Kelsey Bolar: Poynter Is Really Supporting ‘Choking Out Conservative News Sites’ from the Public

‘That is not something anyone who supports journalism should ever be behind’

EXCERPT:

BOLAR: "Yeah, well very conveniently, most conservative news sites were grouped in and labeled by Poynter as unreliable or fake news which is a pretty serious smear coming from what is supposed to be a nonprofit journalism institute and conveniently, many of the far left news sites were left out of that. ThinkProgress, for example, which is run out of the Center for American Progress, and The Intercept. So very clearly, conservative news sites were targeted and most alarmingly, they were targeted to be blacklisted by advertisers. So what this journalism institute is really supporting here is choking out conservative news sites from the public through boycotts and bans via advertisers. That is not something anyone who supports journalism should ever be behind."
