NewsGuard, the Internet traffic cop NewsGuard made a mockery of itself by awarding perfect grades to media outlets trying to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Organizations of left-wing news Politico, The Washington Post Axios and USA Today All maligned Biden’s bombshell by The New York Post as possibly part of a 2020 “disinformation” campaign.
This story allegedly revealed Hunter Biden’s emails exposing his father’s corruption in Ukraine. The New York TimesThe emails that liberal media attempted to ignore for many months have been authenticated by the government. However, they were also linked to an ongoing federal investigation.
Despite this, NewsGuard has the outlets rated with perfect 100/100 scores for “credibility.”
NewsGuard CEO Steve Brill was exposed recently for selling the same fake information to CNBC 2020. He accused the Hunter Biden laptop story could be a Russian “hoax” while dubiously propping up his own company as an internet hall monitor.
NewsGuard’s propaganda labels for Politico, The Washington Post Axios. USA Today all read as follows: “This website adheres to all nine of NewsGuard’s standards of credibility and transparency.” What a joke. A 2020 MRC poll found that 45 percent of President Joe Biden’s voters weren’t fully aware of the Post Because the media mostly ignored it, this story was largely forgotten. “Full awareness” would have led 9.4 percent of Biden voters to abandon him, flipping all six of the swing states he won to former President Donald Trump.
Axios had the worst take on Hunter’s emails: “The Post story rings all the foreign-disinformation alarms in the book.” It continued, slamming the New York Post’s objectivity: “But it’s also the product of a long-established, though also heavily partisan, media outlet, and the swift action against it will rankle a lot of journalists.”
Politico, in lockstep, plastered a blaring headline on its Oct. 19, 2020, story that read: “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.” Politico Editorialized the article
Although there is no evidence of Russian involvement in the publication of the emails that the Post has obtained, its general thrust mirrors a narrative that U.S. intelligence agencies have described as part of an active Russian disinformation effort aimed at denigrating Biden’s candidacy, [emphasis added].
Both Axios and PoliticoNewsGuard scores currently at 100/100 But that’s not all. The Washington Post’s phony fact-checker Glenn Kessler floated “that the [Hunter] emails could be part of a broader disinformation campaign.” His newspaper got a perfect rating by NewsGuard’s heavily skewed ratings system.
NewsGuard partner in pravda USA Today It was worse. Their story was not better. Post as a “tabloid”: “A tabloid got a trove of data on Hunter Biden from Rudy Giuliani. Now, the FBI is probing a possible disinformation campaign.” USA Today cited an anonymous source to run the Russian “disinformation” angle:
[F]Federal authorities are currently investigating whether Rudy Giuliani (President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer) provided material to the Post as part of Russian disinformation.
Axios, Washington Post, PoliticoPlease see the following: USA Today didn’t post any updates to their stories following The Times revelation about the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop.
A recent MRC study found that outlets rated “left” or “lean left” by AllSides received an average NewsGuard score of 93/100. Sites considered “right” or “lean right” by AllSides had an average NewsGuard rating of 66/100.
