Rep Banks Demanding Answers From Air Force Ad Agency

Four members of a House Armed Services subcommittee have issued a new letter demanding answers from a major advertising agency contracted by the U.S. Air Force for its shady connections to leftist media ratings firms with a track record of trying to bankrupt right-leaning media.

Reps. Jim Banks (R-IN), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Mike Waltz (R-FL) and Jack Bergman (R-MI) issued the letter on Feb. 9. Citing the failures of the U.S. military to meet its recruiting goals, the letter demands answers from the GSD&M CEO Duff Steward, whose agency received a $741 million contract from the Air Force in an effort to attract new recruits.

The lawmakers sought information to determine whether the ad company distributes Air Force ads in a politically biased manner and conducts business with website traffic cops NewsGuard and the George Soros-tied Global Disinformation Index (GDI).

“As members of the Military Personnel Subcommittee of HSAC, we intend to thoroughly investigate our military recruitment failures, including the policies and strategies of the contractors of the Department of Defense (DoD) entrusted with billions of dollars in advertising,” the lawmakers wrote. “The extent to which the DoD and its contractors have prioritized social justice and political correctness over national security, readiness, and lethality will be a major factor of this investigation.”
