Biden Administration Paid Corporate Media to Promote COVID Shots with Propaganda Campaign

Strategic Insights -

The Biden administration secretly funded a $1 billion propaganda campaign to promote COVID-19 vaccines while censoring negative information, revealed in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by Blaze Media. The scheme involved paying hundreds of news organizations to advertise for the shots, including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, CNN, Newsmax, MSNBC, and local newspapers and TV stations. Liberty Counsel obtained internal documents showing that Newsmax executives agreed to take government money to push only positive coverage of the COVID shots.
