If it's funded by a non-governmental source, isn't it kind of an independent media outlet by definition?

  I guess you raise a good point ... ... were it not that this outlet was very "dependent" on their "handlers" or des-informers ...

    Sure, but it seems like "poses as independent and is funded by a billionaire" describes a huge number of publications that are not going to get shut down. It feels like there must be some other criterion. In this case most likely that the publications intent goes against US foreign policy interests?
