Nina Jankowicz: Proud purveyor of feminist disinformation

Jankowicz wears many leftist hats, and is wrong in all of them.

Within the space of a week, Nina Jankowicz has gone from being an unknown to a media wunderkind, featured in countless media accounts. But it’s fair to say the coverage has been less than fawning.

Referring to her Disinformation Governance Board, to which she had been appointed to head, Jankowicz claimed in a tweet that “one of the key reasons the Board was established, is to maintain the Dept's committment [sic] to protecting free speech, privacy, civil rights, & civil liberties.” (And why the Orwellian name, Disinformation Governance Board? Maybe because its acronym, DGB, rhymes with the Soviet-era “KGB.”)

But like any card-carrying Leftist, her professed allegiance to free speech comes with an asterisk.

In a January 2021 WIRED article, Jankowicz railed over the “insidious” online abuse experienced by women, claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris and congress members Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar had experienced a “sexualized disinformation campaign.”

Taking a swipe at the motivations of men, Jankowicz argued, “It is time to reverse this trend by employing creativity and technological prowess to make a pariah of online misogyny.” She concluded her diatribe by reiterating the discredited #BelieveWomen refrain: “Like the rest of society in the post #MeToo era, social media platforms must decisively make the shift toward believing women,” by allowing them to censor online content.

How much are we paying this twit?

“Like the rest of society in the post #MeToo era, social media platforms must decisively make the shift toward believing women,” ....

Nina, Nina. (shaking my old gray head) ... Did you believe Tara Reade, when she said she was sexually assaulted by Joe Biden when she was working for his Senate staff? And did you believe the many, many accusers of Bill Clinton? Of course not. Your belief in your fellow women, just like your outrage, is very selective.
