NBC News helps foreigners influence the 2020 election

NBC news teamed up with a foreign "research" company--actually a left wing activist organization-- in an attempt to silence conservative voices prior to the 2020 election.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate(CCDH) is based in the UK and has direct links to the UK government and the senior members of the UK Labor Party.

It worked with NBC to get Google to "demonetize" the Federalist a conservative site.

The crime?  Someone posted what the CCDH said was a racist comment on the site.

The CCDH didn't cite any racist comments by the Federalist itself though they did say that "conspiracy theories" about the riots resulting from George Floyds death are apparently impermissible speech in their opinion. They don't appear to be bothered that all the "conspiracy theories" about Trump colluding with Russia have been shown to be wrong.

I'm so old that I remember when NBC was decrying foreign interference in the 2016 election; interference that turns out to have been minimal and ineffectual.

But now NBC is teaming with foreigners to silence voices on one side of the 2020 election.

That's real and dangerous interference since we the people can't vote intelligently if all we hear is left wing propaganda.
