NYT Gets Thrill Up Leg Over Connecticut Creating State-Based Election Disinfo Board
NewsBusters ^ | 6/1/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

The New York Times appeared to be tickled pink over liberal-run states shoehorning President Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board idea into their own election governance processes.

The Times technology and regulation reporter Cecilia Kang celebrated Connecticut for a reported recent state effort to hire an election “misinformation” expert with a $150,000 salary. Kang’s story painted the idea of Connecticut’s so-called state “misinformation” officer like he or she would be a dogged crime-fighter. The story had a fawning headline: “Help Wanted: State Misinformation Sheriff.” Kang whined how the state faced “a bevy of falsehoods about voting that swirled around online.” To avoid a so-called “similar deluge of unfounded rumors and lies around this year’s midterm elections, the state plans to spend nearly $2 million on marketing to share factual information about voting, and to create its first-ever position for an expert in combating misinformation.”

Connecticut’s new “sheriff” of so-called misinformation would be charged with policing social media platforms and pushing censorship whenever the official deems it necessary.

The Obama administration proposed to put “monitors” in the newsrooms. At that time, even the NYT said nyet.

If you read the article you find out there multiple levels of bad here. The stupid legislative branch made a stupid definition of fish in their law, and never bothered to fix it.

Instead of saying it is stupid and demanding the legislature fix it, the stupid judge stupidly decided to infer that somehow, in defiance of logic, evidence, and God himself, inferred noble intent and sage wisdom from that stupidly written law.

California’s executive branch will now stupidly enforce this law and soon it will be illegal to buy bug spray in California or remove killer bee colonies from your home.

In contrast to nutburger New England:

Florida recently established an Office of Election Crimes and Security within the Department of State with a staff of 15 to conduct preliminary investigations of election fraud.

In addition, Governor DeSantis can appoint up to 10 law enforcement officers to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to probe election crimes.

There was a blatant case of election fraud in a Democratic primary for mayor of Bridgeport—in this case the white guy was running the city machine and stole it from a black challenger.

The legal system did nothing—of course.

Some background...

In a City Council race there was an actual indictment for vote fraud:

Now on to the Mayor’s race:

In CT voter fraud is not a conspiracy theory—it is conspiracy fact.

The State telling you what is or isn’t true.

Dystopic.

I figure they will hire the head of the Ct. DNC to censor anything a Republican says about anything,all at the expense of the Ct. taxpayer.
This is an outrage!
Anyone who had anything to do with this cartoon show should be fired immediately,after all you already have the main stream media and New York Times to spread democrat bilge,just look at the condition of the country folks and ask yourself if what President Trump had warned you about was Misinformation or the Truth
