The #ADL defending #Musk's Nazi salute.
The problem is, anyone can start up a group, charity or PR company and claim to be working for good things, be that anti-racism, #media bias, revealing disinformation, etc.
But as we have seen many times, these organisations are overwhelmingly right wing and support war, colonialism, or actively smear the left.

It's a problem because a lot of the #media accept the claims of these organisations, but then a lot of the media claim to be impartial or adept at reporting the #news when they are really not.
We need to break away from credulously accepting media claims, and only call a group anti-racist once it has proven its worth.
These groups always show who they are, and often have great influence on government policy.
We need to find a way for them to not be accepted automatically as an authority.
