Earlier this week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress that his agency is creating a "Disinformation Governance Board" to combat "Misinformation" coming from Russia as we near this year's midterm elections.
The Biden administration's new Committee on Public Information will be led by Nina Jankowicz, "a disinformation fellow" who, perfectly enough, comes to the administration from a think tank named after Woodrow Wilson.
It gets tedious to point this out, but you can vividly imagine the thermonuclear meltdown the country would be subjected to if a Republican president assembled a government panel tasked with weeding out "Disinformation." To our technocrats' dismay, this isn't Europe, where the state can dictate allowable speech and sometimes arrests those who don't abide.
The one-time neoliberal champion of free speech-a freedom he employed aggressively to mislead the American people when it served his partisan interests-alleged during a recent Stanford University speech that "People are dying" from misinformation.
These arbiters of truth not only happen to be some of the same people who ran around repeating ludicrous conspiracies about foreign interference for five years; they're also the same people who used the menace of "Russian disinformation" to lie and suppress news that undermined their electoral prospects, as they did with the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Setting aside such a cynical use of "Disinformation," are we really supposed to believe that an administration that tells us with a straight face that a $3.5 trillion spending bill "Costs zero dollars" or that showing an ID is tantamount to Jim Crow 2.0 or that your sex relies entirely on your perception is going to sort out the accuracy of rhetoric? Jankowicz was hired by a man who for the past 50 years has been one of our most entertaining fabulists.
From treating the Steele dossier as fact to repeatedly using her position as disinformation "Expert" to dismiss the Hunter Biden story as a "Kremlin" concoction, she is no better, it seems, than the average leftist partisan on CNN. Of course, getting to the truth is not the point of all this.
