Somebody do a wellness check on the embattled media ratings firms NewsGuard and Ad Fontes. On Friday, the House of Representatives passed 217 to 199 the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), featuring a provision that blocks the Biden administration from exploiting taxpayer dollars for contracts with media rating entities like NewsGuard and Ad Fontes. This provision is a significant win for free speech advocates and marks the second year in a row that the House, led by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), has put the Department of Defense (DoD) on alert after it controversially awarded $750,000 to NewsGuard for access to its ratings data. The new provision prohibits the DoD from partnering with entities that do not “rate or rank news or information sources for the factual accuracy of their content” or “provide ratings or opinions on news or information sources regarding misinformation, bias, adherence to journalistic standards, or ethics.” In a statement to MRC, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) lauded the House for passing the 2025 NDAA. “This year’s NDAA will refocus our military on its core mission of defending America and its interests across the globe,” he said.  In 2023, Speaker Johnson and Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) led efforts to include similar language in the FY24 NDAA to prevent the DoD from contracting with these controversial media ratings firms. MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider hailed McCormick and Johnson’s leadership. “Speaker Johnson and Congressman McCormick have been fierce fighters for free speech,” he said. “They have done so much behind the scenes and, frankly, do not get enough credit for what they have done to save the most important right we have to keep our constitutional democracy alive." The provision specifically targeted Ad Fontes and NewsGuard, both of which have been criticized by MRC Free Speech America for giving disproportionately negative ratings to right-leaning outlets and media critical of the Biden administration. Last year, MRC revealed for the third consecutive year that NewsGuard’s ratings overwhelmingly favored left-leaning media outlets, awarding them an average rating of 91 out of 100. In contrast, right-leaning media outlets received an average rating of only 65 out of 100. Similarly, Ad Fontes has demonstrated enormous bias. An MRC study showed that Ad Fontes rated 64 percent of left-leaning media as reliable, compared to only 32 percent of right-leaning media. The FY25 NDAA still needs approval from the Senate and President Joe Biden to become law. In 2023, the embattled president signed the FY24 NDAA, despite expressing partisan concerns over certain provisions, including the one related to NewsGuard. Conservatives are under attack.

A male pro-Palestinian protester was caught on video earlier this week aboard a crowded New York City subway train — and hollering an order to Zionists to identify themselves: "Raise your hand if you're a Zionist! This is your chance to get out!"WABC-TV reported that police are looking for male who shouted those words as part of a call-and-response chant Monday at the 14th Street-Union Square subway station. You can view video of the chant here.'Threatening New Yorkers based on their beliefs is not only vile, it's illegal and will not be tolerated.'The male who led the chant then stated, "OK, no Zionists, we're good." WABC said the subway train was stationary with its car doors open at the time of the chant.A witness came forward, WABC said, adding that the NYPD is asking other riders who were aboard that subway car and felt threatened to come forward as well. The station said police sources told ABC News that detectives are looking to file charges of attempted coercion.WABC said the "apparent protesters" had been rallying above ground at Union Square just minutes before the video of the chant on the subway train was recorded."Mayor [Eric] Adams has been clear: New York City will always protect the right to free speech, but we will never allow our city to descend into lawlessness," a city hall spokesperson told WABC. "Threatening New Yorkers based on their beliefs is not only vile, it's illegal and will not be tolerated. Anyone with information about those responsible for this illegal conduct should contact the NYPD immediately."What's more, city officials are looking into how to again make it illegal to wear masks at protests, the station said, adding that NYC's anti-mask laws date back nearly 200 years and were used in the days of Ku Klux Klan protests. The anti-mask laws were repealed in 2020 during pandemic-era rallies against police brutality following George Floyd's death, WABC said.Like Blaze News?
