NewsGuard

The leftist firm NewsGuard is going from skewing its rating system to favor left-wing websites to monitoring cable and broadcast TV news in an apparent attempt to become the new ministry of truth.

On Tuesday, The Washington Post lashed out at The Daily Wire for posting so-called misinformation that actually took the form of real news about COVID vaccines. Along with the Daily Wire, The Post also took aim at TMZ, The Epoch Times, and Breitbart for sharing news “misleadingly” to attract views to its platform.

An independent fact-checker has instructed readers to “proceed with caution” when viewing content from PragerU. NewsGuard described itself as “The Internet Trust Tool,” and claimed it rates websites for truth and credibility. NewsGuard gave PragerU a rating of 57 out of 100.

NewsGuard has found a new way to discriminate against conservatives while pretending to fight against so-called “misinformation” online. Liberal ratings firm NewsGuard has developed a service to “place ads on credible news sources.” Its system for determining whether a source is “credible” overwhelmingly favors left-wing news outlets. 

It turns out that the left has no problem taking “dark money” when it benefits their own political ends.

A New York University-affiliated organization has joined the left-wing bandwagon to attack conservative media on Facebook. In so doing, it ignored the social media platform’s obvious bias against conservatives. A study from Cybersecurity for Democracy claimed that “far-right” news sources received greater engagement on Facebook than news sources from other political parties. “When we look only…

A study released by the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights decided that the argument that conservatives are being censored by Big Tech is “not legitimate.” “False Accusation: The Unfounded Claim that Social Media Companies Censor Conservatives,” levied the accusation that conservative censorship is a myth.

Leftist ACRONYM, the organization behind the Iowa Democratic caucus app fiasco, now has its hyper-partisan news network Courier Newsroom under legal scrutiny. Watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT) filed a legal complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging that Courier Newsroom “must register as a political committee because of its ties to a Democratic-aligned group…

Academics funded by Big Tech only argue for more censorship of conservative thought. The Oxford Internet Institute, a department of the University of Oxford, released a study that smeared conservative sites such as CNSNews, Breitbart, The Daily Caller, The Blaze, The Epoch Times, PJ Media, and FrontPageMag as “junk news and disinformation.” 

A liberal dark money operation pushing “fake news” to hurt President Donald Trump in the 2020 election is pulling out all the stops. OpenSecrets revealed that “political operations are pouring millions of ‘dark money’ dollars into ads and digital content masquerading as news coverage to influence the 2020 election.” One of those operations is dubbed Courier Newsroom, which is owned by the…

Liberal website ratings firm NewsGuard has expanded its partnership with Microsoft in order to spread “news literacy.” NewsGuard describes itself as a company that provides “credibility ratings” and detailed “Nutrition Labels” on news and information websites across the internet. The online gatekeeper company, which allegedly determines whether news and information sources are worth reading,…

COVID-19 is a phenomenon that even the most trusted sources have known almost nothing about since it began to spread in Wuhan, China. Outlets like CNN and organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) have published material that later turned out to be untrue. Yet somehow, conservative media outlets get called out for “misinformation.” 

It's fascinating that the networks just keep using the data on "hate groups" cooked up by the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center, but they have skipped reporting on the group's internal uproar and the ousting of its founder, Morris Dees. CBS even used SPLC hater data on growing "white supremacy" on Sunday's Face the Nation to push White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney in the aftermath of…

“Atrocities Under Kim Jong-un: Indoctrination, Prison Gulags, Executions” is a solid, depressing rundown of the totalitarian state in Monday’s New York Times. The timing seems calculated to embarrass President Trump, in Singapore at a summit meeting with the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Mere months ago the Times was celebrating Kim's sister on the front page: "Flashing a sphinx-like…
