Georgia news sites face scrutiny over partisan tactics

New partisan-linked news websites have emerged in Georgia, utilizing tactics often referred to as ‘pink slime’ journalism. These sites frequently republish local news stories from established outlets, sometimes including original bylines and links, while interspersing them with partisan content.

The Peach State Post has published unbylined articles attacking Democratic U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff regarding his votes on Republican tax initiatives. This site discloses it is funded by One Nation, which has been identified by some reports as a dark money group.

In contrast, Courier Georgia focuses on topics aligned with Democratic priorities, such as Medicaid expansion. The site also features unbylined videos involving Republican candidate Mike Collins and Senator Ossoff. Both sites are noted for their recent launches and their ties to partisan interests.
