The Department of State has funded a deep-pocketed "disinformation" tracking group that is secretly blacklisting and trying to defund conservative media, likely costing the news organizations vital advertising dollars, the Washington Examiner can confirm.
The Global Disinformation Index, a British organization with two affiliated U.S. nonprofit groups, is feeding blacklists to ad companies with the intent of defunding and shutting down websites peddling alleged "disinformation," the Washington Examiner reported . This same "disinformation" group has received $330,000 from two State Department-backed entities linked to the highest levels of government, raising concerns from First Amendment lawyers and members of Congress.
"Any outfit like that engaged in censorship shouldn't have any contact with the government because they're tainted by association with a group that is doing something fundamentally against American values," Jeffrey Clark, ex-acting head of the Justice Department's Civil Division, told the Washington Examiner. "The government or any private entity shouldn't be involved with this entity that's engaged in conduct that is either legally questionable or at least morally questionable."

It’s unfortunate we have to think this way. I am chair of my local Republican Committee, and at our monthly meetings I often scan the audience, wondering if some in the room are “trackers,” as people in politics call them. I.e. Fed or Deep State/Democrat spies who are claiming to be Republicans, and attending our meetings. We try and screen for them - but you never know......

Not unlike the "Muh Russia" scam, this censorship of conservative American news outlets is being carried out in part by non-American orgs in conjunction with the U.S. government.
