CBS’ “60 Minutes” failed to disclose that a prominent “misinformation” researcher it featured on its Sunday program received funding and collaborated with President Joe Biden’s administration.
University of Washington professor and researcher
Kate Starbird was featured on the
program about “misinformation” proliferating on social media. Starbird spearheaded a project that Biden’s National Science Foundation (NSF)
granted $2.25 million in 2021, and the researcher collaborated with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by serving on an advisory
committee under its Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which CBS did not mention.
