The activist leading the leftist “dark money” group behind the Iowa Democratic Caucus app fiasco is trying to funnel millions into her gambit to fight conservative media.
ACRONYM CEO and Democratic strategist Tara McGowan has been planning a “new $65 million effort to push progressive local news around the United States as part of an attempt to match the dominance of right-wing media,” according to Vox Recode. McGowan’s ACRONYM was behind “fake news” network Courier Newsroom that operated to influence the 2020 election.
Recode stated that McGowan has “attracted controversy from journalism groups concerned that her advocacy efforts masquerade as unbiased media.” The new McGowan scheme — dubbed “Project for Good Information,” — “makes clear, though, that some progressives are prepared to double down on her strategy.”

$65 million. Gee, I wonder how many homeless people can be helped with $65million? But, alas, priorities.

That's what happens when you live in a liberal bubble. She has no idea about how the liberals have more than 80% of the media locked up for their side. She hears a few 'right-wing' media voices, and to her, it's way too much and must be combated.
Either that or she's just pure wacky and delusional or full of hate.

That is only a very expensive virtue signaling campaign because they don’t need to spend any money to do that. The only other explanation is money laundering.

Doublethink in action. A bold, outright lie. Then followed by a solution to the unreal problem the lie is about.
Psyops. Psyops everywhere with progressives, leftists and D’rats.

A lingering challenge, though, will be how to position the outlets as nonpartisan given McGowan’s background
In other words:
We have to LIE about everything in order to sell this crap to you.
