Alright, lets go at this from the top. You're not familiar with the Soros foundation, which is exactly what Ben is hoping for here.

The Open Soros Foundation, of which Soros does not sit on the board, provides grants to journalism outlets around the globe. They have zero editorial input, and the orgs that apply for and receive funding represent the entire political spectrum and a few-hundred languages. It's a GOOD thing they exist. It encourages journalism in the most important way- by funding it

Calling every outlet that recieves grants untrustworthy because they take Soros money is extremely anti-semetic yes. It is suggesting that a secret cabal of jews tells Crisis Group what to write.

Nothing could be more ridiculous. I understand that Ben needs to discredit Crisis Group, who does excellent work, because they often publish well-researched on-the-ground research that contradicts his absurd claims.

So he says you should ignore them for taking jew money.
