And now, today we learn that beginning in 2021 (what happened then?) there was over 8 million paid to Politico, NYT got 10s of millions of dollars, Thomson Reuters got 9 million, and that’s just the outer layers of USAID peeled back so far. It now seems quite apparent, those valuable institutions of “factual” information were all on the take – while censoring and silencing those who were truthful.
And their plan now?
“initial plans by the Democrats is to have their people at USAID hide the partisan funding under ‘unimpeachable initiatives.’ They will push back really hard on certain line items that on their face look like reasonable USAID expenditures and hide their political spending under these programs.”
That, and more calling for protests. I’ll let Ohio Democrat and former presidential candidate Tim Ryan tell it like it is:
Like clockwork, the response has been it is all misinformation – just more of the same BS we’ve had jammed down our throats for years. Only now, it emboldens those digging to dig deeper. And what they found was the government (the Biden administration) was purchasing bogus subscriptions to these media outlets at rates hundreds of times greater than the typical sale price.
What do you suppose they were getting for their investments?
The cutoff of those funds has already resulted in Politico missing their last payroll.
This will only get better!
This development is especially interesting, considering the discussion here about a year ago on this site, when I raised similar flags about media culpability.
We are now wading deep into the swamp and heads will soon be rolling. So much corruption that it’s hard to know where to begin, but this HAS to be addressed (beyond shutting it down) and folks need to be convicted and imprisoned!
I imagine that any day now, one of the “settlements” or rulings from the numerous lawsuits now being applied to the fraudsters in the MSM will be forcing them to read on the air:
“I am a proven liar who has lost any credibility I may have had. I lack integrity and am wholly responsible for my lack of journalistic ethics. My viewers need to be aware that this is not the first time I have acted this way, and it’s unlikely to be my last. Please understand that I WILL lie to you in future, and that nothing I state on the air can be accepted as being factual in any way. I seek to shape the opinions of you, the weak-minded and woefully uninformed that make up the overwhelming majority of my audience. Yes. I mean you, personally”.
I truly wonder how those weak-minded and woefully uninformed are feeling these days. It can’t be good.
