Ostensible news outlet Semafor has teamed up with an arm of the CCP propaganda machine

Media outlet Semafor was founded in 2022 by BuzzFeed and NYT alumnus Ben Smith, but in its relatively brief existence, it’s already run into some pretty notable trouble. Remember this less-than-stellar moment?

Semafor reporting on Sam Bankman-Fried when Sam Bankman-Fried had made a substantial investment in Semafor was not a good look. Know what else is not a good look for Semafor?

This:

Bold move.

Oh. How nice!

So we should not be expecting critical coverage of the CCP regime from Semafor anytime soon, then.

Yes, read all about the CCP’s United Front:

In recent years, Xi Jinping has been promoting the United Front’s ‘multiparty cooperation and political consultative system’ as a ‘new type of party system’. It also serves as an inspiration for the CCP’s engagement with political parties around the world.22 A 2018 foreign policy editorial by the People’s Daily claimed that Xi Jinping’s ‘systematic elaboration on the super advantages of China’s party system has enlightened the whole world.’23 The chaos of Western societies shows that the CCP ‘is providing the world with … a China solution on how to seek a better political system’, the piece concluded. This point is echoed in training material for united front cadres, which warns that ‘Western hostile forces’ seek to overthrow the CCP and that their influence on overseas ethnic Chinese must be undone.24

The fact that the United Front is a political model and a way for the party to control political representation—the voices of groups targeted by united front work—means its overseas expansion is an exportation of the CCP’s political system. Overseas united front work taken to its conclusion would give the CCP undue influence over political representation and expression in foreign political systems.

There are literal red flags all over the damn place, including at Semafor.

Alibaba, the Chinese tech and e-commerce company? Geez, Semafor. You guys aren’t even trying to be subtle, are you?

And evidently Semafor has decided to enable them. Well, this will definitely call their three-pronged “Semafor Approach” into question …

Semafor’s reporting can only be as transparent as the ChiComs will allow, which is to say, not very transparent at all.

“Distilled Views” as in “views distilled through the CCP apparatus.”

Apparently what that means to Semafor is that citizens of every country need to be exposed to ChiCom propaganda.

Great job, Semafor!

Right? And it’s not as though Semafor’s credibility was super-high before we found out about this.

Major yikes.

Looks like that’s Semafor’s plan for the foreseeable future.
