Excerpt:
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are demanding more documents from the censorship service NewsGuard in their probe of the company’s collusion with federal “misinformation” monitors.
On Friday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer of Kentucky sent a letter to NewsGuard executives “to seek additional documents and communications” from the censorship group related to “present contracts with or grants administered by federal government agencies or any other government entity, including foreign governments.”
NewsGuard is one of the more popular web browser extensions deployed in K-12 classrooms across the country with the support of federal taxpayer funding. The service rates the credibility of online websites and redirects users to news organizations approved as regime friendly. Such ratings have been weaponized to censor non-leftist content with misinformation labels for factual reporting on stories such as Hunter Biden’s laptop.
