Incredible reporting, as always. Tip of the spear at exposing IO campaigns here.

Natalie, thank you for continuing to pull back the curtain with this kind of rigorous investigative work. It is truly eye-opening to see these dynamics laid out so clearly. What troubles me most is how deeply the American public is being snowed by mainstream journalists who treat the news more like a PR machine than a public trust. They are acting as grifters—pushing self-serving narratives the exact same way figures like Al Sharpton have for years. We need more independent reporters willing to expose this. Keep knocking it out of the park!

Amen! If the American people/voters could all appreciate and grasp important issues as well as you and Ms. Winters present them, America’s freedom and sovereignty would be assured for the future. In this increasingly deceptive age, with treasonous media professionals acting like longtime political grifters, it’s nearly impossible for the masses to maintain the open mind for critical thinking necessary to discern and know the truth of this world around us! Doublespeak is a sad reality that already has a significant share of our people blindly following these corrupted mainstream media propaganda narratives as truth! Internet Archive quote. “…in the words of the infamous William J. Casey, ‘We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.’

Trump should have read these names at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Yglesias and Klein are the worst akshually abundance bros. No doubt many TDS substackers are on the CCP payroll as well, their engagement numbers are suspiciously low relative to their paid and free subs.

Awesome report, wow. You should now do a similar report on Canadian mainstream media/reporters, China pretty much owns Canada and the media right now. Our beautiful country is being destroyed and the media is playing a huge part...

Just as I suspected, mainstream media has been bought and paid for by communists. They sold out their country for a few dollars and the damage they did is tearing the US apart. Sadly, not many care about their reputations and can and will probably retire with the money, or write some lame book or give speeches. Such a goddamn disgrace.

This is treason. The CCP is our enemy.

The traitors and the enemies of the American patriots are being exposed. Shameful and despicable.

It needs to be popularized, or it will remain in the realm of conspiracy theory. Nobody reads anything anymore

Israel is the biggest threat to our continued existence. They own everybody in D.C. and the media.

GREAT INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM! I hope the news on this gets to EVERYONE WHO NEEDS TO HEAR IT. KUDOS, CONGRATULATIONS, AND MUCH MUCH MUCH APPRECIATION TO EVERYONE WHO DID THE MIND-BOGGLING SEQUENCING ON THIS!

Thank you Natalie, for your amazing thoroughness in confirming our collective suspicions. The media in this nation is bought AND PAID FOR by the enemies of Western Civilization. Now we know their names.

Why wouldn’t China buy influence? With so many people vying for their business it’s a buyer’s market. And you don’t run out of munitions. This is important news, just not surprising. Didn’t Thomas Friedman in 2009 say pretty much the same thing as these useful idiots? No, wait. Useful idiots are usefully idiotic for free. These turncoats have a price: their “reputation" (go ahead and laugh).

No, outstanding work!

If I'm not mistaken, the propaganda mouthpieces for Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany were held to account after those totalitarians were defeated... "Tokyo Rose" and "Lord Heehaw" were arrested and tried. "Rose" (there was more than on) did prison time. The Brits hung "Heehaw".

At least these pressitutes didn't have to marry into the PRC or get their spouse into a Cabinet position (see: "China Mitch")
