The Biden administration has approved $5.7 million in grant funding to George Washington University to create a program that will provide psychological care to journalists who believe they are the targets of “misinformation-driven harassment campaigns.”
The program, called Expert Voices Together, is described in the government grant database as “a socio-technical system that provides real-time support to experts experiencing online harassment.” The project’s goal is to provide journalists, and eventually other “experts,” with means of “monitoring and reporting” alleged abuse, as well as “personalized assistance with digital safety” and access to “mental health care specialists” as a form of “trauma-informed care.”
The National Science Foundation (NSF) first allocated $749,222 in funding to George Washington University in 2021, and approved the project for continuation in 2022, approving an additional $5 million in taxpayer funds. Work associated with the grant is ongoing, with funding projected to end in August 2024.
The report explains that the NSF claims journalists should receive mental health counseling due to the “rapid spread of misinformation” because “harassment undermines confidence in pivotal sources of knowledge and reduces expert participation in the information ecosystem.”
The Daily Caller notes that liberal Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz once burst into tears during an MSNBC interview in early 2022, claiming the online bullying she experienced was “horrifying.”
However, Lorenz then turned around and doxxed conservative Twitter user, Libs of TikTok, prompting a still-ongoing battle between the two.
Libs of TikTok, whose real name is now publicly known as Chaya Raichik, seized on the report.
“You can’t make this up… Biden Administration Shells Out Over $5 Million To Give Journalists ‘Trauma-Informed’ Support If They’re Getting Trolled. Tay Tay will probably be first in line ,” Raichik joked.
