California GOP group linked to Ohio news site promoting Ramaswamy Acton ad

As Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy came under fire for releasing an attack ad featuring his Democratic competitor's estranged mother, a mysterious news site was running a Facebook ad boosting the controversial video. The Buckeye Bulletin, which bills itself as an Ohio-based news platform committed to "reliable journalism" and "strong editorial standards," popped up suddenly this spring and began pumping out a steady stream of pro-Ramaswamy content. The publication's articles have no bylines. There is no list of staff. The website does not feature digital advertisements, nor does it prompt readers to subscribe, but there is also no disclosure of who is funding it. A closer look at the Buckeye Bulletin's Meta advertising data shows that its Facebook and Instagram accounts are managed by the Lincoln Media Foundation, a nonprofit organization affiliated with the Orange County-based Lincoln Club — the oldest and largest conservative donor organization in California.
