The Most Chilling Words Today: I’m from NewsGuard and I am Here to Rate you
31 Jul 2024 ~~ By Jonathan Turley
Recently, I wrote a Hill column criticizing NewsGuard, a rating operation being used to warn users, advertisers, educators and funders away from media outlets based on how it views the outlets’ “credibility and transparency.”
Roughly a week later, NewsGuard came knocking at my door. My blog, Res Ipsa (jonathanturley.org), is now being reviewed and the questions sent by NewsGuard were alarming, but not surprising.
I do not know whether the sudden interest in my site was prompted by my column. I have previously criticized NewsGuard as one of the most sophisticated operations being used to “white list” and “black list” sites.
Commentary:
IMHO, Jonathan Turley is one of the few really honest, fair, and even-handed liberals with a presence on the national stage.
I don’t always agree with him. But, I always consider his words.
Hmm....., I wonder if this group has failed all the media outlets that have been wrong about almost every “conspiracy theory” that’s come up in the last 15 or so years as true.
