A new wave of concern has emerged within the conservative community after it was revealed that leftist donors, including those tied to George Soros, are quietly funding conservative-appearing media outlets. Compact magazine, a publication founded by conservative editor Sohrab Ahmari, is one of the most notable examples, having received funding from Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
Compact promotes traditional conservative values, but the financial connection to Soros has led many to question whether the magazine is truly conservative. Critics argue that this funding is part of a larger effort by leftist elites to control the narrative within conservative media. They fear that the magazine’s financial backing from Soros is being used to manipulate conservative readers while pushing a leftist agenda.

Another troubling case is All Seasons Press, a publisher known for working with conservative authors. It was recently discovered that the publisher has ties to Scott Bessent, a former Soros associate. Conservative author Lee Smith sued All Seasons Press after his book, which was critical of global elites, including Soros, became the subject of legal disputes. Smith alleged that the publisher was attempting to suppress his work, using its conservative branding as a cover.
These revelations have raised alarm among conservatives, who now question whether other conservative platforms are also being influenced by leftist donors. The concern is that leftist elites are using their wealth to infiltrate conservative media and control the messaging within these outlets.
Let me get this straight: Compact Magazine is funded by Soros foundation money?
Like actually?
