Terrorist-Friendly Propaganda Aggregator Reuters Took $9 Million from Biden's DoD For... "Large Scale Social Deception" and "Active Social Engineering"

Happy Friday, and Happy Valentine's Day.

I would guess that this money was granted not to do these things, but to stop "Right Wing Russian Extremists" from doing them.

But of course, the left has justified its government-sponsored censorship and propaganda on the claim that Right Wing Russian Extremists are A Threat So Threatening that the Constitution is basically repealed until the emergency is over, which is never, because tyrants never declare an emergency over.

So we're paying foreign leftwing propaganda networks to censor the American citizenry.

Again.

The news that Reuters had a multimillion-dollar contract with the Defense Department for "large scale social deception" has reignited concerns about government influence over media organizations. The contract, covering a period from 2018 to 2022, was uncovered through a purchase order posted by Elon Musk, raising eyebrows over the scope and purpose of the arrangement.

When asked about the contract, Reuters did not directly respond to whether the federal government routinely collaborates with the organization to deceive the public. Steve Rubley, CEO of Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS), claimed that TRSS is a "separate U.S. legal entity" from Reuters News and operates independently. However, this explanation has not quelled skepticism, particularly given longstanding allegations that Reuters has worked to advance government narratives in the past.

President Donald Trump weighed in on the controversy, calling for Reuters to "GIVE BACK THE MONEY, NOW!" He pointed to the contract as further proof of left-wing media's entanglement with government interests. Musk, who has been outspoken against corruption and misinformation, called the revelation "a total scam" and vowed to investigate Reuters' financial ties with the government.

Reuters has long promoted itself as a neutral and ethical news agency, claiming to uphold "the values of integrity and freedom." However, this contract raises significant concerns about whether its coverage has been influenced by financial ties to government agencies. Journalist Carl Bernstein has previously reported on Reuters' alleged links to intelligence operations, further fueling doubts about its independence.
