The Biden administration will spend taxpayer dollars on a sweeping media education program that will train government employees, media professionals, librarians, educators, and information specialists in foreign countries on 'countering disinformation.'
The Biden administration is set to spend taxpayer dollars on a sweeping media education program that will train government employees, media professionals, librarians, educators, and information specialists in foreign countries on"countering disinformation," according to grant documents reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
A spokesperson for the State Department told the Washington Examiner that"disinformation" remains a"priority issue around the world," noting that the grant will"help achieve U.S. foreign policy goals." The new $1.9 million grant is part of the American Spaces Digital Literacy and Training Program under the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, which"strives to embed diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in all aspects of its work" and"increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries," according to its website. It was posted on March 31 and is accepting applications until June 7.
One Republican lawmaker who has been highly critical of the Biden administration's disinformation initiatives is Rep. Darrell Issa , a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Issa pressed the State Department in March over its grants to the Global Disinformation Index, blasting Secretary of State Antony Blinken for infringing on"the principles of our democracy, and the inherent rights of all Americans.
