WH Pulls Funding To Media Outlets

Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Turns out, the Biden administration was funneling millions of taxpayer dollars straight into the pockets of Politico, the same outlet that spent the last few years acting as the Democratic Party’s personal PR firm. Shocking, right? Oh, but it doesn’t stop there—because once people started digging, they found that Reuters and the Associated Press were in on the take, too.

Now, for those who still believe the mainstream media is some sort of noble, independent institution—first of all, how adorable—but second, let’s just break this down. The federal government was handing over millions of taxpayer dollars under the guise of “premium subscriptions.” And not just a few million, but $34 million to Politico alone. And just in case the timeline isn’t clear enough, over $8 million of that was doled out during the 2024 election year—the same year Politico went full attack dog on the Trump campaign while pretending Joe Biden was a functioning president, and Kamala Harris wasn’t, well… Kamala Harris.

And now, as the light shines a little too brightly on this operation, the leftist media and their enablers are scrambling for damage control. Their excuse? These weren’t bribes, they were just “premium subscriptions.” You know, those $10,000-$30,000 subscriptions that are apparently necessary for government agencies. Because, of course, the Department of Agriculture or the National Park Service absolutely needed high-priced Politico subscriptions to…what? Get the latest hit piece on conservative candidates?

The whole thing would be laughable if it weren’t so corrupt. And the only reason this grift is being exposed now is because people have finally started digging through publicly available records using open-source search tools. Turns out, when you follow the money, you find out exactly why the media was so desperate to keep Trump out of office and Biden’s scandals under wraps.

But here’s the good news: the gravy train just got derailed. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt came out and said those taxpayer-funded handouts are over. She confirmed that the DOGE team (Department of Government Ethics) is actively canceling those payments. Now, let’s be clear—this doesn’t mean the corruption stops here. If Politico, Reuters, and the AP were cashing in, you can bet other outlets were too. And given how cozy the Biden administration was with Big Tech, who knows what else is lurking in those financial statements?

This whole situation raises a bigger question: how long has this been happening? Because let’s not kid ourselves—Biden’s team didn’t invent this scheme overnight. This is just one part of a much larger machine that has been greased with taxpayer dollars for years. Politico got caught because someone was paying attention, but now the question is, who else was in on the game?

One thing’s for sure—this won’t be the last revelation. The media and the Democrats have spent years crying about “misinformation” and “election integrity” while secretly using taxpayer dollars to fund their own propaganda. And now that the pipeline is getting shut down expect even more hysteria from the usual suspects. Because when you cut off the money, the panic sets in.

So get your popcorn ready—this is just getting started.
