Previously known as Breakthrough, Zinc has contracted for the UK Home Office to covertly implement media projects propagandizing British Muslims under the auspices of the Prevent de-radicalization initiative. In Australia, Zinc was caught running a clandestine program to promote support for government policies among Muslims.

New leaked documents show Reuters’ and the BBC’s involvement in covert UK FCO programs to effect “attitudinal change” and “weaken the Russian state’s influence,” alongside intel contractors and Bellingcat.


The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) have sponsored Reuters and the BBC to conduct a series of covert programs aimed at promoting regime change inside Russia and undermining its government across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, according to a series of leaked documents.


The leaked materials show the Thomson Reuters Foundation and BBC Media Action participating in a covert information warfare campaign aimed at countering Russia. Working through a shadowy department within the UK FCO known as the Counter Disinformation & Media Development (CDMD), the media organizations operated alongside a collection of intelligence contractors in a secret entity known simply as “the Consortium.”


Through training programs of Russian journalists overseen by Reuters, the British Foreign Office sought to produce an “attitudinal change in the participants,” promoting a “positive impact” on their “perception of the UK.”


“These revelations show that when MPs were railing about Russia, British agents were using the BBC and Reuters to deploy precisely the same tactics that politicians and media commentators were accusing Russia of using,” Chris Williamson, a former UK Labour MP who attempted to apply public scrutiny to the CDMD’s covert activities and was stonewalled on national security grounds, told The Grayzone.


“The BBC and Reuters portray themselves as an unimpeachable, impartial, and authoritative source of world news,” Williamson continued, “but both are now hugely compromised by these disclosures. Double standards like this just bring establishment politicians and corporate media hacks into further disrepute.”


Thomson Reuters Foundation spokesperson Jenny Vereker implicitly confirmed the authenticity of the leaked documents in an emailed response to questions from The Grayzone. However, she contended, “The inference that the Thomson Reuters Foundation was engaged in ‘secret activities’ is inaccurate and misrepresents our work in the public interest. We have for decades openly supported a free press and have worked to help journalists globally to develop the skills needed to report with independence.”

Western media is pure evil. The sooner we ban Western media groups in developing nations the better. These Western media groups collude with their governments to spin a narrative and shape opinion. They even help their governments to initiate wars. From the war in Iraq to other wars around the world. Western media has always played a primary role in whipping hysteria an promoting bloodshed.

The BBC is the veritable arm of British government. If I were a leader of any developing nation I would ban BBC with immediate effect.

BBC = British Bull$hit Corporation

How and why you think Asma Sherazi AKA "Sarkari Hajjan" and Sohail Warraich AKA "Aikdin jin ke sath" fame are recruited by BBC Urdu!!!

For their outstanding contribution to journalism!!!

I have also written that about Klasara, he was given all expenses paid "education" in the UK.
Ever since, he praises everything Indian and spread the seeds of doubts in Pakistan.
I mentioned that to him years back, since then he had me blocked on twitter.
I consider it a success.

These people you mention would sell their mothers for peanuts. Selling their nation is just a small feat.

They're have been people who have always claimed this but until recently, they were all brushed aside as conspiracy theorists...

Now this is Russia. Imagine the damage these Western media groups and their funded journos have inflicted in Pakistan. They are bundling their powers and efforts to initiate regime change all over the world. Now with the US deep state back in power expect such BS to continue on steroids.

It is high time that Russia, China and other like-minded regional countries got organised to counter such BS. At least on their own soil. A total ban on Western MSM. A total ban on Western INGOs. A total ban on Western paid journos and so-called activists.

Wouldn’t say it’s ‘evil’ as much as what I’ve always argued - Western media will always push their respective Establishment line when it comes to foreign policy, whether it’s the New York Times, NPR, VOA, BBC etc.

Most of their high profile foreign affairs reporters and analysts depends on ‘sources’ within their respective establishment, so of course you’re not going to get truly objective or independent reporting even if it isn’t a government funded campaign or program.

Hence the relatively muted coverage of the atrocities, occupation & crackdown on freedom of speech by the Indian State, and ridiculously extensive negative coverage of countries like Russia, China & Pakistan. One should note that negative coverage of Pakistan in the Western media has slowed down since the US decided it needed Pakistan to enable a peace deal in Afghanistan.

100% agreed. It is always noticeable when Western propaganda against certain nations is notched up or dialed down. Right now US/NATO are contemplating what to do next. They cannot piss off Pakistan entirely because that would truly wreck any goodwill left. Hence the Western MSM told to take a softer approach.

It is imperative for China and Russia to lead on this front. Regional nations must cooperate under Chinese and Russian umbrella to counter Western propaganda. Just like Western nations cooperate and bundle their efforts to support the narrative of their respective governments a similar approach is needed in our region. There must be an ironclad agreement between regional nations to counter Western propaganda.

That is true for media sources all over the world - welcome to reality. Let us ban the entire world then...

"Pure Evil"

Every major country is involved is some sort of disinformation campaign. To single out western media is ridiculous, when your own nation probably does similar things.

Its not evil, because geopolitics is amoral. This is par for the course.

Western media and their governments project themselves as the 'arbiters of fairness, objectivity, freedom' etc. and they have enormous reach and influence to shape narratives & events, typically both in the country being targeted and the broader world.

The disinformation that comes out of the Western media is therefore far more dangerous than, for example, something that comes out of Pakistan.
