This monster already has 99% of the so-called “news” media in his corner.
A new group has been formed to fight against what it calls disinformation, using a model one activist said would “erode the public’s trust in media.”
This new “public benefit corporation” is backed by far-left billionaires including George Soros and Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, will do battle with the forces of any opinions it does not like under the banner of Good Information Inc., Axios reported Tuesday.
The outfit “aims to fund and scale businesses that cut through echo chambers with fact-based information” and will invest in local news outlets.
Like the left doesn’t already have 90% + saturation of the market.
Axios did not disclose what form such investments might take but said it “could mean funding new or existing companies that boost news from existing news outlets.”
The group will be led by Tara McGowan, a Democratic strategist and headed a progressive nonprofit called ACRONYM.
Good Information Inc. will acquire Courier Newsroom from ACRONYM in an effort for local news.
Fox News has described the Courier company as a “left-wing dark money operation,” with alleged news stories that “often appear to be little more than Democratic Party talking points that drive liberal messaging in key states online and on social media, with piles of cash and no financial disclosure.”
Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, the outside counsel for Americans for Public Trust, said the group was not a healthy addition to the media universe.
“I think it’s an unprecedented political news organization. While there are complaints of media bias, fake news, no media outlet is doing what Courier Newsroom is,” Laxalt said. “They were stood up by a large, left-of-center political world and they appear to be directly engaged in political persuasion.”
Salon reported the company “has set up what appear to be local news sites but are actually propaganda efforts aimed at creating content to be shared on social media to boost moderate Democrats.”
Kelly McBride, chair of the Poynter Institute’s Craig Newmark Center for Ethics and Leadership, said it is
a purely political site that pretends to be news is “super opaque to the consumer.
The former state AG added that ventures like Courier have the potential to “erode the public’s trust in media. When you click on Vox or some other news website that has a liberal bent to it, it still was created with the idea of putting out news for the sake of a business model. In this case, the very purpose for this site to exist is different.”
A literal Nazi collaborationist pushing ANOTHER Stalinist propagandist outfit and calling it “good.”
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isa. 5:20.)
I guess Ministry of Truth was rejected.
To paraphrase Grocho Marx:
“Whatever he says, I’m against it.”
Hungary has no use for this SOB. We’re stuck with him.
Why can’t he call it Ministry of Truth. It has literary allusions, and is more accurate.
‘Good Information” from a man who was an actual Nazi collaborator and is proud of it.
