News outlets push pro-union stories while taking undisclosed cash from organized labor

A trio of liberal publications has raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars from teachers unions over the past couple of years, a fact that is not disclosed in their positive coverage of those same unions.

The New Republic, American Prospect, and Courier Newsroom have collectively accepted $905,000 since 2022 from the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, according to the unions’ financial disclosures. After accepting funds from the two largest teachers unions in the nation, each of these outlets went on to publish pieces painting them in a positive light without disclosing the funding arrangement.
