Why Is the Left-Wing Media Silent on Biden's New 'Disinfo Czar'?

The Biden administration has a new Misinformation and Disinformation Governance Board, but you didn't hear that from any left-leaning media outlets.

Nina Jankowicz is a fellow at the Wilson Center, author, and go-to subject matter expert for numerous news outlets when it comes to misinformation coming from her new boss' predecessor, Donald Trump - or from Russia on his behalf.

What the most trusted name in news has not reported on is the Department of Homeland Security's new Misinformation and Disinformation Governance Board or Jankowicz's role as the president's own misinformation expert.

Vox cited Jankowicz in four articles in 2020 and 2021, all to make the same points as CNN. And of course, just like CNN, the outlet makes no mention of the Biden Administration's new Misinformation and Disinformation Governance Board.

A search for the board also turns up no relevant results with The New York Times, Salon, or Slate.

Even CBS didn't report on the board or the new "Disinformation czar" until Friday - after, one might argue, the story had spread across other news outlets to the point that ignoring it might appear suspicious.

New York Post asked on April 28 "Which useful idiot thought such a clearly partisan hack should be Biden's 'disinformation Czar'?" A day later, the same outlet shared the "Cringeworthy Mary Poppins TikTok" in which she sang about how to convincingly spread lies and presented Rudy Giuliani as an example.
