Update: Democrats are retreating now, as leading flacks and Party press tell us they don't know what this Disinformation Governance Board does and is supposed to do. Democrats are a laughing stock, and apparently noone in the administration was bothered with the mission and name of a domestic Disinformation Governance Board.
The United States Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) is launching a "new Disinformation Governance Board to coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security," reports Politico.
One Nina Jankowicz will head up the "Board."
Misinformation such as U.S. government lies used to target the U.S. population to goad our fellows into supporting the illegal invasion of Iraq?
Is Jankowicz actually going to call out the U.S. intelligence community for lies and misrepresentations?
No, no, not that kind of misinformation.
Disinformation from Russia. And, notes Jankowicz, working to "maintain the Dept's commitment to protecting free speech, privacy, civil rights, & civil liberties."
The DHS is committed to free speech, privacy, civil rights and civil liberties. Who knew?
Will Jankowicz' portfolio include efforts to counter disinformation from corporate interests, Israel, and Saudi Arabia?
She hasn't said.
Jankowicz also promotes herself as a "disinformation expert," focusing on disinformative comments from men, and is always on the lookout for men who "burst violently into your [social media] mentions and your life like the Kool-aid man, demanding your attention, hawking opinions that they believe are unarguably, manifestly correct and indispensable."
So, no facts or information from men criticizing Jankowicz, lest they harbor disinformation or conduct themselves in the manner of the Kool-aid character.
Apparently, Nina Jankowicz has a great start on her adventure at Homeland Security: Use ad hominem to evaluate argument and attack disinformation.
Here I was, worried about being a helpless victim of Russian propaganda.
Now, I feel safe, safe enough to know and understand the silence from congressional Democrats: We have always been at war with disinformation from Eastasia.
