Fox News reported that the move has prompted an investigation by the House Oversight Committee, which is concerned about potential \u201cpoliticization\u201d and its impact on the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n

The FCC\u2019s approval of Soros\u2019 acquisition of more than 200 Audacy radio stations has drawn criticism from a Republican commissioner who has expressed objections to the decision, as well as other GOP members of Congress who see the move as blatantly partisan.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0New York Post first reported<\/a> that the FCC last week \u201cadopted an order to approve Soros\u2019 purchase of more than 200 radio stations in 40 markets just weeks before the presidential election,\u201d which would allow him to reach up to 165 million Americans.<\/p>\n

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-N.Y.) have accused the FCC of expediting its review of broadcast licenses by bypassing standard procedures.<\/p>\n

In response, Comer and Langworthy have sent a letter to FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, requesting documents and communications to clarify the rationale behind the FCC\u2019s expedited decision.<\/p>\n

Audacy Inc. owns over 200 radio stations. Soros is seeking to acquire $415 million in debt in a Chapter 11 reorganization of the company, Fox reported.<\/p>\n

Comer and Langworthy warned that Soros is a financier of organizations \u201cadvocating for speech restriction and censorship of conservatives online.\u201d They added: \u201cHe will ultimately become a \u2018major\u2019 shareholder when the bankruptcy deal concludes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
