Michael Chamberlain analyzes National Endowment for Democracy's funding of Global Disinformation Index to suppress conservative voices

Michael Chamberlain discusses the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and its funding of the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) to suppress conservative voices and Trump's message with John Solomon on this podcast episode. The grant, which started in July 2020 and was supposed to end in September 2022, was canceled due to publicity. GDI's reports boasted of diverting $100 million in ad revenue from conservative sites on their dynamic exclusion list. The work, initially framed as academic research, was actually about demonetizing and de-amplifying dissenting voices. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents revealed GDI's impact on American politics and media.
