Soros-funded effort to blacklist conservative media outlets
< < Go Back
On April 30, The Poynter Institute, which bills itself as a “school for journalism and democracy” and is funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, published a new report and dataset called “UnNews.” This report declared at least 29 right-leaning news outlets and organizations to be “unreliable news websites.”
Meanwhile, numerous demonstrably untrustworthy left-wing sites were left off the list.
The goal of the report was clear: to kneecap and silence conservative organizations by smearing them and then bullying their advertisers. The report’s call to action was for advertisers to blacklist these websites, suggesting that “Advertisers don’t want to support publishers that might tar their brand with hate speech, falsehoods or some kinds of political messaging.”
