ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
https://thenationalpulse.com/news/ccp-linked-lead-stories-censors-national-pulse/
Lead Stories is hardly the “independent” fact-checker it purports to be.
Lead Stories staff, including Editor-In-Chief and co-founder Alan Duke, have extensive histories of working for establishment media outlet CNN. Collectively, employees at the outlet have over 120 years of experience working for the left-wing outlet which has extensive links to the Chinese Communist Party.
Lead Stories also counts up to a quarter of its staff, including its Chairman and co-founder, as recurring Democratic donors candidates such as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Per the Federal Election Commission, not a single donation from a Lead Stories board member or employee was pledged to a Republican candidate. For example, writers have donated to a plethora of overtly anti-Trump Democratic campaigns and activist groups such as Swing Left, a hard-left political group which proclaims:
“2020 is here, and the work defeat Trump and the GOP in November starts NOW.”
And beyond collaborating with Chinese Communist Party proxy TikTok, Lead Stories’ potential for foreign election interference is only augmented by the fact it counts Belgian national Maarten Schenk as its Chief Operating Officer, Chief Techincal Officer, and as responsible for “actually making the editorial decisions.”
The foreign national also controls the company’s sole source of revenue.
The National Pulse has reached out to Facebook for comment about their “independent” fact checker but has, at the time of publication, received no response.
