Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

For context, Wikileaks revealed that USAID has given nearly half-a-billion dollars to Internews Network, a government-funded NGO. Internews Network has worked with over 4,291 media outlets, producing broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and training over 9,000 journalists.

The organization has offices in over 30 countries, including the US, London, Paris, and regional headquarters in Kiev, Bangkok, and Nairobi.

Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year, heads the organization and has a history with USAID. Internews Network's website has recently removed bios of key people and board members, but records show the board being co-chaired by Democratic donors Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe.

The whole site is feds arguing with other feds, bots, and corporate marketers over who gets to be more racist.
