Congress has initiated an investigation into NewsGuard, a news-rating organization, over concerns of potential taxpayer-funded censorship and bias. Representative Comer has cited 'appearances of bias' as a significant factor in the decision to launch the probe. The House GOP is leading the investigation, which aims to scrutinize the impact of NewsGuard's operations on free speech, with some critics suggesting that the organization could function as a form of de facto state media. NewsGuard is also noted to be federally funded.
