Senate Bans NewsGuard from Military Contracts
The Senates recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act includes a significant new rule, Section fifteen forty-one, which prohibits the Department of Defense from using advertising agencies employing media monitors. This move aims to prevent the blacklisting of conservative news organizations by major ad agencies using left-leaning monitoring services. The Independent Media Council welcomes this action, as it addresses censorship concerns, particularly in military recruitment advertising. NewsGuard, a for-profit media rating firm, has been criticized for penalizing right-leaning sources, and the new contracting prohibition extends through December 31, 2030, effectively barring any Pentagon office from using NewsGuard or similar entities for the next five years.
