In the Trump era, news and poll aggregation website RealClearPolitics took a rightward, aggressively pro-Trump turn, according to
The New York Times.
As it did so, its funding from ideological, right-wing foundations increased considerably.
The result? Real Clear became one of the most prominent platforms for elevating unverified and reckless stories about the president s political opponents, through a mix of its own content and articles from across conservative media, per
The Times.
During that time, RealClearPolitics owner, RealClear Media, secretly operated a far-right website and a connected Facebook page that churned out racist and pro-Trump memes.
The publication s nonprofit, the Real Clear Foundation, funds its investigative stories, some of which have been so unsubstantiated or so ethically concerning that other outlets, including conservative ones, and social media giant Facebook steered clear.

After Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) announced that she was cutting ties with husband Tim Mynett s political consulting firm, Mynett turned his attention to a new mission: advising wine and beverage companies.
Mynett and his business partner, Will Hailer, quietly registered a second venture in October 2019. But it wasn t until Omar said she would terminate her contract with their political consulting firm that they really turned their attention to the new business. Omar s campaign paid Mynett s firm, E Street Group, $2.9 million during the 2020 election cycle nearly 80 percent of what the firm took in from federal committees.
