A liberal political media operation being run out of Washington, D.C., and Florida is pushing left-wing stories in 51 different fake news outlets in order to influence the outcome of the November midterm elections, it is claimed.
The allegations came in a shocking new investigation from Axios that was published on Thursday.
The report alleges that in the past 12 months, multiple new 'news' website have appeared across the country, all run by a company named Local Report Inc.
They do report a wide variety of stories - but sprinkled throughout are news items pushing Democrat lawmakers and policies.
Online records show that the Local Report was founded in Tallahassee, Fla.
Content is provided for the sites from writers who are employed by another left-wing group, the American Independent. The Independent was founded by David Brock, known for other liberal endeavors such as Fox News watchdog, Media Matters for America.
Other employees at the American Independent include Matt Fuehrmeyer, who previously worked for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and for disgraced Sen. Al Franken, according to his LinkedIn page.
Franken's son is also employed by the organization, as is former Sen. Harry Reid's son, the Daily Caller reported.
Prior to working as the executive editor of the American Independent, Jessica McCreight was part of President Barack Obama's communications team, according to her LinkedIn page.
When asked about the connection between the American Independent and the Local Report, McCreight told Axios that the pair had a 'co-publishing agreement,' adding that their content is 'open source' and they were a 'partner' of Local Report's.
She also said: 'It’s been widely reported that where local news outlets shut down, dis- and misinformation grows.

I personally do not expect the midterms to happen. I will be surprised if I am voting on Nov 8th.
The Michigan Independent is one of these communist scam sources.
Yet another Daily Mail story.
Im waiting for the usual suspects to come over to call this propaganda.
And one idiot or another manages to post most of their fak news, polls, and other garbage here.
People need to know there is a war being waged, not with bullets but with bytes. If peoplerepost this garbage, whose side are they helping?
They have most newspapers on their side. Google, facebook, twitter are all loyal democrat operatives. Major TV networks are 100% in bed with the left.
What more do they want?
Isn’t every media outlet in America like this anyway, except a very small handful? Our local papers and news have been commie for thirty years.
So they are doing what they accuse us of.
Shocking.
When does the Right and the so called GOP get with it and do the same back to them?
Scream all you want. They own the airwaves and the net, basically by default. This website and a few well known websites comprise the Dissident Right media - that number needs to balloon.
We know now that Fox is controlled opposition media. Even their frontline guy Carlson has to make oblique references to the Big Steal. Otherwise the phony “neoconservatives” (who aren’t even that) who run the joint will throw his butt out.
Where would he go? RSBN? OAN? Newsmax?
All third tier players whose main draw is...Trump.
Learn from the Commies own playbook. Hit right back at them.

Hey, pushing left-wing stories is the MSM’s job!
“ Im waiting for the usual suspects to come over to call this propaganda.”
That only happens when their hero Pooti Poot is disparaged.
Pooti, the hero taking on the “deep state”.
What more do they want?
Total and complete Socialism. You will own nothing and you will like it.
Propaganda for what? That there ARE news websites out there that put only leftist dogma from this administration in a good light and delight in denigrating anything that has to do with Trump and the MAGA sentiment that MUCH of this county holds?
In what way is this “shocking”. Guess they forgot the {boom} in the title
“shocking investigation finds”
It is only shocking to the naïve fools who have no clue who and what the Democrats really are. Local media is only too willing to run this BS as fact. In Mi they have managed to get the Rat Governor up well into a double digit lead. This despite her getting thousands killed by forcing nursing homes to take in Covid patients.
I believe they’ll happen, it’s the results I’m concerned about.
They got away with stealing the last election and I’m damn sure they’ll try to steal this one. It’l be harder to do with so many congressional seats at stake, but there WILL be shenanigans….
I’m debating watching on election night. I stopped biting my nails years ago, but I may find myself starting up again…🙄

Shocked NOT
For example, Trump is a criminal, Republicans want to put women in chains, MAGA people are white supremacists, the Hunter Biden laptop is fake, and so on. The truth can't get a word in edgewise
They are upset every moment of every day that there are people out there who refuse to think like they do.
Basically, they want it ALL.
