White House to Track 'Media Offenders,' Forgets Its Own Lobbyist Tracker
Deutsche Welle reports the Biden administration is now weaponizing 'engagement data' to highlight outlets deemed, presumably, insufficiently aligned with official narratives. This, from an administration that conveniently overlooks the decades-long, publicly available tracking of lobbying money flowing into congressional pockets. Imagine if the White House deployed such precision to highlight,
say, the $450K Rep. Smith (D-NY) took from AIPAC in 2023 ( OpenSecrets.org ), just before voting for billions in unconditional aid. One might wonder if the real 'offenders' are those who challenge the official line, or perhaps, those who accept millions from foreign-aligned super PACs while simultaneously approving policies detrimental to American interests, let alone the lives of countless
civilians. Whose 'narrative' really needs tracking, and whose gets a free pass?
