A former NPR senior business editor worked there for over 25 years. A Congressman questioned a witness about bias at NPR, citing the editor's story claiming 87 registered Democrats and zero Republicans in DC editorial positions. The witness said she doesn't track voter registration but found the numbers concerning if accurate. The Congressman referenced the editor's claim that NPR "hitched its wagon" to Adam Schiff on the Trump-Russia story, interviewing him 25 times, and that Russiagate faded after the Mueller report. The witness couldn't confirm this, as she wasn't at NPR at the time. Regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story, the Congressman quoted an editor who dismissed it. The witness stated current leadership believes that was a mistake. The Congressman then claimed NPR was "0 for 3" on big stories, including COVID origins, where the editor said NPR declared the lab leak theory "debunked." The witness maintained NPR is not politically biased and is a nonpartisan organization.

During the Reagan era, we created NGOs to fight communism by establishing a soft power structure to influence the world. The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was created and split into the National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute. Both Democrats and Republicans were under the NED, with the intention of offering balanced perspectives as they influenced the world. But when communism fell, these NGOs didn't disband; they grew in power and money. They now see themselves as protectors of democracy, viewing any challenge to them as a challenge to democracy itself. Both Democrats and Republicans are heavily involved, even to the point where sitting members of Congress vote for money for these NGOs while sitting on them. They believe they're doing good, protecting the Western world, but it's also about the money. They tell themselves a good story.

Speaker 0 expresses frustration with a life of endless work for low pay, returning home to drown troubles, and a sense of disappointment with the world. He laments living in the new world with an old soul, wishes politicians would look out for minors, and criticizes blackmail and the way money is obtained. Speaker 1 discusses a claim: she states to the justice department that she was part of the beginning process of the Clinton Global Initiative and believes Jeffrey Epstein actually funded the Clinton Global Initiative, with them developing the idea together on a trip to Davos. He notes this aligns with the start of the Clinton Foundation in 2002, when Epstein was personally flying President Clinton around Africa as an aerial chauffeur on multiple trips. He asserts that this period marked Epstein’s proximity to power as Clinton Foundation preparations were underway. He argues that the Clinton Foundation engaged in pay-to-play while Hillary Clinton rose in New York Senate politics and later became secretary of state, enabling foreign policy to be influenced by donors and major corporations. The claim is that U.S. foreign policy was effectively shaped by the state department, defense, CIA, and USAID to benefit those who funded the Clintons, in contrast to national interest. He presents Epstein as a money bundler, a deal maker, and part of the origins of the Clinton Foundation’s influence machine. He adds that the Justice Department shut down three FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation and the IRS investigation as well, with the IRS claiming lack of resources to pursue the case, implying political cronyism and large-scale fraud that allegedly could not be prosecuted. Speaker 2 recounts a first-person experience at Wexner’s residence. He mentions having a driver’s license and being given Jeffrey Epstein’s SUV, but notes there were sharpshooters around. He describes a basement area that wasn’t on the lower floor, featuring a huge sauna, a vault, and an underground tunnel. The tunnel’s existence was confirmed by their maid, who explained that the door led to the main house, revealing the tunnel connecting underground passages. Overall, the transcript juxtaposes personal disillusionment with systemic allegations about the Clinton Foundation and Epstein’s role in its origins, alongside a vivid, confessional account of a private residence with security measures and secret tunnels.

Trump has frozen millions in USAID funds for foreign media, causing outrage among liberals. Reports reveal that USAID has been funding outlets like Politico and the New York Times, raising concerns about the U.S. government influencing global journalism. Trump’s recent hold on USAID has cut $268 million from media in over 30 countries, affecting 6,200 journalists and 707 news outlets. This situation parallels past revelations about social media collusion with the government to shape public opinion. Critics argue that while they highlight U.S. involvement in foreign affairs, the real issue is that many media outlets are funded by the U.S., including the BBC, which is the second-largest recipient of U.S. funding after the UK government.

The Lincoln Project, co-founded by George Conway, has raised over $14 million during the 2024 election cycle and spent over $12 million. Approximately one-third of the expenditures went to firms controlled by Lincoln Project leadership, including over $500,000 to Reed Galen's consulting firm, over $600,000 to Rick Wilson, and over $100,000 to Rick Wilson's son. Funding comes from the far left and never-Trump camps, including donors like Christy Walton, Charles Bronfen, and Rob Reiner. Resolute Square Media, a company created by the Lincoln Project founders, donated over $24,000 to them. Google has donated over $57,000 to the Lincoln Project, according to OpenSecrets. The Lincoln Project has paid over $34,000 to Google. Jeff Clark suggested this may be part of Google's effort to manipulate search results to favor Kamala Harris.

The transcript traces a tapestry of questions around Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation, emphasizing perceived links between philanthropic or diplomatic activity and private gain, while laying out specific Haiti and international case studies that critics say illustrate a pattern of influence peddling and blurred lines between public power and private wealth. Haiti after the 2010 earthquake: - After the January 12, 2010 earthquake, Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, and Bill Clinton, as UN special envoy for Haiti, led relief and recovery efforts. The Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC) was created to coordinate relief and reconstruction, with Haitian Prime Minister John Max Bellarive and Bill Clinton named as co-chairs. - The IHRC aimed to go beyond relief to long-term improvement, but concerns emerged that decisions were being made by Clinton and Bellarive with insufficient Haitian input. Members of the IHRC later wrote a letter complaining they were not involved and that national priorities were being disregarded. - Projects associated with US funding and Clintons’ involvement included: the Haitian mobile money initiative; plans to exploit mineral wealth; two gold exploitation permits issued after a fifty-year gap; and the Karakol Industrial Park (Caracol) intended to create tens of thousands of jobs. - The Caracol opening drew high-profile attendance (Bill and Hillary Clinton, Donna Karan, Ben Stiller, Sean Penn). However, questions arose about value and transparency: only about 5,000 of the promised 65,000 jobs materialized; the area displaced farmers; local workers reported low wages (roughly 225 gourds/day, about $5 USD); and only a portion of promised infrastructure and housing funding was realized. - Digicel, run by Irish billionaire Dennis O’Brien, profited substantially in Haiti’s telecom sector, and later contributed to the Clinton Foundation; Digicel was a key beneficiary in mobile money initiatives tied to post-disaster relief. - Tony Rodham, Hillary Clinton’s brother, joined the board of VCS Mining, which received a gold exploitation permit in Haiti, prompting scrutiny about potential family influence in contracting decisions. - The strongest economic gains were tied to US-linked firms such as Gap, Target, and Walmart through Caracol’s textile emphasis, while other projects did not deliver promised outcomes. - After the campaign for president, Hillary Clinton announced she would quit the Clinton Foundation to devote herself to full-time candidacy, and the foundation adjusted donation policies to restrict foreign government contributions, though concerns persisted about ongoing influence and access resulting from prior relationships. Global money, influence, and the Clinton Foundation: - The Clinton Foundation, founded in 2001 (initially as the William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation), positioned itself as a hub at the nexus of global money, influence, and power, with a stated mission to tackle hunger, poverty, climate change, and disease by marshaling government and private resources. - The Foundation reportedly raised more than a billion dollars over the years, with substantial speaking fees and book deals contributing to the Clintons’ wealth, especially after Bill Clinton left the presidency. - Critics argue that large donors could gain access to or influence through the Clintons’ public roles, while supporters emphasize the Foundation’s global humanitarian work. A memorandum of understanding during the Obama transition sought accountability: disclosures of new contributions to the Foundation, prior approval for foreign government donations, and state department vetting of Bill Clinton’s speeches and consulting arrangements. Selected foreign cases cited by Peter Schweitzer in Clinton Cash: - United Arab Emirates (UAE): In 2011, while UAE officials pressed Hillary Clinton on Iran sanctions, Bill Clinton was paid half a million dollars for a speech in Abu Dhabi by the crown prince’s brother; UAE later provided donations to charitable groups associated with Clinton-linked initiatives. - Ericsson (Sweden): In 2009-2010, Ericsson paid Bill Clinton $750,000 for a speech amid ongoing Iran sanctions discussions, framed by the foundation’s influence and Clinton’s crowd-pulling. - Colombia: In 2010, Bill Clinton met with President Uribe and, contemporaneously, Hillary Clinton discussed free trade agreements with Uribe; Frank Giustra, a Clinton Foundation donor, accompanied Bill Clinton and later secured government concessions in Colombia for Giustra’s companies. - Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia: Sheikh Al Amoudi pledged $20 million to the Clinton Foundation; Ethiopian rights concerns were raised regarding the donor’s government ties, and Hillary Clinton granted a waiver allowing continued US assistance despite human rights concerns. - Kazakhstan and Uranium One: Bill Clinton hosted a meeting with Kazakh officials in which Giustra had significant mining interests; Uranium One eventually came under Russian ownership, controlled by Vladimir Putin, with the deal requiring federal approval from Hillary Clinton as secretary of state; Canadian investor Ian Telfer contributed to the Clinton Foundation but reportedly did not disclose some donations. The report concludes with ongoing debates about the Clinton “blur”—the intertwining of philanthropy, political power, and corporate influence—while noting that Hillary Clinton’s campaign faced persistent questions about trust and influence, including opposition to certain foreign deals and ongoing scrutiny of donations and relationships involving the Clinton Foundation and related business interests.

The speaker asserts that emails repeatedly referenced Comet Ping Pong, a Washington DC pizza place run by James Alifontis (the speaker refuses to call him a man). Alifontis is described as a local pizza shop owner, art gallery owner, and founder of several other restaurants, but the speaker argues this is only a surface description. The speaker highlights alleged connections: Alifontis allegedly has powerful friends, evidenced by Instagram posts showing personal letters from Hillary Clinton, campaign rally photos, and Obama supposedly playing ping pong with a child. The speaker claims there are photos of Alifontis with Podesta, including one where Alifontis holds a pizza pool floaty with a creepy silhouette of a female behind them. The speaker describes an archive of Alifontis’s Instagram, claimed to include p*rnographic images and adults with pizza covering their genitals, as well as disturbing photos of children, including a blurred image of a five-year-old girl allegedly his niece with her hands taped to a ping pong table, captioned “chickenlover.” The speaker questions why Alifontis wasn’t banned from Instagram and notes that Alifontis is supposedly close to many people tied to the emails. The pizza shop is presented as central to a broader network of alleged wrongdoing, and the speaker argues there are non-coincidental links among the people involved. The speaker notes Alifontis’s Instagram shows a statue of Antinous, described as Hadrian’s lover who was a boy, with a history of a relationship from preteen to death at 18 or 19, and claims Hadrian created a cult around Antinous after his death. The speaker connects this to alleged child exploitation and questions the profile-picture choice in relation to those involved. They compare Epstein to Alifontis, pointing to child imagery, connections to powerful people, and wealth. The discussion shifts to a 2012 GQ list of the 50 most powerful people in Washington, where the speaker claims Alifontis appears at number 49, implying influence beyond a small business footprint. The speaker then asserts a well-known romantic connection between Alifontis and David Brock, founder of Media Matters, a left-leaning watchdog group. Media Matters is described as monitoring right-leaning media, producing content to counter narratives, and allegedly influencing which news is considered legitimate. The speaker mentions that Media Matters has faced defamation lawsuits and investigations for fraudulent activity, including being sued by the Texas attorney general and the Missouri attorney general, and notes funding from George Soros and Bill Clinton, who allegedly provided office space at the Center for American Progress, a think tank associated with John Podesta. The cycle of connections is described as widening to include Hillary Clinton, the Podestas, and others, forming a circle of familiar faces tied to the emails and to Alifontis. The speaker argues that Alifontis posts images of selling children on his Instagram and connects this to the Comet Ping Pong restaurant, suggesting a broader pattern of wrongdoing. Back at the venue, the speaker cites FBI imagery and symbols appearing in Comet Ping Pong materials, including two ping pong paddles on the menus that resemble the “child lover” image from the FBI’s alerts. Murals at Comet Ping Pong allegedly depict adults, some unclothed, parading children or heads of children, and one humanoid figure wearing a crown. The bathrooms allegedly contain graphic graffiti, and the musical acts Heavy Breathing and Xtains are described as featuring disturbing imagery, including a scene in Heavy Breathing’s video that includes dialogue suggesting someone named Bram72 and a character named MajesticApe29; MajesticApe is rumored to be James Alifontis. A band named Stains is described as having a song with imagery akin to MK Ultra nightmares, and a box in the video reportedly mirrors the FBI’s “boy lover” symbol. The speaker references an online video from 2007 titled Ping Pong in a Public Place showing two men playing ping pong, with disturbing audio of a child begging for help, implying missing children may be connected to the location. The speaker notes nearby establishments—Besta Pizza and Beyond Borders Across the Street—whose logos allegedly resemble FBI symbols, further claiming a pattern of coincidences. The discussion shifts to a rumored server hosted in a backroom on the Comet Ping Pong site, with encrypted video files and password-protected pages discovered after the gate broke, suggesting that someone is actively keeping content hidden. In summary, the speaker contends that Comet Ping Pong, James Alifontis, and a network of powerful political and media figures form a troubling web tied to alleged child exploitation, with imagery, music, and online content serving as corroborating indicators, while asserting that a backroom server allegedly hosted encrypted videos connected to the venue.

A former NPR senior business editor worked at NPR for over 25 years. A congressmen questioned whether NPR is biased. The witness stated she has never seen political bias determine editorial decisions. The congressman cited the former editor's claim of 87 registered Democrats and zero Republicans in DC editorial positions at NPR. The witness said they don't track voter registration but found the claim concerning if accurate. The congressman referenced the former editor's claim that NPR "hitched their wagon" to Adam Schiff on the Trump-Russia story, interviewing him 25 times, and that Russiagate faded after the Mueller report. The witness couldn't confirm this. Regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story, the congressman quoted an editor who dismissed it. The witness stated current editorial leadership believes that was a mistake. The congressman then stated that NPR became fervent members of the team natural origin even declaring that the lab leak was debunked by scientists. The congressman concluded NPR was "0 for 3" on big stories but the witness maintained NPR is nonpartisan.

Speaker 0 discusses Jerry Epstein and the Lolita Express, claiming Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s planes “like, on 20 flights,” and alleging Clinton flew to a Middle Eastern country with a “chic that's admitted pedophile with multimillion dollar checks and Bill Clinton on the plane.” They state Clinton is a “known sexual predator” and reference lawsuits against Donald Trump with Jane Does alleging involvement with Epstein, saying there was no proof in the law because they log flights on private jets, and asserting Trump “had been a defuse” (likely misstatement) of these claims. Speaker 1 shifts to John Podesta, describing him as a “progressive guru” and alleging he is connected to an “underage sex slave op,” and mentions “cover upper defending unspeakable dregs.” They question what MMFA is, and Jamie asks what it means. The term MMFA is identified in the dialogue as Media Matters. The speakers then discuss Soros and connect him to ownership of a pizza place where “this all went on.” They claim Media Matters’ head guy, David Brock, has a boyfriend and that the organization hosts major Democratic Party fundraisers. They mention “rock bands there” performing “live Spoken word dissertations of the love of children,” including references to men in goth drag speaking about their love for children. The speakers acknowledge not wanting to repeat some content and suggest they could pull up more footage of these claims. Speaker 1 asks rhetorically why this is such a bizarre subject and comments on the overall strangeness of the topic. Overall, the transcript presents an interwoven set of unverified allegations involving prominent figures (Epstein’s associates, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, John Podesta, Soros, and Media Matters), claims of underage sex operations, and allegations about events at a pizza place tied to Media Matters, including reportedly graphic performances by performers discussing love of children. The speakers imply a broader conspiracy or cover-up framework linking political figures, advocacy outlets, and entertainment venues to illicit activities.

Wikipedia, the web-based encyclopedia, was founded on the idea of crowd-sourced, user-generated content. However, concerns have been raised about political bias in its editing process. While Wikipedia claims to be open to anyone editing, there is evidence of left-leaning bias among its administrators. Reliable sources on the left are deemed acceptable, while conservative outlets are often rejected. Examples of bias include downplaying violence by the Antifa movement and minimizing the atrocities of socialism and communism. Attempts to correct these biases are quickly reverted. Despite its popularity, many are skeptical of the political neutrality of Wikipedia and have stopped donating to the platform.

Wikipedia initially adopted a neutrality policy from Nootenia and made significant efforts to maintain it for its first five years. However, over the past 10 to 15 years, it has gradually shifted towards a leftist perspective, particularly in political articles. This change mirrors the broader trends in news media, which have increasingly moved to the left. As a result, Wikipedia has excluded many conservative news sources and blogs from its references. This evolution has been surprising, especially considering the noticeable shift towards a center-left viewpoint that was already evident by 2010.

The fairness doctrine, established in 1928, aimed to ensure a diversity of voices in media by limiting the number of radio stations one corporation could own. It required broadcasters to serve the public interest by providing news coverage and allowing different perspectives. However, in 1986, Reagan abolished this policy, leading to media consolidation. Today, a few companies control most radio and television stations, newspapers, billboards, and internet content providers. With no obligation to tell the truth, these companies prioritize profit over quality journalism. The decline of independent news divisions and investigative reporting has resulted in a lack of accountability and polarization in media.

Mike Benz outlines a conspiracy tied to the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) and a June 2020 war game that purportedly sought “a way to use riots, nationwide riots, and do favors to the Black Lives Matter movement so that they would owe them favors back to take to the streets against Trump if Trump won the election fair and square,” while also needing “a robust, intentional, and specific strategy to go after the networks that enabled Trump's rise to power” so they could be jailed after Trump left office. Bubba Boyd, who has written about the event since August 2020, explains that the discussion will cover the key players in TIP, the plan to subvert the 2020 election, how rigging the election and four prosecutions of Trump flow from the June 2020 conspirators’ meeting, and excerpts from a January 2020 Donald Trump speech to the World Economic Forum that allegedly signals why Trump and Trumpism had to be eliminated. The publicly named sponsors of the war game are Rosa Brooks and Niles Gilman of the Berggruen Institute in Los Angeles, described as the “globalist home of Silicon Valley’s anti-Trump billionaires,” with branches in Venice and Beijing and a China branch in direct dialogue with Xi Jinping. Michael Anton is cited as the author of a Trump national security document who criticized TIP’s war game, stating they were planning a coup against the election and publicizing the war game to normalize the idea. Brooks’s background is summarized as a lawyer for George Shullis at the Open Society Institute, then a State Department attorney for regime change, then a Pentagon policy lawyer under Obama, while teaching at Georgetown Law. The narrative asserts she advocated impeaching Trump and a potential 25th Amendment move, and even a military coup, in a 2017 Foreign Policy piece titled “three ways to get rid of president Trump before 2020,” including the sentence: “For the first time in my life, I can imagine plausible scenarios in which senior military officers might simply tell the president, no, sir. We’re not doing that.” The claim is that she “couldn’t wait to launch a coup against Trump,” a portrayal attributed to a New York Times editorial response. In June 2020, Brooks and Gilman allegedly convened TIP’s war game about the 2020 election and its possible aftermath, with over 100 participants and 76 role players drawn from former Pentagon officials, the intelligence community, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, the media, and Republican and Democratic institutions. Names publicly associated with anti-Trump activity are listed, including John Podesta, Donna Brazile, Bill Kristol, Michael Steele, Jennifer Granholm, and other unnamed figures, all described as major players in attempts to nullify the 2016 election and overthrow the government. Benz is said to detail the TIP war games and concludes that to prevent a second Trump term, Biden would need a large victory margin to overcome fraud perceptions, with the insurrectionist scenario calling for control of the military, Black Lives Matter, and other street rioters. The narrative asserts that BLM raised about 90 million in 2020 with donors like the Democracy Alliance and the Ford Foundation, and that Mark Elias led financial filings associated with the effort. The discussion further cites Defense One articles from August 2020 that reportedly called for a military coup and a subsequent open debate within the military about accepting orders, and claims that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley “was not about to obey any order from the president.” The appendix to TIP’s report allegedly debated criminally proceeding against Trump after leaving office and wiping out his “white supremacist and extremist base,” with a quote describing the need for a strategy to challenge networks that enabled Trump’s rise and remained “imbecible to the kind of pluralist democracy the founders intended,” implying a path toward removing Trump’s influence even after his presidency. The transcript also notes contemporary references to Arctic Frost, an FBI investigation linked to 2022 midterms, and alleged targeting of Republican election operations and other figures by the FBI. Excerpts from Trump’s World Economic Forum address and a January 2020 speech are presented to illustrate a moral and strategic framing against globalism and “radical socialists.” The presentation ends by inviting audience support and promoting further engagement, including a free newsletter.

Wikipedia inherited its neutrality policy from Nupedia and initially made a strong effort to maintain it for about five years. However, over time, it has shifted towards what some perceive as leftist propaganda, particularly in political articles. This change aligns with the broader shift in news media over the past 10 to 15 years, which has seen a decline in conservative sources and an increase in left-leaning perspectives. The evolution of Wikipedia's content has mirrored this media landscape shift, leading to a noticeable center-left bias by around 2010.

A new entity, the American Sunlight Project, has been created by Nina Jankovic to combat disinformation. She believes anti-disinformation organizations need a rapid response unit. Jankovic previously worked on anti-Russian disinformation in Eastern Europe, funded by Soros' foundations.

Twitter heavily favors left-leaning ideologies, evident in their suspension of right-wing accounts and 99% Democrat political donations. This bias is clear when a company donates almost exclusively to one political party.

A Free Press report reveals that the "Trump resistance" is bankrolled by wealthy individuals. The organization "Families Over Billionaires," which opposes Republican tax cuts, doesn't accept public donations and is a trade name for Arabella Advisors, a dark money network. Arabella Advisors is funded by billionaires like Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman, Pierre Omidar, and George Soros. These organizations are structured within the Arabella network, obscuring the donors' identities. Such setups raise transparency concerns. "Families Over Billionaires" is staffed by former Biden and Harris officials, including director Michael Linden, previously with Biden's Office of Management and Budget. Currently, the organization is releasing YouTube advertisements featuring paid actors expressing concerns about tax cuts. While this doesn't discredit the organization's message, it's important to know that groups calling themselves grassroots may not be.

A former NPR senior business editor worked there for over 25 years. A Congressman questioned a witness about bias at NPR, citing the editor's story claiming 87 registered Democrats and zero Republicans in DC editorial positions. The witness said they don't track voter registration but found the claim concerning if accurate. The Congressman referenced the editor's claim that NPR "hitched its wagon" to Adam Schiff on the Trump-Russia story, interviewing him 25 times, and that Russiagate faded after the Mueller report. The witness couldn't confirm this. The Congressman mentioned an NPR editor dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop story as a distraction, which the witness agreed was a mistake. He also cited the editor's claim that NPR became fervent members of the "natural origin" team regarding COVID's origin, declaring the lab leak theory debunked. The Congressman stated NPR was "0 for 3" on big stories but the witness maintained NPR is not politically biased and is a nonpartisan organization.

USAID has been a slush fund for left-wing projects globally, including gender surgeries, DEI policies, and climate initiatives. Billions of dollars funded NGOs, which infiltrated corporations and the public sector. This fueled resettlement of illegal immigrants, promoted equity policies, and advanced radical gender agendas. This massive left-wing power structure, including the media, wasn't organic; it was taxpayer-funded. The outcry against President Trump's cuts to USAID funding stems from this. He's cutting off the funding to organizations that harm America.

It turns out the federal government might be more corrupt than we thought. Politico, known for dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop story, apparently had a "technical error" that prevented paychecks from going out. Some joked it was due to Trump freezing USAID funding. But, digging deeper, it seems Politico received millions from USAID and the government, making it a taxpayer-funded propaganda outlet. Roughly $30 million was traced to Politico, with estimates suggesting 90% of political subscriptions are fake or taxpayer-funded. The investigation uncovered $473 million from USAID to over 4,000 left-wing media outlets, including the New York Times and BBC. This money also funded boycotts against non-left media, like Elon Musk's X. The concern is what the government gets for these millions, election interference, state-funded propaganda, and a censorship industrial complex. This allows the left to censor alternative voices as misinformation, covering everything from COVID to war in Ukraine, and the radical left's corruption.

NPR and PBS heads testified before Congress this week, facing accusations of liberal bias. The question is whether the government should continue funding public broadcasters. Republicans have long sought to eliminate PBS. The speaker believes NPR is far left and that government subsidies are no longer necessary. These outlets became popular when political polarization was lower. Now that Republicans and Democrats are at odds, such organizations are no longer viable as public entities and should be private.

We were covering an article about 55,000 Democrat NGOs discovered to be contributing to campaigns, moving things around, and pushing propaganda. It was discovered through AI that to figure out where the money's coming from, you have to go through layers and layers, and it's all funneling down to one group or another. It's a giant propaganda machine, a giant regime change machine.

Wikipedia initially adopted a neutrality policy from Nootenia and maintained a genuine effort at neutrality for its first five years. However, over the past decade, it has shifted towards a leftist perspective, particularly in political articles. This change aligns with the broader leftward trend in mainstream news media, which has increasingly excluded conservative sources. As a result, Wikipedia's content has reflected this shift, moving away from a more balanced viewpoint. Even a decade ago, signs of this decline towards a center-left bias were evident.

Media outlets receiving significant funding from the government raises concerns about their objectivity. Millions of dollars flowed to organizations like Politico and the BBC, echoing past scandals like payola in the music industry. The USAID's spending on journals and publications, while sometimes justifiable, saw a dramatic increase under the Biden administration, reaching $8 million annually for Politico, compared to $1.3 million under Trump. This represents a significant portion of Politico's revenue. Similar concerning funding patterns emerged with the BBC and Thomson Reuters. While the New York Times received comparatively less, the increase in funding warrants scrutiny. This situation requires investigation to ensure transparency and maintain public trust in the media's independence. The information is still developing, but citizen journalists are already using publicly available data to shed light on the issue.

In 1983, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was created with bipartisan support. Organizations like the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and National Republican Institute (IRI) were formed to spread democratic ideals, but their actions are now questionable. A significant amount of USAID money flows into the Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS), amounting to billions of dollars. CEPPS then distributes funds to the IRI, NDI, and the International Foundation for Election Systems (IFES). These groups also receive separate funding directly from USAID, essentially getting double the money. The NED, funded by the State Department, also funnels money to the NDI, Republicans, and Internews Network. Powerful politicians sit on the boards of these organizations, raising concerns that the money isn't being used as intended, which would likely spark public outrage if exposed.
