Conservative media outlets that are struggling as their advertising dollars dry up may have a British-based “disinformation” group tied to left-wing megadonor George Soros in part to blame.
“It ought to scare everybody in this country, regardless of whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, that the government is that involved in censoring speech,” Sen. Eric Schmitt, Missouri Republican, said in an email. “The unholy alliance between government and big tech must be dismantled.” The GDI, which has two U.S. nonprofit affiliates, reportedly received more than $300,000 through two State Department-backed entities: the Global Engagement Center, which gave the index about $100,000, and the National Endowment for Democracy, which contributed more than $200,000.
The grants were “very narrowly focused on an initiative to identify and combat the disinformation flowing from authoritarian regimes, particularly China,” she told The Washington Times. The replacement of paper newspapers with pixels has been both a blessing and a curse for conservative voices, unleashing a flood of outlets challenging liberal media establishment as well as a backlash in the form of “fact-checkers” and “misinformation” raters such as GDI and NewsGuard.
