Вот смотрите, как прекрасно:

Politico финансируется правительством на сумму 8.1 миллионов.

И ещё:

The US Government gave the New York Times tens of millions of dollars over just the past 5 years despite paying relatively little money to the NYT in the years preceding 2021. For instance, in August 2024, the US government awarded $4.1 million to the NYT.

The bulk of the funds came from the US Department of Health and Human Services at $26.90m, followed by the National Science Foundation at $19.15m

И ещё:

The Associated Press has been raking in millions of dollars in government money for years

Это не то, что кто-то подписочку на газетку купил. Это миллионы и десятки миллионов, которые правительство платит из наших налогов левой "независимой прессе". И о котором они почему-то до сих пор ничего, насколько мне известно, не упоминали. 

P.S. A newly uncovered federal contract shows that Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC (TRSS) was awarded over $9 million for a secretive program labeled “Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED) Large Scale Social Deception (LSD).” 

 

The contract, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), suggests the U.S. government is funding large-scale influence operations designed to shape public narratives.

PPS: The Politico scandal is worse than you think. It’s not $8M that Politico received from USAID. It’s $34.3M that Politico has received from various swampy federal govt agencies.
