Due to ’Right Wing’ 🙄🙄 pressure, the DHS Dis-MisInformation Board has been suspended. The ’official’ board may have been suspended; however, unofficially this unadministration will continue pushing their narrative.
Miss Info: We Hardly Knew Ye
Shove It Up Your Memory Hole
NY Post: “Biden puts disinfo ‘MaryPoppins’ on ice, scraps Orwellian DHS board”
Greenwald: “The Homeland Security Disinformation Board died at the exactly the same tragically young age as CNN+: 22 days. Apr. 27-May 18, 2022: #RIP”
“It’s a bad two months for agents of disinformation masquerading as anti-disinformation crusaders.”
Unsilenced Majority: “Disbanding the ‘disinformation’ board is the right move but it remains deeply concerning that so many senior Biden admin officials thought this was a good idea to begin with and so actively defended it before being cowed into the right decision.”
Jim Geraghty headline: “Since When Does the Biden Team Quit in the Face of Conservative Criticism?”
How We Got Here
Barton Swaim in WSJ: “How Disagreement Became ‘Disinformation’; America’s enlightened influencers mistake their interpretations of the facts for the facts themselves, giving themselves an excuse for censorship.”
Greenwald: “If a political party convinces itself its opponents are actual Nazis led by Hitler, it’s not just expected but inevitable it will embrace extremist authoritarian weapons:
— mass internet censorship
— a new domestic War on Terror
— Homeland Security ‘Disinformation Board’ etc.”
Drew Holden: “‘Disinformation’ is and will be how the Democrats, with the help of the media, bury critical reporting.”
Greenwald: “Ever since Dems became the majority party in DC — controlling the WH, Exec branch agencies and both houses of Congress — they’re repeatedly abused that power to summon tech CEOs and threaten them with punishment if they don’t censor more as Dems want”
Jesse Kelly: “Every warning about ‘Democracy in danger’ is the Democratic Party putting into place the mechanisms necessary to label their political opponents as national security threats which gives them permission to use the force of government against you.”
