The Big Tech witch hunts escalated earlier this week after The Federalist and Zero Hedge were subject to demonetization at the hands of Google.

Conservative outlet, The National Pulse, was able to gain access to an exclusive leak of the list of think thanks and activists who google lobbyist Max Pappas had been in touch with.

Pappas was hired by Google back in 2017 and was in charge of the Tech company’s damage control messaging in the wake of this incident.

The email Pappas sent out can be viewed below:

The National Pulse noted that the email addresses in the email that Pappas sent out have been redacted.

The people featured in the list are members of establishment conservative organizations which frequently ask Middle American conservatives for donations, while spreading Big Tech talking points, and/or receiving money from Big Tech companies which continues to shutdown conservative speech online.

The Heritage Foundation, the CATO Institute, Americans for Tax Reform, R Street, the Competitive Enterprise Institute were among the organizations named.

A number of these influencers took to Google’s defense, or used Google’s talking points regarding the demonetization story when news surfaced about Google’s behavior.

American Enterprise Institute visiting scholar Mark Jamison tweeted, “Big Tech bias is a good thing, but some of the techniques need work. #bigtech #antitrust #regulation”

Another member of AEI, James Pethokoukis, published an article on the AEI website cheering on Google’s actions and asserting that “the ongoing conservative alarm about anti-conservative [sic] bias by America’s tech titans continues to fail that test [of reality]”.

However, the National Pulse noted that “Big Tech’s bias against conservatives is well documented.”

Julian Sanchez, who contributes at CATO and Reason magazine, stated “only conservative sites whine publicly about it, because other sites aren’t nursing a martyr complex.”

CATO’s Matthew Feeney, the director of the think-tank’s “Emerging Technologies” project, attacked Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Senator Tom Cotton, while also coming to Google’s  defense.

These are just a few of the individuals who are willingly carrying water for Big Tech.

The National Pulse’s comprehensive breakdown of the situation can be found here.

The following people are those who were included in the Google email:
