A state-funded 'disinformation' lab behind a conservative media blacklist expressed paranoia after a dcexaminer report on the covert operation, with an employee worrying 'if anything will come back to us,' messages show.

A state-funded"disinformation" lab behind a conservative media blacklist expressed paranoia after a Washington Examiner report on the covert operation, with an employee worrying"if anything will come back to us," messages show.

Michael Mosser, whom the lab says is the executive director, responded minutes later that he"hate[s] going to those sources," seemingly referring to the Washington Examiner and National Review. He added that the lab will"have to prepare some sort of response to have at the ready" that should"be as anodyne as possible."

The endowment announced in mid-February that it would no longer grant money to GDI"to avoid the perception that NED is engaged in any work domestically, directly or indirectly." "I mean the methodology goes out of its way to look at very basic journalistic practice," an undisclosed employee messaged."Even if you want to quibble with how some of that was operationalized."

"They are instrumental in providing data to a bunch of people that I am not sure if I am allowed to talk about," Dickerson reportedly emailed.
