The charity arm of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., is set to host a left-wing “misinformation” researcher who is under fire for helping to lead a group that suppressed disfavored speech on social media before the 2020 election.

University of Washington professor Kate Starbird, who testified to Congress last year that she personally advised social media companies on content moderation policies, will appear virtually on April 24 for a discussion hosted by the National Press Club Journalism Institute about “successful efforts by organizations to grow news and information literacy and to help the public fact-check the information it interacts with,” Beth Francesco, the group’s executive director, told the Washington Examiner. The nonprofit organization “promotes a free press, the cornerstone of a free society,” it asserted on its tax forms filed last November.
