This is part of a Washington Examiner series on self-styled"disinformation" tracking groups that are blacklisting and trying to defund conservative media outlets. Here is where you can read other stories in the series.
GDI, which has been feeding conservative website blacklists to advertising companies and scored $665,000 combined between 2020 and 2021 from two State Department-funded entities, has slammed Republican lawmakers who said COVID-19 may have emerged from a lab. The Energy Department recently determined that based on classified intelligence, the virus most likely did emerge from a lab, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Washington's project aimed to use GDI data to further"brand safety" initiatives and develop a"processing model" that evaluates websites based on their vision of what constitutes disinformation and misinformation, according to its website. GDI has said the 10"riskiest" news outlets are the American Spectator, Newsmax, the Federalist, the American Conservative, One America News, the Blaze, the Daily Wire, RealClearPolitics, Reason, and the New York Post.
The project's website also cited a July 2020 GDI graphic alleging that"conspiracy theories on origin of the pandemic" and anti-World Health Organization language promote"harm to specific groups." The graphic claimed"lockdown protests" amount to"harm to public order," among other sentiments.
