The revelation that The New York Times and Politico received millions collectively in taxpayer dollars from a slew of US government agencies sparked public outrage. But a new investigation by MRC Business will make the scandal of government-funded media even worse.
MRC Business found that the Poynter Institute for Media Studies — which houses the notoriously censorial International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) — was a recipient of at least $2.4 million in obligations from the U.S. government between 2013 and 2025. Notably, the majority of the funding occurred after April 2020 and throughout the Biden administration years. This is the same IFCN whose certified fact-checkers (including Poynter’s PolitiFact) were originally employed by Meta to censor conservative viewpoints across Facebook and Instagram over those years.
This directly implicates government involvement in that Orwellian censorship enterprise before CEO Mark Zuckerberg rolled that program back. Moreover, Poynter’s IFCN was also funded by leftist billionaire and censorship fanatic George Soros to the tune of $492,000 between 2016 and 2019 alone.
