And how many are sort of neutral and don't know?

But I'll give you some examples to sort of fill in the gaps here.

So the State Department works with these entities like the Global Disinformation Index, who folks may have heard of, which basically does ratings of all the different independent news sites and gets them blacklisted from the advertisers.

NewsGuard is a major player in this space.

NewsGuard, you know, developed this, you know, news nutrition labels to sort of do for websites what nutrition labels on milk cartons do.

You know, they give you the breakdown of how much fat and carbs and protein is.

And they said that they set themselves up to do news nutrition labels for news, food nutrition labels for news, so that

advertisers would be able to have a sense of how high information integrity this news site was, and if it was a misinformation website or a misinformation social media account.

So that, and they announced this before they even launched their first commercial product, is that the intent of this was to deprive advertising revenue.

They literally created a for-profit censorship product of vast databases

over 10,000 websites, might even be 20,000 at this point, websites all ranked by whether or not they are misinformation or not.

And you can guess where that falls, literally spin the globe.

And I can tell you who in that, which country's media is going to be, have a low,

a low rating by news guards simply by who the State Department wins the election.

Literally run a Google search for threat to democracy with the name Bolivia, Denmark, you name it, and you can see who will be censored.

And NewsGuard, its whole business model is selling censorship whitelist labels to the advertising conglomerates to stop advertising revenue from flowing to websites like Breitbart or OAN or any number of websites.

pro-Trump websites here in the US, or pro-Brexit websites in the UK, or pro-Vox party websites in Spain, or pro-Matteo Salvini websites in Italy, the AFD party, you can go through the list.

It is as predictable as a clock.

Now, but who's on NewsGuard's board of advisors?

Let me give you a list.
