Reported by Blaze News on March 3, 2022, they reveal that in response to a FOIA request, the US government paid hundreds of “trusted” media companies, blurring the line between advertising and objective news reporting when it came to COVID-19 vaccines. [1]
Hundreds of news organisations were paid by the US federal government to promote COVID-19 vaccines as part of a $1 billion campaign to “strengthen vaccine confidence”, paying for “influences” and using “experts” such as Dr Anthony Fauci, yet no advertising disclaimer was provided. [2, 3]
A Blaze News FOIA request reveals that HHS purchased (with taxpayer money) COVID-19 vaccine advertising from major news networks, legacy media publications, digital media companies as well as hundreds of local newspapers and TV stations, all to “build vaccine confidence” in line with vaccine availability. [4]
At the same time, these media outlets collectively published “uniformly positive” [propaganda!] articles and video segments about vaccine efficacy and safety along with COVID-19 “fear based” stories. [5, 6]
Insiders have shared that the media outlets took the governments money to fund positive stories, and positive coverage of vaccines, the very definition of propaganda.
