Where's the watchdog?
In the context of charities, soliciting donations for a specified cause and using the donations for something else is explicit fraud. It's not always prosecuted, but consumer watchdogs keep track of such activities and do a good job of informing the public.
Bait and switch happens OFTEN in a slightly different context, and never gets prosecuted or watchdogged. I've been frustrated repeatedly by online publications or forums that promise political neutrality or pro-life or anti-banker, then suddenly take the Soros side.
In some cases the Soros side is just one or two articles, perhaps presented in the name of "fairness". Doesn't matter. I was paying to help a source of NON-SOROSIAN THINKING. I was emphatically NOT PAYING TO SUPPORT SOROS. Soros owns and runs everything. He doesn't need "fairness" from supposedly sane sources.
Latest example is Archive.org, which had been carefully "non-political" during the years when "politics" didn't exist. Now that we have actual politics, a government that may conceivably depart from Globalist orthodoxy, Archive shows its Globalist hand.
Again, probably not prosecutable, but certainly deserves the watchdog approach.
