Where's Our $300 Million?

We find it hard to believe, but according to Mike Benz, a former State Department official, the Biden White House lavished a multinational media syndicate with hundreds of millions of dollars. For its “investment,” the administration apparently received hit pieces against a political enemy.

If that’s the price for supporting a corrupt regime, what could we get for trying to hold government accountable for its abuses and malpractice and misfeasance?

Benz, deputy assistant secretary of State under President Donald Trump, tweeted earlier this week that “The Biden Admin paid Reuters over $300 million in government contracts. 11 different Biden government agencies targeted Elon’s businesses. All 11 agencies paid millions to Reuters. Reuters then won the Pulitzer Prize for ‘their work on Elon Musk and misconduct at his businesses.’”

He included the receipts, as the kids like to say, showing which departments and agencies funded which lines of attack on Musk’s businesses, and the amounts they sent.

I really, really hope we can cut off the flow of funding from government coffers to leftists of all stripes. People are going to be shocked at the difference in the media, academia, and culture in general as they lose the ability to keep funding their lies and propaganda campaigns. It will feel like a whole new world.

Encouraging inventiveness and creativity!

I have said for years that the “News Business” is not interested in News, and neither is it any kind of Business. It is government propaganda, pushing a Narrative, and largely funded through back channels by the CIA and other government agencies. The media is Deep State from start to finish. This $300M is part of the funding, but only part.

Seems to be a lot of poverty among the lamestream media lately.
Job cuts, pay cuts, early retirements at CNN, MSNBC and others, all coming after the dem election loss.
It's almost as if an important revenue stream suddenly dried up, isn't it? Maybe $300 million was just the tip of the iceberg...
