The Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a foreign think tank headquartered in the United Kingdom, released an assessment of American online media designed to blacklist conservative media outlets and choke off their advertising revenue. The information is kept on what GDI calls its \u201cDynamic Exclusion List.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ad networks \u2014 including most prominently\u00a0Xandr\u00a0<\/a>\u2014 which is owned by\u00a0Microsoft\u00a0<\/a>\u2014 are\u00a0now\u00a0using this list to refuse to allow advertising on conservative media websites.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has yet to respond to a request for comment regarding Xandr\u2019s use of the Dynamic Exclusion List, which is censoring conservative outlets.<\/p>\n

\n

GDI in December\u00a0released\u00a0<\/a>its report that detailed the alleged \u201cdisinformation risk\u201d for the American online media market in partnership with the Global Disinformation Lab (GDIL), a think tank at the University of Texas at Austin that generates policy recommendations and solutions to combat disinformation.<\/p>\n

The GDI report on the American online media landscape reviewed 69 news outlets, and listed ten outlets it found are the most at risk of spreading disinformation, and ten outlets that are the least likely to spread disinformation. GDI rated conservative sites as having the highest risk for spreading disinformation and liberal websites as the most trusted.<\/p>\n

The report found many left-wing outlets that were the least risky, which include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. HuffPost<\/li>\n
  2. New York Times<\/li>\n
  3. The Washington Post<\/li>\n
  4. AP News<\/li>\n
  5. NPR<\/li>\n
  6. ProPublica<\/li>\n
  7. BuzzFeed News<\/li>\n
  8. USA Today<\/li>\n
  9. Insider<\/li>\n
  10. Wall Street Journal<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    GDI labeled NPR, AP News, the\u00a0New York Times<\/i>, and ProPublica as the \u201cfour minimum-risk sites.\u201d A report from the\u00a0Washington Examiner<\/i>\u00a0detailed\u00a0<\/a>that, citing a senior executive, Breitbart News is on the GDI\u2019s Dynamic Exclusion List.<\/p>\n

    In contrast, the outlets at most risk of sharing disinformation were right-leaning, which include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. New York Post<\/li>\n
    2. RealClearPolitics<\/li>\n
    3. Reason Magazine<\/li>\n
    4. The Federalist<\/li>\n
    5. The Daily Wire<\/li>\n
    6. The Blaze<\/li>\n
    7. One America News Network<\/li>\n
    8. The American Conservative<\/li>\n
    9. Newsmax<\/li>\n
    10. The American Spectator<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      GDI has not responded to several requests from Breitbart News for comment about the nature of its Dynamic Exclusion List and the organizations it partners with, as well as requests to connect with a spokesperson. GDI did not respond to comments requests\u00a0on December 13, December 27, January 5, and January 23.<\/p>\n

      After these many press inquiries, GDI has refused to release its Dynamic Exclusion List despite assertions on its website that its work is guided by \u201cneutrality\u201d, \u201cindependence\u201d and \u201ctransparency.\u201d<\/p>\n

      Breitbart is on the list \u2013 somewhere.\u00a0 But, again, GDI refuses to disclose the full List.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
