Mainstream Media Outlets Paid Millions to Publish Chinese Propaganda
An English-language newspaper run by the Chinese Communist Party has in recent months funneled millions of dollars in printing and advertising expenses to several U.S. media companies, according to a news report.
The report in the Daily Caller is based on a recent Foreign Agents Registration Act filing.
The filing to the Justice Department appears to show China Daily paid the media companies close to $2 million dollars from May to October.
The Wall Street Journal received just over $85,000, while the Los Angeles Times took $340,000. Foreign Policy magazine also secured a $100,000 deal. Other media companies to receive money included The Boston Globe, Houston Chronicle, and U.K.-based Financial Times, the Daily Caller reports.
According to a June FARA disclosure, China Daily has paid The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post a combined $10 million in advertising costs in the past four years.(Read more from “Mainstream Media Outlets Paid Millions to Publish Chinese Propaganda” HERE)
