The StateDept is steering over $37,000 to a Bolivian nonprofit group to launch a 'campaign against disinformation' training program for journalists in the South American country. Thwarting alleged 'disinformation' has remained a top priority of POTUS.
The State Department is steering over $37,000 to a Bolivian nonprofit group to launch a"campaign against disinformation" training program for journalists in the South American country, funding documents show.
The grant is a window into how the Biden administration has continually sought to make fighting purported"disinformation" a global effort. The State Department, for instance, is currently fielding applications for an award that will see one U.S. group take home $1.9 million to craft a sweeping media education program that will train people in at least 16 European and Central Asian countries on how to counter"disinformation," documents show.
Andres Albarran, a spokesman for the State Department, said in a statement to the Washington Examiner that the agency"regularly supports training for foreign journalists on fact-checking and information literacy." The spokesman confirmed that"a portion of the grant funding" has already been disbursed in connection to the Bolivian program — which will purportedly only be for journalists in the country.
Bolivia Verifica, or Bolivia verifies, said that some of its"allies" are Politifact, a nonprofit group under Poynter, and the Thomson Foundation, a London-based media group that has pocketed over $860,000 from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, according to public grant records.
