Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Fox News, Republican lawmakers, and countless prominent right-wing commentators across social media are pushing a ridiculous lie about the Biden administration funding the media.
It started on Tuesday when staff at Politico reportedly didn’t receive their paychecks on time because of technical glitch.

Wonder how much they get from USAID for their lie machine?
Well shoot, you guys on the left control the media that tells people what to think, just tell ‘em it ain’t so.
Or is that model maybe not working for ya anymore?
Ask the Duke Lacrosse team just how credible Rolling Stone’s reporting is.

There’s enough old hippies to keep it in circulation?
I guess it’s safe to say that RS got USAID money too.

LOL! NOPE! Rolling Stone is pushing an absurd lie that USAID did not in fact fund a bunch of Leftist media outlets both domestic and abroad. We have the receipts A-holes. Your lies do not stand up.
XLNT!......................
R.S…..
Sorry you lost 😂
I wonder how many of the periodicals based in New York City are getting some sort of payment from USAID?
Yes. I also wonder how much government money Rolling Stone got...
Edibles?
What is High Times saying?
LOL
Even though USAID is gone, DOGE has not nuked the centralized narrative machine. Where is this nerve center? They need to find that through investigation and wipe it out.
The funding for leftist media will be found all over .gov agencies.
The hunt has just begun.
Let us see where the rolling stone finally settles...
If the news media secretly gets money from the government, and reports on the government. It’s pure corruption and tyrannical propaganda.
Rolling Stone is worse than Atlantic for fake news.
No they’re probably being funded by the government too! The ones that scream the loudest are the ones that are getting kickbacks off the American taxpayer’s backs! I hate these effing rags to the core!
Did the USAID check bounce, Rolling Stone?
