The House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Thursday started investigating State Department funding for a foreign 'disinformation' monitoring group that provides 'dynamic blacklists' used to suppress disfavored news outlets.
Committee Chairman James Comer, Kentucky Republican, said the panel is seeking a briefing by the State Department to “understand the scope of the department’s use of federal funds for a taxpayer-funded censorship campaign” following recent revelations that taxpayer dollars were used to fund the so-called Global Disinformation Index.
The GDI’s list of the top 10 “riskiest” news organizations includes the New York Post, which published contents from Hunter Biden’s discarded laptop computer weeks before the 2020 presidential election. The laptop contained awkward photos of Hunter Biden, including one of him passed out with a crack pipe in his mouth.The Washington Times was among the outlets analyzed by the group behind the index, but was not listed among the top 10 “riskiest.”
