In reality, $44,000 of the payments to Politico came from USAid, for subscriptions to E&E, an energy-focused offshoot of the company, in 2023 and 2024, the Dispatch reported after reviewing the purchases.
Yes, their office paid for a service they provide that is not their news paper, nor was it just given to them. It also is no where near 8 million dollars. Beyond that, politico offers services that almost everyone in congress, GOP or DNC, pays for, that has nothing to do with their news paper
Conservative media relies on dogshit takes and outright lies and misinformation. Daily Mail is such a rag of a tabloid, it's unreal.
Yeah, all our news media sucks, but right wing media has become like a caricature of a dystopian novel's government's propaganda bureaucracy
