Hey NewsGuard, Will You Still Keep WashPost’s 100/100 Score After Lorenz Scandal?
NewsBusters ^ | 6/8/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

The Washington Post was caught stealth-editing a dishonest attack-the-right story by its in-house cry-bully Taylor Lorenz, yet the publication still enjoys a perfect score by leftist news ratings firm NewsGuard.

NewsGuard currently rates The Post with a stellar “100/100” score, and claims the leftist paper “adheres to all nine of NewsGuard’s standards on credibility and transparency.” The score hasn’t budged since news broke that Lorenz falsely claimed she contacted two YouTube content creators (ThatUmbrellaGuy and LegalBytes) for comment in a smear piece smacking them for making money from their YouTube coverage of the infamous court trial between actor Johnny Depp and actress Amber Heard. Both YouTube influencers vehemently disputed Lorenz’s claim that she contacted them for comment before publication, but The Post stealth-edited the article in an apparent attempt to hide the fact that Lorenz didn’t reach out to them, while claiming she had. Fox News Digital media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn originally reported on the stealth-edit. [Emphasis added.]

Usual progressive trick. Set up a propaganda operation and pretend it’s non-partisan.

Double standards are always a leftist value.

If they didn’t have double standards, they would have no standards at all.

That’s all you need to know about newsguard to realize they are nothing but liberal hacks and shouldn’t be taken seriously at all
