MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade argued Monday that the United States’ “deep commitment to free speech” makes Americans uniquely susceptible to disinformation campaigns.
McQuade, a University of Michigan law professor, went on “The Rachel Maddow Show” to promote her new book, “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.” She said her “goal” with the book was to spark a “national conversation about truth and our commitment to it.”
She added, “I hope that by dissecting it, explaining it, and educating the public, we can all see disinformation for what it is so that we can begin to push back against it.”
When asked by host Rachel Maddow whether America is just as susceptible to disinformation as other countries, McQuade argued that it is even more vulnerable.

Unless, she doesn't like what you're saying.
So tired of this “common sense” mess. Common sense is not an objective standard and the left needs to be called out on it every time they use it.
Do it the way the left does—sue MSNBC for a trillion dollars for slandering white people.
The irony of this woman appearing on Rachel Maddow’s show to warn the dangers of “disinformation” is so tone-deaf that it must be satire.
It’s always common sense, or for the children.
Insane.
Yep. MSNBC TOTALITARIAN. Comments BUMP!
Common sense: a concept totally foreign to any WokeLeftazi. Also much to uncommon within the general population.
The mainstream media’s goal is to enslave us all to communism/ socialism / marxism / the democrat party .
“If Americans were taught critical thinking skills in school, this would not be a problem.”
Good luck with this.
I told a school teacher “The WEF is coming after your First Amendment rights.”
She replied “What First Amendment?”
I am not joking; this really happened.

We can project movies and images on our garage doors in the early night hours.
Amazing that for over 225 years the first amendment made us the best country in the world. The only people who find words dangerous are the candy a$$ idiots who get put on TV by the communists in media.
“critical thinking skills”
It takes a good information base otherwise the result is garbage.
Witness Google Gemini AI.
Spare me and others from the “common sense” of people who can’t even mentally grasp Amendments I & II.
Sounding more and more like these lefturd a$$clowns need their own damn country.
I’m good with that. Let’s get to it.
To paraphrase Davy Crockett:
They may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas
Yep.
‘Common sense’ anything is a catch phrase of the left.
That is why I advocate ‘Common Sense Socialism Control’.
Arrest her for speaking out in public- no one gave her permission to do so!
