The Department of Homeland Security is 'pausing' its controversial disinformation board just three weeks after it was unveiled following withering attacks from Republicans and conservative TV pundits.

It was intended to combat misinformation but critics quickly homed in on the role of its chief, Nina Jankowicz, and her history fighting disinformation and extremism.

In particular, they questioned her expertise after it emerged she had dismissed the 2020 discovery of Hunter Biden's laptop as being a 'Trump campaign product.'

It's a cause of momentary celebration that the Department of Homeland Security was forced by popular anger to "pause" its Disinformation Board
and the absurd #Resistance cartoon they hired to run it, but read this to see how angry WPost and @TaylorLorenz are that this happened:

Summary of the rules from the WPost and @TaylorLorenz in case you're confused:

-- High-level officials of the Department of Homeland Security: off-limits from investigation and criticism!

-- Anonymous citizens who tweet bad ideologies: Dox, Unmask, Bang on relatives' doors!

They're just going to replace Jankowicz with someone less obviously in need of psychotropic medication.

Will she soon be posting on youtube her song of woe and decry those nasty White Supremacists and their racism for accurately display her hate and hypocrisy?

This thing was going to be the Woke Leftist Propaganda Board and Right Wing Inquisitional Tribunal, and everyone knew it.

That's what happens when you put a woke leftist hacktivist and provocateur as the head of it and give it an Orwellian name.

TRUTH HURTS: White House Scraps Disinformation Board, Czar Abdicates in Disgrace
Taylor Lorenz writes the eulogy

The Department of Homeland Security's controversial plan to create a Disinformation Governance Board helmed by "truth czar" Nina Jankowicz has been "paused," the Washington Post‘s Taylor Lorenz reported on Wednesday.

Lorenz, the self-proclaimed "most online reporter that you can find," buried the lede in a rambling lament about "How the Biden administration let right-wing attacks derail its disinformation efforts." After expending three paragraphs praising Jankowicz, 33, as a so-called expert "in the field of fighting disinformation and extremism" and complaining about the "unrelenting barrage or harassment and abuse" she received from "the right-wing Internet," Lorenz finally reported some news:


Now, just three weeks after its announcement, the Disinformation Governance Board is being "paused," according to multiple employees at DHS, capping a back-and-forth week of decisions that changed during the course of reporting of this story. On Monday, DHS decided to shut down the board, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. By Tuesday morning, Jankowicz had drafted a resignation letter in response to the board's dissolution.

Are we just not going to talk about Nina Jankovich being part of the NATO-funded 'Integrity Initiative?'

“Jankowicz’s experience as a disinformation warrior includes her work w/ StopFake, a US gov-funded “anti-disinformation.” . . StopFake began aggressively whitewashing two Ukrainian neo-Nazi groups w/ a long track record of violence, including war crimes.”
Meet the Head of Biden’s New “Disinformation Governing Board”: Nina Jankowicz is a veteran information warrior. But her “experience” working with StopFake should have set off alarm bells.

Call me cynical, but I’m not sure if the Department of Homeland Security decided to cancel the “Bureau of Disinformation” - or if they just decided to stop publicizing it.

This is not a conspiracy theory but the reality. Here’s a direct quote from the White House Press Secretary:
“We are going to pause it…But the work doesn't stop. We're still going to continue the work. The D.H.S. is still going to continue the work."
