The New York Times published an essay on Tuesday detailing a range of recommendations for the Biden administration to adopt to fix the “reality crisis” and “de-radicalize” citizens, including setting up a “reality czar” and “truth commission.”
The essay, penned by Times technology columnist Kevin Roose, accuses “millions of Americans” of embracing “hoaxes, lies and collective delusions” before questioning how to unite a country where these millions “have chosen to create their own version of reality.”
“I worry that unless the Biden administration treats conspiracy theories and disinformation as the urgent threats they are, our parallel universes will only drift further apart, and the potential for violent unrest and civic dysfunction will only grow,” Roose writes.
The author then states he contacted several “experts” seeking what actions the Biden administration could take “to help fix our truth-challenged information ecosystem, or at least prevent it from getting worse” and then provides the answers he was given.
Joan Donovan, a research director of Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, suggested that the Biden administration set up a “truth commission” led by those familiar with extremist factions including white supremacist groups and far-right militias behind the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot, in order to investigate the event.
Donovan describes such an effort as “similar to the 9/11 Commission,” which provided recommendations designed to guard against future attacks.
The author then claims that experts suggested using “new and narrower labels” to distinguish between different types of movements and levels of influence within those movements.
Another recommendation Roose claims to have received from these experts is for the Biden administration to create a task force to “tackle disinformation and domestic extremism” and be led by “something like a ‘reality czar.’”

Constitution-believing, rule-of-law believing citizens need to be “deradicalized” and buy into the Woke agenda.
If they want to create millions more such “radicals,” there’s no better way to do it than establish this Orwellian “Reality” commission.
NYC is its own Reality Distortion Field.
The Slimes building gives that field a warped amplification.
Recently I found out my uncle voted Biden for President. I was so angry that I wanted to disinherit everything he left me and give back anything I got from him. It was only after vowing to never speak to him again I remembered he died 12 years ago.
How very....North Korean...of them.
Secession of the free states is the only recourse.
It’s time !
“Truth Commission”, aka Ministry of Truth.

The Rats intentionally created the “reality crisis”. I would never look to them to fix the problem. That would require at least one of them to have an honest bone in their body. That will NEVER happen!!!!!!
That’s what the “barn burners,” led by Col. Lloyd Garrison preached; the free states must secede because the Constitution was a pact with the devil. His protege, Frederick Douglas, had a better idea, which prevailed.
Let them secede, if they want to.
Why do we need another Reality Czar? Jeff Bezos,the man who brought us $12 a pound chicken breast (at Whole Foods), owns the Washington Post. That’s Reality Central!
Whose reality?
