Golly, I wonder how much money from Politico was sent to Biden, Harris… and Hunter?
When in doubt, lie. When caught lying, dig in your heels. When asked why you’re digging in your heels after telling your lie, accuse the questioner of being a Right-Wing conspiracy nut.
Yep, that’s pretty much what’s happening in CNN’s coverage of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealing to the world that vis USAID, Joe Biden’s administration was caught red-handed pumping millions and millions of taxpayer dollars to the reliably Leftist “news” source, Politico.
If you doubt my truthfulness, just read it for yourself. As published by CNN.com (emphasis mine);
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, responding Wednesday to a question about a right-wing conspiracy theory, announced that the federal government would cancel $8 million worth of Politico subscriptions.
Leavitt elevated a bogus claim spreading on social media that Politico and the Associated Press for years received millions of dollars from the US Agency for International Development, which President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have targeted by placing staff on leave. In reality, the payments represented the whole of the federal government’s subscriptions to the news outlets’ services. All federal agencies combined spent $8.2 million last year on Politico Pro, according to USASpending.gov.
… Politico received $8.2 million across 237 transactions.
Hmmm, CNN is now the loudspeaker for Politico AND accept their BS excuse as factual? Golly gee, CNN, not even going to dig even a little?
But we’re all supposed to believe that federal employees are guaranteed the latest from Politico delivered into their in-box?
To the tune of over eight million dollars every year? I realize that some folks make quite the pretty penny from selling subscriptions, but millions a year? I wish I could get a piece of that action.
Please consider this; $8.2 million across 237 transactions is an average of $34,599 per transaction. Shouldn’t each subscription be to “Joe Schmucatelli, US State Department, Washington, DC“? Even if I do believe the left-wing conspiracy theory that all this is legit and only for subscriptions, nearly $35,000 PER SUBCRIPTION?
One other point to consider – as noted on Politico’s own subscription website, the cheapest yearly subscription is $200 a year. That mean that (supposedly) Biden’s administration signed up 41,000 individuals. That’s just on one fake news source, per year.
I ain’t buying it. The Left-Wing Establishment Media is real… I don’t care how many times they demand I shouldn’t believe my lying eyes.
Fun Fact: @Politico received USAID funds.
