The 'Risky' Business of Showing All Sides

Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a British NGO that advises advertisers and search engine companies — and that has been supported by the U.S. State Department — labeled RealClearPolitics as a high-risk news site for disinformation, one of the top-10 riskiest in America. All because we include voices they don’t like. That we pair such voices with those they agree with doesn’t seem to matter to them. Designated high-risk, RCP was put on GDI’s advertising blacklist. Ad revenue has cratered by millions in recent years. If you’re reading this, you are among the most discerning consumers of news in America. You appreciate the chance to see all sides represented, every day—including those you disagree with. Your support at year-end can help power RealClear’s editorial independence and preserve a place for viewpoint diversity in the news.
