New in PJ Media:
Is this some of that disinformation the Biden administration is talking about? Jen Psaki on Friday twice claimed that the Biden administration’s Orwellian and ominous new Disinformation Governance Board isn’t really new at all, and in fact, was started not by Old Joe or his DHS hatchet man, Alejandro Mayorkas, but by one Donald J. Trump. Psaki delivered this whopper with a clear tone of What are all you racist, redneck, MAGA-hat wearing yahoos getting all upset about? This was all your guy’s idea. She offered no evidence, and there doesn’t seem to be any for her to have offered.
Psaki said this under question from Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich, who noted that both Mayorkas and Psaki had expressed some unfamiliarity with the bizarre fascist who will be heading up the Ministry of Truth, Nina Jankowicz. Heinrich asked Psaki, “How was she hired if you and the White House are not familiar with her and Mayorkas is not familiar with her statements? What’s the process for, um, putting her into a position like this, and who’s in charge of hiring her?” Indeed — although it’s clear that Jankowicz, who bills herself on her website as “an internationally-recognized expert on disinformation,” is an enthusiastic proponent of government censorship who has been preparing for this job for her entire professional life.
She then launched into a potted history of Jankowicz’s career:
Well, let me give you a sense of who she is. She’s an expert on online disinformation. She was formerly in the Wilson Center as disinforma– she was formerly a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center. She’s testified before Congress, as well as the United Kingdom and European Parliament, advised a Ukrainian foreign minister, particularly relevant in this moment, under the auspices of a Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship and overseeing Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute. Any hiring decisions are up to the Department of Homeland Security, but this is a person with extensive qualifications. What I will tell you about the, um, Board and what the Board is doing, this is a continuation of work that began at the Department of Homeland Security in 2020 under former President Trump.
Heinrich followed up with a question about Jankowicz’s video in which she tells people not to vote for those who supposedly spread “disinformation,” and Psaki responded by claiming again that the Board was “again, a continuation of the work of the former president, so for anyone who’s critical of it, I don’t – I didn’t hear them being critical of the work under the former president, which is just interesting to note contextually.” She went on to explain that the Board would fight “misinformation spread by human smugglers,” which she said was work begun in the Trump administration, and added semi-coherently: “This is also work, um, that is helping to, uh, address unauthorized terrorism, other threats, and see how disinformation and misinformation is being pushed to lead, uh, to increase those.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Part of the above title of this article reads “Now Psaki is claiming that Trump Started Biden’s Thought Police Board.
That’s no only a lame excuse and a cheap lying shot at shifting the blame away from Biden’s insidious Red/Green propaganda institution just established ., the D.G.B.
That just one the many false statement spoken by Jen Psaki. She hasn’t earned herself the nickname of “Little Miss Lying Hood” for her list of saying true things For her having a history of specking false claims , likewise speaking out false information . So much so she has made herself out to be a chronic ‘liar
Just speaking for myself , I sort of like Jen Psaki as a person but she’s also a person who needs to obtain help for terrible problem of her addition to pathological lying.

Good catch, livingengine.

That’s words and phrases that psaki and her boss, “bo” don’t want to be uttered. The words and phrases such as “stolen election; election fraud; Trump won; fauci lied; gas prices were caused by biden; ” etc. are expressions of the “domestic terrorists” and are therefore, “unauthorized terrorism, “

What is factual is that Obama when President had AP reporters monitored (and AP definitely leans Left as everyone should know). Trump had no reporters monitored even though he was the subject of a highly hostile press as compared to Obama who enjoyed gushing encomiums from the sycophantic MSM.

Here’s Your Disinformation: Now Psaki Is Claiming That TRUMP Started Biden’s Thought Police Board
……………
Truly bizarre claim. Firstly and most importantly, there is no apparent basis for this claim. Then, the Biden White House has made a point of reversing President Trump’s policies–for instance, on the Iran nuke plan, border security, and funding the “Palestinian” “Pay for Slay” program–so why would they be held to go forward with this supposed plan of Trump’s? Of course, they would not.
somehistory says
News flash: psaki and her boss, “bo,” have been blaming Mr. Trump for everything that has gone wrong since the Alzheimer’s patient entered the WH and began to babble.
Now, that people are asking about something that is clearly illegal according to the Constitution, which “bo”, biden, and all the other *authorities* swore to uphold…which word means “obey”. ..it’s time once more to say Mr. Trump started it, so that should make it okay with everyone who is complaining about it.
