Funny how you always fall back on the 'messenger' as flawed.

You won't find any corroboration of the rumors you misidentified as facts anywhere, but you will find links to corroborate what Snopes found on the allegation you posted.

I have read numerous debunkings by Snopes of allegations against conservatives. You can find them on their site

And impugning the credentials of fact checkers by someone who has such a disregard for fact-checking, who treats allegations and rumors as fact, is..........hilarious

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/was-snopes-...-to-soros/

Quote:
A single glance at our staff page debunks the “no employees” lie. We are a team of highly experienced investigative journalists, as a quick search of our bylines would likely bring up. We have worked with local, national, and international news teams in a variety of media — and we have the awards to show for it.

We would also like to take a moment to point out, as well, that founder David Mikkelson has now been running Snopes.com for more than twenty years, making him less of a blushing upstart and more of someone who has not just dabbled in investigative reporting, but taken an active part in shaping fact-checking into what it is today.

It is true that many of us do not have “formal training” in journalism, if you consider a degree to be formal training. We chose (as many journalists do) to learn our craft through painstaking experience and learned expertise instead, using our educations to deepen and broaden our specialties.

Finally, those appear to be two different men shown purportedly meeting with George Soros. Neither is our chief executive officer and founder, David Mikkelson. He has dark hair, and there the resemblance to the photographs ends.

None of us works with or for any political campaign or party, nor have any of us so much as met George Soros and probably wouldn’t recognize him if we did.

So, then, why do we do this, if we’re across the map politically and have no agenda, either tacit or open, to discredit any part of the political sphere? Is it simply because of our shared years of experience and absolute loathing of disinformation and propaganda? (It is.) If the creators of this meme were making it in good faith they would have asked us, the primary sources, to comment — just as we would have done for them.

Naturally, they didn’t.
