Anti disinformation group complains about X not censoring RT

Russia Today or RT has been the main line of pushing the actual truth about the Ukraine narrative that isn’t mainstream curated propaganda made to sell you to support giving a country billions of dollars for no reason.

For a long time the people who complain about “disinformation” have kept their outlet in the dark and since Elon took over their traffic has surged since they aren’t shadowbanned anymore.

Seeing news outlets that push real news and not what the government says angers these groups and have accused Elon Musk of promoting “dangerous” conspiracies because their articles get more impressions now.

NewsGuard, a self-proclaimed disinformation watchdog, has lamented the rise in popularity of RT and 11 other news outlets after Elon Musk relaxed censorship on X (formerly Twitter).

Among 12 media accounts analyzed, RT experienced the highest engagement growth in the 90 days following Musk’s decision in April to remove ‘government-funded’ and ‘state-affiliated’ labels from certain outlets, NewsGuard said on Tuesday. The number of ‘likes’ and reposts for RT’s account increased to 2.5 million in the period studied, up from 1.3 million.

The analysis focused on Chinese, Iranian, and Russian media outlets, which NewsGuard branded “state-run disinformation sources” and purveyors of “propaganda.”

NewsGuard cited political memes posted by Iranian news accounts as purported examples of disinformation. Another instance was supposedly a link shared by Iran’s PressTV to an article on remarks made by US presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who argued that Americans “created” the Islamic State terrorist group. Kennedy made the claim during an election rally in Boston, where he accused Washington of decades of misguided foreign policy.

Do not search the outlets of other countries that US state department doesn’t like only you can believe the story from what CNN says. Or else you might be under the control of foreign influence because you read RT instead of CNN on news about the Ukraine war.

The self-described disinformation watchdog advocates imposing strict moderation on online platforms to protect users from supposed foreign influence. NewsGuard’s rating of news outlets generally labels mainstream Western media as trustworthy, while outlets linked with governments opposed by the US are branded deceitful.

Which is ironic since this organization is owned by a CIA agent and other intelligence groups that tried to cover up the Hunter laptop from being seen by the public.

Among NewsGuard’s advisers is Michael Hayden, a former head of the CIA and the NSA. He was notably one of the more than 50 former intelligence officials who claimed in 2020 that the factual New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

Others include former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, former US Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge, and former US Under Secretary of State Richard Stengel. The latter stated publicly that his job in the Obama administration was jokingly described as “chief propagandist” by others.

The Pentagon and Microsoft have contracted NewsGuard services.

So a group founded by intelligence officers isn’t an espionage operation, but a outlet from Russia that says something that isn’t approved by the mainstream media is.

They complain about Russian trolls meanwhile this is what is leading the censorship of “hate speech” and “disinformation” in our own land along with the Jewish lobby groups.

I will keep reading RT or any other outlet that is called to be censored since it ensures that they are providing the real story from what most Americans are getting from their timelines and TV.
