Disinformation Inc: Read one of the 'blacklists' used secretly to defund conservative news
Washington Examiner ^ | February 10, 2023 01:26 PM | Gabe Kaminsky

The Washington Examiner revealed on Thursday that it is on GDI's list and spoke to an ad-buying source who said Breitbart News is also. Separately, GDI has said that the 10 "riskiest" news outlets for purported disinformation are the American Spectator, Newsmax, the Federalist, the American Conservative, One America News Network, the Blaze, the Daily Wire, RealClearPolitics, Reason, and the New York Post.

They hate it when their articles are posted and discussed. What blatant censorship.

Yet FR has no ads, unlike others, some of whom make hundreds of network requests in the background in loading (for instance, in Firefox open a web page then hit F12 key and then hit Network then press F5 then see Requests on bottom left).

I am sure the Journos list from years ago is also out there, lots of ways the collaborate in censoring conservative, pro-American voices. Too bad media doesn’t practice ethics.

Exactly. And there are still posters who want Jim to stop the FReepathons and go with ads. A very dangerous path.

Um, FreeRepublic is a posting board, not a news organization. It’s really more of a conservative American bent, not right wing which can vary depending on the country (Right Wing in Russia/China is old-style communism).

At any rate most of these websites are moderate in terms of politics, at least in terms of politics 10 or 15 years ago.

The American Thinker and the Federalist present thoughtful essays that can be at different sides of the same issue. Ukraine War is one instance.

Let the readers decide.

Not some idealogic monolithic wokeness.

According to the article the US State Department gave $100,000 to GDI. In other words the US State Department is funding the suppression of speech and the press. Hopefully these conservative media outlets will join in a class action suit against the State Department for paying private companies to deny the constitutional rights of conservative media outlets.

The real test is the GOP House of Representatives. The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power of the purse. Republicans can defund the departments and programs involved in unconstitutional activity. Will they step up to the plate and actually do it?

I find most of those sites reliable for truths that harm the Leftist agenda. Ann Coulter is a weathervane for money and Drudge went traitor a few years ago.

That Free Republic was on their list is a badge of honor and acknowledgement that we're considered a threat. Add that to Conan's "What is good" list.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) of 1970 seeks to strengthen the legal tools in evidence gathering by establishing new penal prohibitions and providing enhanced sanctions and new remedies for dealing with the unlawful activities of those engaged in

...... organized crime.

/\

Like conspiring to deprive 1st amendment rights ? Like THAT kind of organized crime ?

Smells like a RICO case.

On many news searches “Business Insider” a far left source, is almost always on top of the list. They are probably about as popular as CNN, but Google must be pushing them hard.

CFP is not listed, but he doesn’t sell ads either.

Townhall - not False/Misleading, but reprehensible and offensive.

High praise.
