Biden Administration Has Spent $267 Million on Grants to Combat ‘Misinformation’
The Biden administration has spent $267 million in taxpayer funds on research grants dedicated to combating so-called “misinformation” and investigating how it is spread, according to a new report from government spending watchdog Open the Books.
By contrast, the Trump administration spent just $6.7 million on grants around misinformation. Twelve of 16 of the grants awarded under the Trump administration funded technological developments to monitor social media and flag misinformation.
Spending on misinformation jumped from $2.2 million to $126 million from 2020 to 2021 alone as the Biden administration spend significant funding to address Covid-19 related misinformation.
