   @mediapart and it seems that some US gov agency has a veto over key personal in OCCRP. details here: https://www.mediapart.fr/en/journal/international/021224/hidden-links-between-giant-investigative-journalism-and-us-government

   and a shocker at the end: https://www.mediapart.fr/en/journal/international/021224/german-broadcaster-ndr-censored-own-investigation-world-s-largest-consortium-investigative-media german broadcaster #NDR which initiated this report, cancels coop with occrp and at the same time censors their own production.

     @mediapart i love the fact, that all these key people were suddenly chatting openly about all this just because occrp was nominated for the nobel peace price, and they thought they can be proud on camera :)

     @nblr yes, see also my first response to this: https://chaos.social/@stf/113588910157678613

     we knew they are a biased soft-power cutout for the us spies, doing selective disclosure.

     what is new, is the statement that 1/ they don't investigate countries they get money from and 2/ they get earmarked money for countries of interest. 3/ and they have veto power over key personal.

     but i also think, most people have never heard of bellingcat, and most people who might have consumed occrp content, dunno about occrp 8thr

     @stf I’m baffled that this is news. I mean, the same goes for b’cat. It’s still somewhat decent journalism. The idea of neutral and perfectly objective journalism is a fiction.
