Massive Media Scandal: USAID Funding for Politico, NY Times, Reuters, AP, BBC, et. al. Revealed

Suddenly everything makes sense.

On Tuesday, staffers at Politico were notified that a ‘technical error’ had prevented paychecks from going out. Many joked that this had something to do with the Trump administration putting a freeze on USAID funding.

Massive Press Scandal As USAID Funding for ‘Politico’ Revealed, and It Gets Worse From There

By Bonchie | RedState, February 05, 2025

With the white-hot light of accountability firmly on USAID, more and more details are coming out about what your taxpayer money was being spent on. From transgender comic books to promoting Moroccan pottery classes, to propagandizing Sri Lankan journalists on the supposed evils of “gender-binary” language, the level of waste and corruption is hard to fathom.

Below is just a small sample of the inexcusable far-left excesses that were funded by hard-working Americans, many of which can barely make ends meet after four years of the Biden administration.

USAID has been completely unaccountable for decades, run by bureaucrats with agendas who believed they answered to nobody.

Now it makes perfect sense.

It’s $34.3M that Politico has received from various swampy federal govt agencies.

Politico is, without a doubt, a totally corrupt propaganda arm of the swamp.

A breakdown of some of the expenditures shows USAID paid $443,998 for just 37 subscriptions to Politico for FDA officials. Another outlay for “subscriptions” cost $862,025.

White House Confirms: Politico Propped Up By Millions Of Dollars From US Government

by Tyler Durden

Update: (1344ET): During Wednesday’s White House presser, spox Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Politico has been getting ‘more than $8 million taxpayer dollars,’ which has ‘gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions.’

Watch:

As journalist Sean Davis of The Federalist points out,

It was Politico that maneuvered to have the Hunter laptop story banned and everyone discussing it censored.

Politico peddled the illegal Supreme Court leak that led to the near-assassination of multiple Supreme Court justices.

And now we find out the regime was funneling tens of millions of dollars of our money to Politico?
