"Fact-checkers" and "fake news busters" pose as "journalists." Under the pretense of "objective journalism," their mission is the systemic redlining of free speech — and in ways that are imperceptible to most Americans. They operate primarily under the umbrella of demo/ leftmedia propagandists who, in recent years, have perfected their scheme to undermine the First Amendment. The "fact-checkers" and "fake news raters" find a way to flag conservative news platforms for inert and obscure "violations," then they apply a poor rating to those platforms. Social media platforms, the most influential information networks, then use those ratings to severely restrict the number of people conservative news can reach.

Yes, there are some "conservative" platforms that deserve to be buried — like infoWars, the obscene website of conspiracy narcissist nut alex jones. But the real objective of these so-called "fact checkers" is not to target the fringe platforms, but to hit legitimate news platforms. They form leftist fronts to suppress free speech, thus undermining free elections — and ultimately, to ensure liberal/ democrat majorities and policies.

One of those "arbiter of truth" outfits is called NewsGuard, a news rating site that you have likely never heard of — but it is significantly influencing what you will never hear from conservative websites. NewsGuard downgraded Fox News while retaining a perfect rating for CNN, despite the latter having a lengthy history of documented blatantly biased "reporting" and fake news dissemination. Any journalist with an ounce of integrity would be hard pressed to find presentations of "hard news" on CNN that are not, in fact, imbued with their opinion. But because that opinion comports with leftist political and cultural views, it gets a pass. Apparently they want to destroy Fox News' dominance over CNN and the rest of the leftist cable Demo cabal, using any means. It’s no coincidence that the Fox downgrade came after it had been exposing NewsGuard's "misinformation ” (aka: disinformation) pacts with organizations like the American Federation of Teachers.

NewsGuard laughably warns its subscribers to beware of sites because they fail to meet its "nine journalistic criteria," a failure that calls for the issuance of this ominous warning: "Proceed with caution: This website fails to adhere to several basic journalistic standards."

Fox News response? They said this: "NewsGuard is a for-profit organization operating under the guise of an objective public service. Their management and editorial teams rely heavily on left-leaning sourcing to attempt to silence diversity of thought in media. FOX News is proud of the coverage we provide our dedicated viewers, which is why we attract the most politically diverse audience in cable news.” The Washington Free Beacon wrote an exposé on NewsGuard's principal ties to the liberal/ democrat Party. The Beacon also reminded us that NewsGuard founder Steven Brill bought into the mass media blackout regarding Hunter Biden's laptop, even publicly declaring: "There's a high likelihood this story is a hoax, maybe even a hoax perpetrated by the Russians again." Brill noted that is among the reasons the New York Post, which exposed the truth about hunter biden's laptop and how it connected to joe, the "big guy," to the Communist Chinese, also has a low NewsGuard rating.

NewsGuard and a handful of other fact-checkers(1 ) and news-raters act as surrogates for the mass social media platforms — where the largest number of people get their news. If a conservative website has a low rating, facebook and other social media platforms suppress the reach of conservative speech. There is NO recourse as of yet because Congress is too busy focusing on "cancel culture," which is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Cancel culture is a political soundbite for the deliberate and systemic suppression of conservative information on social media platforms would make the old Soviet commissars blush.

Unbelievably, there is now a movement by some of the largest Leftmedia news outlets to intentionally blur the line between hard news and analysis/ opinion — which outlets like CNNbs already do unabated. I can assure you it will not impact their NewsGuard rating.

1. NewsGuard cites BuzzFeed as a source. That would be the same BuzzFeed that published the fake Trump/Russia dossier, produced by the DNC in cooperation with mrs. b.j. clinton.
