SOROS IN THE WHITE HOUSE

AS IF THERE WERE ANY DOUBT ABOUT WONDERING WHO’S PULLING THE STRINGS IN THE WHITE HOUSE – WONDER NO MORE…

Democratic operative behind ‘fake

news’ network scored almost 20

Biden White House visits

A Democratic operative behind a network of left-wing websites often referred to as peddling “fake news” and masquerading as independent is a frequent visitor to President Joe Biden’s White House, records show.

Tara McGowan, founder and publisher of Courier Newsroom, which is armed with funding from left-wing billionaires such as George Soros and Reid Hoffman, visited the White House nearly 20 times between August 2022 and December 2023, Fox News reported, citing White House visitor logs. Courier Newsroom, which counts its parent company as Good Information Inc., a company that McGowan also leads, has long come under fire for establishing an operation of “local news” outlets across the United States that push “propaganda” from Democratic operatives.

The White House is “proud to have restored White House press briefings and to engage with a wide range of media,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates told Fox News, declining to respond to the outlet’s inquiry about McGowan’s visits.

The visits are a window into how influential left-wing activists have gained a seat at the table with the Biden White House. Alex Soros, the son of George Soros, is a frequent visitor. Meanwhile, according to a January report in Axios, Biden was warned last year by the White House counsel office that he may be opening himself up to legal problems by repeatedly hosting meetings with donors and supporters in the Oval Office.

The Washington Post reported in January that some of these meetings were private lunches — as the president’s 2024 reelection campaign ramps up ahead of his rematch against former President Donald Trump.

McGowan has been to the Biden White House to meet with several top aides, including Jordan Finkelstein, now-special assistant to the president. Patrick Stevenson, who states on his LinkedIn profile that he is deputy assistant to the president and senior adviser for digital strategy, is listed on visitor logs as being a point of contact for certain visits for McGowan.

Other White House aides listed on visitor logs in connection to McGowan visits include Madeline Strasser, ex-adviser to then-White House chief of staff Ron Klain, and Nina Srivastava, another former Klain adviser.

Writing in OpenSecrets in 2020, campaign finance expert Anna Massoglia asserted that “websites affiliated with Courier Newsroom that appear to be free-standing local news outlets are actually part of a coordinated effort with deep ties to Democratic political operatives.”

During the 2020 elections, Courier Newsroom spent millions of dollars boosting vulnerable House Democrats through a “deceptive” Facebook advertising campaign, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

Courier Newsroom took large checks in 2022, a midterm election year, from nonprofit groups managed by Arabella Advisors, the largest Democratic-tied dark money network in the U.S., the Daily Caller reported.
