[edit] Connections to Bush Iraq Lies Study

It is widely claimed in neoconservative circles that a study published by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) and funded by the Fund for Independence in Journalism (FIJ) was funded by Soros. No evidence seems to be presented for this connection, however, other than links which do not pan out. "The Center for Public Integrity is one of many George Soros fronts," says hotair.com. Michelle Malkin refers to CPI and FIJ as having "ties to BDS sugar daddy George Soros." Yet neither CPI nor FIJ are among the many organizations listed in the article about Soros on the right-wing Discover the Networks site.

It may well be that Soros has connections with the CPI and/or FIJ, but what is it, exactly, that causes those on the right to believe that this is the case? If true, what point does it make?

• 2008-01-23 /S/D/ AP Reports 'Bush Lied' Study Funded by Ultra-leftist George Soros (at NewsBusters) “Well, the AP has done it again. They have given us leftist propaganda and painted it as news. This time they have published the results of a "study" that claims that "Bush lied" in the run-up to Iraq and somehow the AP forgot to mention that the organization that released this study was funded by extreme leftist George Soros, who has spent billions funding the Democrat Party and many far left think tank and advocacy organizations. Yeah, THAT study is going to be legitimate!” See 2008-01-22 study of Bush Iraq lies for further discussion.
• 2005-04-12 /S/D/ Soros Shadow Party Stalks DeLay (from FrontPage Magazine) “On the day that Terri Schiavo died — victim of a court order condemning the brain-damaged woman to death by thirst and starvation — Representative Tom DeLay of Texas did what few politicians have the courage to do these days. He spoke his mind. .. "This loss happened because our legal system did not protect the people who need protection most," DeLay told Fox News on March 31. "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior."”
