New in PJ Media:
If only Old Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board had been in place to protect the Disinformation Governance Board! The ardently partisan Biden wonk who had been all set to be crowned America’s Disinformation Czarina, Nina Jankowicz, appeared on MSNBC’s “All In” Wednesday to lament that the coronation has now been “paused,” and it’s all the fault of those evil right-wingers who had the temerity to be concerned that a government agency dedicated to combating “disinformation” could all too easily become a tool of authoritarians who wished to quash dissent. Jankowicz is shocked, shocked, that anyone could have thought that at all, and finds it “ironic” that disinformation killed the Disinformation Board. If only it had been up and running to silence and punish the miscreants.
Jankowicz said: “All these sensationalized narratives about what people thought the board was going to do was completely wrong.” Now wait a minute: How could people have ever gotten any “completely wrong” ideas about what the Board’s duties and activities were going to be, when no one connected with it ever fully or clearly explained what the Board was actually going to do? Politico noted on April 29, two days after it announced the existence of the Disinformation Governance Board, that “information on the Biden administration’s war on disinformation proved scarce. When the Associated Press asked DHS for an interview for details, the department stiffed them, according to the AP’s April 28 story.” If Jankowicz and the other Disinformation honchos had really wanted to ensure that “sensationalized narratives” didn’t spread, they could have gotten ahead of them early on by explaining clearly and in detail what the Board was going to do.
In a sense, it’s reassuring: maybe if the Disinformation Governance Board had gotten up and running, it would have been so inefficient and inept that it never would have severely threatened the First Amendment anyway. Maybe. But what did happen was that Biden officials gave vague and differing explanations of what the Board’s duties were going to be. When Politico first revealed the Board’s existence, it said it would be “countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.” Then DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas went further, saying it would “combat this threat not only to election security, but to our homeland security.” Jen Psaki then suggested that it would be dealing with supposed disinformation about “COVID for example, and also elections and eligibility.” Under fire over this brazen assault on the First Amendment, Mayorkas claimed that the Board would not be dealing with the statements of American citizens at all.
There is more. Read the rest here.

This fool and the dhs head fool and the ex press sec fool all gave out ‘disinformation’ and expected people to just accept that she would moderate and edit tweets and he would be looking at what russia was saying about the border problems in the Us and psaki was telling us it was about covid, although mayorkas told Sen Paul that he was not a ‘health’ agency guy, so it wouldn’t be giving health information….such as the saying that cloth masks are not stopping covid …implying that they were not calling that “disinformation” even though he never did answer Sen. Paul’s questions about that aspect of the matter.

Robert Spencer his hit the center of the target. Indeed, Jankowicz is best described as a ‘partisan WONK’.
She has no self-awareness or she would not have accepted this position.
How can someone who has obviously SPREAD DISINFORMATION herself be in charge of EXPOSING disinformation.
Obviously, she is EXTRAORDINARILY partisan and lacking the smallest amount of impartiality or objectivity. Her credibility and that of Mayorkas approaches ZERO.
They are so partisan, both are mere propagandists.
mortimer says
This ill-conceived office should be called the ‘INFORMATION CONTROL BOARD’ since its obvious role was to have been suppressing adverse information about the BRIBED-man’s RACKETEERING FAMILY and the train wreck that the BRIBED-man is producing in the US and the world through his steering everything that was working into the DITCH!
Dems should remember what Barack Obama said: ‘Never understimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.’

Joe Biden is the MISTER MAGOO of presidents and this censorship board was designed with the purpose of SHIELDING HIM FROM CRITICISM.
Jack Van Nostrand says
This board is not dead, it is still there.
It is being assessed by a Mr. Chertoff and will be given an all clear in the near future.

Nina Jankowicz, winner of the Jack Nicholson in “The Shining” look-a-like award.
Westman says
It seems we have observed this principle since the beginning of the Biden administration – liberalism comes loaded with ideas that translate into incompetent realities.
Wellington says
Unfortunately, just a blip, a temporary setback, in the ongoing destruction of America, courtesy of the puppet Joe Biden and his handlers. Count on it.
Like the Terminator, they’ll be back. Count on it.
And thus eternal vigilance to preserve freedom is in order. Count on it.

Fighting disinformation with disinformation. That’s the leftists way. Why do they all look crazy?
James Lincoln says
tgusa,
I personally call it a “leftist look”.
Hard to define – but you know it when you see it.

That the Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board had gone through, as Biden had schemed and was therefore have not been established .
The sad Nina Jankowicz,who would have been the GDB the chief of that GBD on a television interview on MSNBC’s said about the board not coming to be that “ It’s all the fault of those evil right-wingers”
What a poor deluded woman Jankowicz must actually be. Meaning that her thoroughly brainwashed was of thinking had been do terribly contaminated and warped by her “higher education” in the ideology of political correctness that she has become so delusional that she can no longer discern the clear difference between good and evil..
As observed and heard in that interview when she referred to the patriotic Conservatives as “those evil right-winger.”
She is to be pitied, as the Bible reveals in Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” [N.K.J.V.]
For she even wanted to make publish the darkness of that DGB as the “Light of truth”
Janknwicz might really sincere in her politically correct mindset and therefore she could actually have “good intentions” in her PC way of thought.
This makes her situation all the more tragic . For as its been ,truly, said that “The read to hell is paved with good intentions.”
