It's Real Clear NewsGuard is Evil

Lee Fang and RealClear Investigations Eviscerate "Fact Checker"

Real Clear Investigations writer Lee Fang today published a detailed look behind the curtain that is NewsGuard, one of the most evil elements of the “disinformation” industry.

If the name NewsGuard is familiar, that’s because they were recently sued by Consortium News, a site very critical of much of the United States’ foreign policy.

The suit notes that NewsGuard – a for-profit company -  works for the Pentagon, hence – allegedly -  its slapping of a untrustworthy warning on every article the site has ever produced - https://thecheckmate.substack.com/p/guardian-of-truth.

This is not merely an inconvenience – it is financially damaging because NewsGuard ratings are used by a massive number of advertisers to decide whether or not they want to be “associated” with a particular website.

Do read the piece, though.  It’s skincrawling.
