Disinformation Governance Board
Some of you may recall the “Disinformation Governance Board” (DGB) that was proposed by the administration a while back. It flared briefly in the heavens before suffering a rapid demise. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), had suggested that Nina Jankowicz lead this organization. Of course, as everyone knows by now, she herself is a serial spreader of misinformation.
Officially the creation of this new federal agency has been “paused.” The board had been the subject of weeks of backlash from Republicans, libertarians and even some liberals, who likened the scheme to the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell’s classic novel “1984.”
Exactly what “paused” means is unclear. Knowing Washington and the corrupt bureaucrats who live there, it probably means that they will wait until they can sneak it back into existence during the dead of night. There is growing resistance to any such attempt.
