EXCLUSIVE Disinformation Inc: State Department bankrolls group secretly blacklisting conservative media
The Department of State has funded a deep-pocketed"disinformation" tracking group that is secretly blacklisting and trying to defund conservative media, likely costing the news organizations vital advertising dollars, the Washington Examiner can confirm.
GDI has identified that the 10"riskiest" news outlets for disinformation are the American Spectator, Newsmax, the Federalist, the American Conservative, One America News, the Blaze, the Daily Wire, RealClearPolitics, Reason, and the New York Post. According to financial statements, the NED received over $300 million from the State Department in 2021. Critics have argued that the endowment, which Congress authorized in 1983, is essentially a government grantmaking body despite its legal status as a private entity.
Former NED directors also include Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a Democrat, as well as ex-Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Peter Roskam , according to tax forms filed in 2020. Park Advisers implemented Disinfo Cloud"to provide the U.S. government and its partners with a database of the tools and technologies available to help push back against foreign propaganda and disinformation," according to its website, which links to Disinfo Cloud's former landing page that has since been pulled off the internet.
