Congress Stops NewsGuard
Radical, anti-American subversives have overtaken our most critical government agencies. It should chill every bone in the American body politic. In this instance, leftist destroyers blocked military recruitment ads on many conservative media outlets. Think about that.
Defense Bill Pushes Back Against NewsGuard, Woke Media Monitors
Pentagon dollars will not be allowed to be spent with ad agencies that use “misinformation” media monitors.

House and Senate Armed Services committees last week concluded their negotiations on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Republicans have won a significant victory opposing woke censorship programs that impact Pentagon recruiting.
The Democrat-led Senate has agreed with Johnson’s demand the annual defense spending bill not allow Pentagon dollars to be spent with ad agencies that use “misinformation” media monitors.
Left-wing groups such as NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) have been used by major advertising agencies to block military recruitment ads on many conservative media outlets.
The new NDAA provision expressly prohibits any advertising agency the Defense Department contracts with from using services that engage in “determinations of misinformation.”
The new law would also require the Pentagon to inform the House and Senate Armed Services committees any time the recruitment division directly contracts with NewsGuard, GDI or a similar entity.
The provision had been first been offered as a House amendment to the defense bill by Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., and Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo.
“We are grateful to Speaker Johnson for his hard work to keep this amendment in the final language of the NDAA,” McCormick told Newsmax in a statement.
