Reuters Media Caught Red-Handed in Gov’t.-Funded Musk Attacks, But It Gets Even Worse

Mike Benz has revealed how the federal government financially supports Reuters, which spreads government propaganda against “disinformation. ” Records show that the U. S. government has given the Thomas Reuters Foundation contracts worth $300 million. It seems strange for the government to fund a news organization, and this raises concerns about bias, as organizations receiving such money may skew coverage to align with government narratives. Benz’s comments highlight that Reuters has been particularly critical of Elon Musk, especially after he acquired X, which has challenged traditional media's control.

This criticism is notable because it transcends typical political attacks from Democrat groups; it reveals a troubling relationship between government funding and journalistic integrity. The Twitter Files have exposed how censorship was driven not just by private companies, but was also influenced by the Biden government, showcasing a broader issue of government overreach into media.

Elon Musk reacted to the findings by calling out corrupt media that is funded by certain political agendas. Benz further questions whether Reuters' ties to the government affect its reporting, noting examples where companies might bias their work to secure contracts. The situation reflects a pattern of political corruption where publications may shift their focus based on government preferences.

The aggressive stance taken by Reuters against Musk is part of a larger history of biased reporting, where journalists have moved between journalism and roles in tech companies that engage in censoring content. Recent staff transitions at Reuters raise concerns about the objectivity of its reporting, with individuals involved in "disinformation" initiatives taking editorial positions.

Historically, Reuters has acted as a channel for CIA and British Intelligence agendas, with past revelations showing that British intelligence funded the organization to push anti-Soviet narratives, disguising these actions under normal news operations. This alignment with intelligence operations casts doubt on its credibility and independence.

Beyond direct government funding, Reuters also receives financial support from Google for initiatives that target “misinformation. ” They have launched a woke news app to address issues like climate change but have also been linked to campaigns calling for more censorship of viewpoints skeptical of green energy, showcasing a lack of independence in their journalism.

Overall, these trends suggest that Reuters operates not as an independent news source, but as an extension of government and corporate interests, influencing public perception while receiving significant financial backing. The implications call for a reevaluation of how media organizations like Reuters operate and their relationship with governmental funding and intelligence activities.
