According
to a report in the Washington
Examiner, the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a British organization, and its two
affiliated U.S. “nonprofit” groups, have blacklisted American Thinker and many
other conservative leaning news outlets-- probably including this one-- branding
them as “false/misleading.”
In my opinion, that’s a feather in our cap. Indeed,
it is (ironically) an imprimatur that information on these sites can be
trusted, since terms like “false/misleading,” “misinformation,” and
“disinformation” can be directly and correctly translated as “accurate” and “the
truth” when employed by Democrat-affiliated groups such as these. And truth is
something the Left fears more than anything else-- even straight, white, binary,
Christian males.
The GDI also effectively libeled/slandered the
Washington Examiner, the Washington Times, Newsmax, and others by labeling them
false/misleading, as well as news websites run by some well-known conservative
figures. Incredibly, if amusingly, it branded Townhall.com “offensive” and
“reprehensible.” It even declared Judicial Watch to be false/misleading, while RealClearPolitics.com
got the same treatment, even though the news aggregator strives to aggregate
fairly, posting similar numbers of liberal and conservative articles.
On the other hand, GDI characterized clearly liberal
and pro-Democrat entities such as NPR, the New
York Times, ProPublica—and others-- as low disinformation risks. Imagine that.
The GDI, which hilariously claims it “operates on the three principles of neutrality, independence
and transparency,” recently received $330,000 from two U.S. State
Department–backed entities, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and
something called Disinfo Cloud. The NED is largely taxpayer funded. The
State Department’s official website states that Disinfo Cloud is “an
unclassified platform used by the U.S. government, foreign partners, and
technology providers to identify and learn about technologies to counter
adversarial propaganda and disinformation.” Meaning stuff with which they
disagree. The Examiner noted that GDI’s two Texas-based “nonprofit”
affiliates generated large surpluses recently. Tax records apparently show
that GDI’s affiliated private foundation saw its revenue jump from $19,600 in
2019 to over $569,000 in 2020. Not sure how “transparent” this has been.
This is all supremely ironic, and truly
“reprehensible,” in that much of what the Biden administration hasn’t hidden or
obfuscated, it has lied about. The Left lives and thrives on lies and sees the
truth as kryptonite. So it punishes those who write or speak it. “Cancels” them
by preventing them from speaking, smearing them if they do, and by demonetizing
them or even physically threatening them. Democrats’ lapdogs in the mainstream
media aid and abet them, incessantly repackaging, refining, and regurgitating lie after lie.
“Fake news” is all too often an accurate term.
This has been proven again and again, via the Russian
Collusion Hoax, the Jan. 6 “insurrection” was “the worst attack on our
democracy” since 9/11, Pearl Harbor, and the Civil War hoax, the 2020 riots
were “mostly peaceful” hoax, and the Joe Biden is a calm and stable moderate
who yearns to unite the country hoax.
Progressives have fostered a culture of lies.
They are ubiquitous and keep on coming. If prevarication was an Olympic sport,
it would now be hard to pick a winner from amongst the Russians, Chinese, North
Koreans, Iranians…and a U.S team comprised of Obama-Biden administration
officials.
And who knows how our mainstream media would report on
that competition.
