Does Poynter Have An Obsession with Blacklisting Conservative Media?

The liberal Poynter Institute for Media Studies seems to have an obsession with conservative media outlets getting put on blacklists.

The Washington Examiner exposed how the State Department and liberal Big Tech giant Microsoft actively bankrolled the leftist British group Global Disinformation Index (GDI). GDI was reportedly “feeding blacklists to ad companies with the intent of defunding and shutting down” conservative websites “peddling alleged ‘disinformation.”’ GDI's blacklist included news sites like The Daily Wire, RealClear Politics, Breitbart, Newsmax, One America News, The Daily Caller, The Washington Times, the Examiner and Blaze Media. The former associate director for Poynter’s George Soros-funded International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), Cristina Tardáguila, represents Poynter and its IFCN on GDI’s advisory panel.

In 2019, the MRC exposed Poynter for creating a conservative media “UnNews” blacklist of its own, with some of the names conveniently making their way onto GDI’s list just a few years later. Poynter would later retract the list after severe political backlash. The fact that its name is represented on the advisory panel of a group that is also blacklisting conservative media is damning. MRC Free Speech America reached out to Poynter by phone and email to inquire as to whether Tardáguila was actively representing the organization on GDI’s advisory panel in an official capacity and whether if it had any ongoing relationship with GDI. MRC received no response as of the publication of this article.

All you need to know. The rest of the words are just filler.

Let patriotic congressperson hold hearings, under oath, and go after any tax-exempt status the Institute has.

Is George Soros a US citizen?

Odd that the New York Times isn’t on a disinformation blacklist.

Sorry, I don’t recognize the St Petw reference. The street address format is similar to Washington DC.
