President Donald Trump announced on True Social on Thursday that he said “it could be the biggest scandal for them all, and perhaps the biggest scandal in history.” did. He argued (in capital letters) that “billions of dollars are robust in USAID and other institutions, many of which go to fake news media as “in return” to create a good story about the Democrats.” The president allegedly received $8 million from the federal government, and questioned whether the New York Times and other media outlets were also paid.
What Trump describes as scandalous national funding for media outlets is, in fact, the mediocre business of government agencies paying for subscriptions from those stores.
Even men with long records of spreading misinformation and misinformation, this ranks there as one of his most stupid theories of conspiracy.
What Trump describes as scandalous national funding for media outlets is, in fact, the mediocre business of government agencies paying for subscriptions from those stores. Not only is this uncorrupted, but it’s good for a working democracy to keep federal workers up to date with the news. The administration’s subsequent decision to cancel all subscriptions to media outlets, which were billed as a way to make the government more “efficient” and not corrupt, has led to an extreme, uninformed attitude of modern American rights. Distill.
Watching Politico’s “scandal” unfolded online was hilarious and terrifying turn. The prominent pro-Trump voice shares “news” that money from USAID and other government agencies is heading towards the media, saying, “Everything makes sense” or “If this isn’t prima facie corruption, What is that? They apparently believed that Democrats secretly discovered smoking guns that proved “funding” politics and other media outlets. Trump and X CEO Elon Musk then turbocharged the smears, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the government is “subsidizing” American taxpayer Dime.
These accusations are nonsense. First of all, “billions of dollars” don’t go to these media outlets. In 2023 and 2024, in the case of Politico, USAID paid the media outlet a total of $44,000. Plus, it’s not scandalous about subscribing to a newspaper, just as it’s not scandalous for the government to pay laptop makers.
Politico is mostly free, but under Politico Pro and E&E News, there is a special subscription with a large price tag on Institutional Subscribers. In exchange for that fee, subscribers will obtain legal, policy and data expert briefings and professional real-time analyses for a particular subject area. In a statement, Politico said most of its subscribers are from the private sector. However, it is also important that policymakers and regulators remain high quality and up-to-date in the areas they are responsible for. Governments that develop democratic and evidence-based policies should absorb as much independent information as possible, so they will make them better in their work. This is precisely why Politico Pro has many subscribers in Congress from both parties, including MAGA politicians such as Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado.
The New York Times also feels its duty to release a statement to dispel right-wing rumors, with the presence of many subscribers across the federal government between both Democrats and Republican presidents, as well as the federal government’s He said that subscriptions will be less than 1/. One-thousandth of the company’s annual revenue.
Of course, men who are pitching harmful ideas that social media could serve as a substitute for professional media have made newspaper subscriptions for public policy experts “a huge waste of taxpayer money.” I’ll call you.
While many self-appointed online detectives from X can’t trust them to think about what they’re talking about, the Trump administration says they’re canceling subscriptions to all media outlets You can trust that you know exactly what you’re doing in the presentation. Through general service management. “Sauron’s eyes are more than just politics,” a White House adviser told Axios. “It’s all in the media.” The Trump administration is stealing useful information from its own staff to own Libs. What matters to them more than informed staff and decision makers is to win the broader culture war against the so-called liberal media. The Pentagon has also been kicked out of its dedicated internal workspace for journalists, including NBC News, which is part of the Pentagon-focused press squad, in a new, mostly right-wing outlet. It’s rotating. Fox News also takes over Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to host a new weekly show, depicting an unprecedented new pathway in American propaganda.
It makes perfect sense that Musk, a right-wing demagogue seeking to radically reshape the federal government, is eager to blow the flames here. Of course, men who sell the harmful idea that social media could serve as a substitute for professional media have made newspaper subscriptions for public policy experts “a huge waste of taxpayer money.” I’ll call you. His information projects revolve around the collapse of credible information, keeping people in the dark and exploiting the most basic instincts of the people. Meanwhile, in the shadows, Musk and his companions do what they can to place the government on their will.
