrounding MbS:
As the guest of honor at a Page Six-worthy dinner at the producer Brian Grazer's Santa Monica home, the crown prince discussed Snapchat's popularity in his kingdom with the Snap chief Evan Spiegel;Vice's Shane Smith; Amazon's chief - and Washington Post owner - Jeff Bezos and the agent-turned-mogul Ari Emanuel.
(While taking aim at a broad range of sycophantic elites who helped build MbS's deceitful image as a reformer in the west, Rutenberg failed to note the key role played by his own paper's star foreign policy columnist, Tom Friedman, who not only penned a column hailing the "Arab Spring" ushered in by MbS but lashed out in a profanity-laden attack on those who suggested he was being too gullible and sycophantic toward the young Saudi despot).

The Russian who gave Shane Smith the tour of the NK logging camps. Warned Shane that the town they had to enter to get to the roads that got you to the camps was owned by the Russian Mafia.
Knowing this when I seen that NK was a CIA State. Then learning about the U1 deal.. It hit me. I believe this black mafia market was possibly the buyers, and they transported the Uranium into NK through the logging workers who would transport back and forth..

Note MI has the same SAPs as NSA, CIA etc as designated post 9-11.
Why is this relevant?
Who can be held hostage and controlled?
CIA thinks its foreign offshore assets are strong enough to defend against the US executive (not accounting for military use on domestic soil).
Why does the Constitution explicitly grant this authority to the President and what is it to prevent?
They knew our agencies would grow in power so much so they could/can hold the executive hostage or engage with bad actors.
Trump nominated someone new to direct every agency but one. He controls the top.

More on breaking Vice news scandal:
One woman said she was riding a Ferris wheel at Coney Island after a company event when a co-worker suddenly took her hand and put it on his crotch. Another said she felt pressured into a sexual relationship with an executive and was fired after she rejected him.
A third said that a co-worker grabbed her face and tried to kiss her, and she used her umbrella to fend him off.
These women did not work among older men at a hidebound company. They worked at Vice, an insurgent force in news and entertainment known for edgy content that aims for millennial audiences on HBO and its own TV network.
But as Vice Media has built itself from a fringe Canadian magazine into a nearly $6 billion global media company, its boundary-pushing culture created a workplace that was degrading and uncomfortable for women, current and former employees say.
An investigation by The New York Times has found four settlements involving allegations of sexual harassment or defamation against Vice employees, including its current president.
In addition, more than two dozen other women, most in their 20s and early 30s, said they had experienced or witnessed sexual misconduct at the company - unwanted kisses, groping, lewd remarks and propositions for sex.
The settlements and the many episodes of harassment the women described depict a top-down ethos of male entitlement at Vice, where women said they felt like just another party favor at an organization where partying often was an extension of the job.
What stands out about the women's accounts - in the wake of a public reckoning over sexual assault and harassment by mostly older men - is that the allegations involve men in their 20s, 30s and 40s who came of age long after workplace harassment was not only taboo but outlawed.
"The misogyny might look different than you would have expected it to in the 1950s, but it was still there, it was still ingrained," said Kayla Ruble, a journalist who worked at Vice from 2014 to 2016. "This is a wakeup call."
Vice and its co-founder and chief executive, Shane Smith, have long been open about the company's provocative atmosphere. But Vice is now struggling to reconcile its past - famous for coverage of streetwear, drugs and sex, as well as its raucous parties - with its emergence as a global media company backed by corporate giants like Disney and Fox.
