Liberal billionaire George Soros bankrolled a massive "Hate crime" database that is used by more than 100 media partners-including Google News Labs, New York Times Opinion, and ABC News-to report alleged hate crimes, according to tax documents and interviews.
Media partners involved in the initiative have access to the unverified database, and use it to report stories of hate in the Trump era.
"Reliable data on hate crimes is hard to come by. As reports of racist, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic harassment and attacks poured in after the election of Donald Trump, many Americans wondered whether they represented a nationwide increase in hate crime," the Times editorial board wrote.
On page 321 of the Foundation to Promote Open Society's 2017 tax forms, a $200,000 contribution is shown to ProPublica "To create a well-reported data set of hate crimes and to produce high-quality investigative reporting on the subject" while another $375,000 donation was made to ProPublica "To support the hate crimes tracking project." Soros gave $200,000 more to the group, which was split between "General support" and a separate initiative on online price discrimination.
Many hate crime incidents that have been reported by major news outlets in recent years have turned out to be false.
Wilfred Reilly, an assistant professor of political science at Kentucky State University, found more than 400 hate crime hoaxes while conducting research for a book, Hate Crime Hoax.
"A great many hate crime stories turn out to be hoaxes. Simply looking at what happened to the most widely reported hate crime stories over the past 4-5 years illustrates this: not only the Smollett case but also the Yasmin Seweid, Air Force Academy, Eastern Michigan, Wisconsin-Parkside, Kean College, Covington Catholic, and"Hopewell Baptist burning" racial scandals all turned out to be fakes.
