WashPost Outlandishly Paints NewsGuard as Victim of Right-Wing Oppression

The Washington Post made a pathetic attempt to paint website traffic cop NewsGuard as some kind of victim of right-wing oppression, all while downplaying the years-long dystopian vendetta it waged against right-leaning media.

“This company rates news sites’ credibility. The right wants it stopped,” cried The Post in a 2,282-word salad for Christmas Eve. “NewsGuard, which prizes its nonpartisan criteria, has become a prime target of the GOP’s battle against disinformation watchdogs,” (emphasis added). Yes, despite the results of a congressional investigation and significant evidence to the contrary, The Post actually had the gall to characterize the disgraceful Orwellian operation as “nonpartisan.” The Post’s shill campaign came after Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr ordered Big Tech platforms to surrender any documents pertaining to any partnership they may have had with NewsGuard. Perhaps The Post was incentivized by the fact that NewsGuard gives the leftist rag an unblemished 100/100 credibility score, but readers wouldn’t know that because The Post didn’t disclose as much.

Washington Post publisher and CEO William Lewis told his staff last June, "Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. Right. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore."
