Bari Weiss smears for Netanyahu

• Bari Weiss pushed controversial headline about Abdul El-Sayed: report
• Unnamed sources later told “Status” writer Oliver Darcy that Weiss had “personally directed that the headline be tweaked to specifically mention that El-Sayed had deleted tweets referencing the September 11 terrorist attack.” - MSN
• The report in “Status” is just the latest accusation that Weiss, who was installed as editor-in-chief last year, has interfered in her staff’s reporting to push for a more conservative political agenda.

Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post

• Netanyahu referred to a 'community' pushing out preferred messaging in US media — and boy are they making a princely sum.
• Being paid by Israel to post on social media is also very lucrative. According to previously unreported recent documents, these influencers are likely being paid around $7,000 per post on social media such as Tik Tok and Instagram on behalf of Israel.
• Bridges Partners, a firm working for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sent a series of invoices for its “Influencer Campaign” to Havas Media Group Germany, an international media group working for Israel. The invoices detailed a sum of $900,000, starting in June and slated to end in November, for a cohort of 14-18 influencers to create content.
• The document, which was filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, notes that the funding is for both “payments for influencers and production,” but does not provide a breakdown between the two.
• When taking into account the administrative production costs through Sept. 16 — legal fees, banking fees, marketing fees, and other project services noted in a separate document — that leaves an estimated sum of $552,946 for the influencers between June and September of this year.
• The firm estimated that the cohort was expected to produce 75-90 posts in that time. Doing the math, that would be $6,143 per post on the low end. On the high end, each influencer could be making as much as $7,372 per post. - Responsible Statecraft
