This campaign season saw the left still shrieking about the threat of disinformation from the right — even as Democrats openly and proudly embraced their commitment to telling lies and insisting they’re true.
Exhibit 1 Billion: Courier Newsroom, a literal fake news outfit backed by the leading leftoid sugar daddy George Soros.
It also counts prog megadonor Reid Hoffman among the benefactors of its parent, the astonishingly misnamed Good Information Inc.
Courier dropped a cool $9 million backing Kamala Harris’ failed presidential bid.
The way this outfit works is clever.
It pushes Dem talking points on Facebook, the kind of partisan content that normal super PACs regularly pump out to help their favored candidates.
So far, fine.
But Courier laundered pro-Harris propaganda via utterly cooked stories published through one of 11 phony “local news” outlets camouflaged to appear as nonpartisan organizations.
Like Cardinal & Pine, the group’s North Carolina shop.
That mini-Pravda helped push the lie that Donald Trump backs birth-control restrictions.
This agitprop is labeled on Facebook as coming from a “media/news organization.”
And because it’s not a traditional PAC, Courier isn’t subject to federal laws around donor disclosure.
It’s beyond shady.
But you don’t have to take our word for it.
Courier’s so slimy that even mega-hack Brian Stelter — who would happily clean the wingtips of any Democrat running for office with his tongue — considers it “a big problem.”
That’s right: Courier’s too partisan for Brian Stelter.
Happily, this massive disinfo push wasn’t able to move the needle for Harris.
And with good reason: Voters knew where Trump stands, and knew that his policies were better for them than Biden’s and whatever Harris had in mind before her defeat.
Look no further than the electoral and popular votes for proof.
But the whole setup not only stinks to high heaven on its own; it’s also proof positive that Dems are the guilty ones when it comes to disinformation, as anyone who’s been paying attention at all since 2016 knows already.
The left peddled lies about RussiaGate, COVID and everything else.
Or look at the astonishing conspiracy between lib journos, Big Tech and crooked spies that tried to suffocate The Post’s Hunter Biden stories.
And in October CBS edited Kamala’s interview around her word salad on Middle East foreign policy to make her look better.
Courier Newsroom is merely the logical evolution of all this naked partisanship, mixed with a healthy dose of projection.
It’s actually fake news from the people who scream “Fake news!” whenever a story embarrasses them politically.
And one more thing for the Republican Congress to start investigating come January.
