THE WASHINGTON FREE BEACON exposes more sleazy behavior regarding Indiana University’s federally funded speech-monitoring project.

Internal emails reveal the university’s initial reaction to the Free Beacon’s report on the project in August, which detailed Truthy’s goals to identify “false and misleading ideas” on Twitter and “detect hate speech and subversive propaganda.” The article also revealed head researcher Fil Menczer’s support for numerous progressive groups, including President Barack Obama’s Organizing for Action, Greenpeace, and MoveOn.org.

This whole thing is a disgrace. Much, much more at the link.
