#2  ... What could go wrong? ... the state dept ... why does state have any 'MILITARY' money to distribute? Shouldn't we be talking about drastic reduction in state?

#1  Part of these funds will be distributed between various civil rights groups, creators of media content, non-governmental organizations, as well as state-funded and private research entities. The grants would be awarded to those presenting the best ways to combat propaganda and disinformation. An Information Access Fund, to be set up for this purpose, will "support public and private partners working to expose and counter propaganda and disinformation from foreign nations."

What could go wrong?
