Microsoft has reportedly joined forces with Ben Smith’s media startup Semafor, leveraging AI for the ominous goal of “creating healthy information ecosystems.”
Former President Donald Trump has claimed he did not show classified material in leaked audio recently obtained by CNN.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) is mulling a run for mayor of Houston, Texas, according to reports.
BuzzFeed founder Ben Smith’s announcement last week that his Semafor “global news platform” would be partners with a Chinese Communist Party think tank is just the latest example of Beijing’s relentless attempts to gain influence over U.S. media. China has invested a great deal of money and effort in shaping American news content, although most of its past efforts were a bit more subtle than Semafor’s openly-declared symbiosis.
Semafor, co-founded by BuzzFeed founder Ben Smith, joined a CCP-run think tank to promote “cooperation” between the U.S. and China.
