The UnHerd Fight Against Shadowy Disinformation Agencies - Ft. Freddie Sayers (Part 1)
I spoke with Freddie Sayers, Editor-in-Chief of UnHerd to outline the challenges he's faced trying to finance his publication in light of shadowy forces targeting "disinformation". Despite high ratings from some agencies, UnHerd was blacklisted by the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) for hosting content deemed anti-LGBTQI+, notably opinions from gender critical feminists. Sayers highlights the disinformation industry's growing influence, part of a broader, post-2016 political shift aimed at controlling narratives. He details government funding of these agencies and their mission creep from preventing false information to targeting "polarisation" and "adversarial narratives".
