It may look and feel like a standard conservative news source — with the headlines, name and features to match — but The Free Telegraph is anything but. It’s actually a publication funded by the Republican Governors Association.

Since its July debut, The Free Telegraph has featured stories highlighting the successes of Republicans and failures of Democrats. But it did not disclose its connection to the association, which works to get Republican governors elected across the country, until The Associated Press asked about it last week, the news organization reported on Tuesday.

The disclosure now appears in small print at the bottom of the website. No such message is included on its Instagram, Facebook or Twitter feeds.

Rick Tyler, a former top aide to Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, told The Associated Press that the site amounted to “propaganda.”
