The State Department is steering over $37,000 to a Bolivian nonprofit group to launch a "campaign against disinformation" training program for journalists in the South American country, funding documents show.

Thwarting alleged "disinformation" has remained a top priority of the Biden administration, which has come under fire from Republicans for bankrolling left-leaning entities taking aim at conservative websites over their advertising revenue. President Joe Biden's State Department is now in the process of granting taxpayer dollars until April 2024 to Fundacion para el Periodismo, which translates to Foundation for Journalism, so the Bolivian entity can create a "network of 150 journalists and mass communicators specialized in combating disinformation," according to grant records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

Excellent report by @gekaminsky on another State Dept-funded "fact-checking" censorship squad member, targeting "anti-vaccine activists" in Bolivia. US tax dollars being spent on censoring people in Bolivia.
