A GREAT SCANDAL
From the linked article:
Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) investigators have uncovered a Department of Defense (DoD) contract paying Reuters news agency $9 million for a “large scale social deception” project between 2018-2022.
President Trump has demanded that the money be returned immediately.
The contract was uncovered after Reuters released a hit piece on Elon Musk’s DOGE team efforts to uncover government fraud and waste on Wednesday [February 12, 2025].
The discovery about Reuters being paid millions by the DoD is the latest in a growing list of media sources who have been recipients of millions of federal tax dollars.
According to Rasmussen Reports, Politico received $34.3 million, the NY Times $50 million, the Associated Press $19.5 million, the BBC $3.3 million and Reuters $9 million.
American Greatness reported earlier this month that taxpayer dollars were funneled through USAID to more than 6,200 journalists and 707 news outlets in 30 different countries.
Thomson Reuters Special Services says it has received over $120 million in contracts since 2010 from multiple federal agencies including the Dept. of Homeland Security and the DoD.
