Dem Campaign Ads Cite Soros-Backed Fake News Sites to Sway Voters in Key Races

NewsGuard, a controversial tool in its own right that provides “trust ratings” for news and information websites, found video ads for the make-or-break races featured on-screen citations of George Soros-backed and other “pink slime” websites that “present themselves as professional news outlets but are secretly backed by partisan groups with a clear though undisclosed agenda.”
