Biden’s Disinformation Board Slammed from Both Sides
Liberty Nation News ^ | May 02, 2022 - 7:29 am | Mark Angelides

President Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board is off to a shaky start as prominent figures on both sides of the political aisle declare it to be little more than an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth.” The controversial new board under the Department of Homeland Security – ostensibly designed to tackle misinformation – has politicos and the public concerned that it will be little more than a propaganda arm for the administration that seeks to silence critics and opposing views.

Despite assurances from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that the board will not be targeting American citizens, opponents view its formation as a clear attack on the First Amendment. Defending its creation, the DHS head argued on Fox News Sunday, “This is a working group that takes best practices to make sure that in addressing disinformation that presents a threat to the homeland, does our work, does not infringe on free speech. Does not infringe on civil rights, civil liberties … It’s not about speech. It’s about the connectivity to violence.”

“That is what we need to address,” he continued. “An individual has the free speech right to spew anti-Semitic rhetoric, what they don’t have the right to do is take hostages in a synagogue. And that’s where we get involved.”

But it seems few are convinced by Mayorkas’ words.

A Destructive Force?

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) was swift in sending a statement to DHS arguing against the formation of the board, writing, “The Biden Administration has not proven itself to be a credible arbiter of ‘disinformation.’ Instead, it has taken steps to silence information that is unflattering to this Administration under the guise of ‘disinformation.’”

The Ministry of Truth needs to be mocked out of existence.

Who on the Progressive side is slamming the Ministry of Truth? The only Dim I see mentioned is Tulsi Gabbard, and she has been busy trying to portray herself as a common-sense moderate.

I liked DJT Jr.’s tweet mentioning how he would like to head this board when his father is re-elected in 2024.

I don’t think this is just a knee-jerk reaction against Musk. It’s been in the works for months or longer, I bet.

Have the bulk of those who call themselves “Americans” finally been too dumbed down by so-called “higher education” to remain FREE? The 2020 “STEALECTION” and subsequent events seem to prove it!

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t that ALREADY illegal? /S What idiots and scum bags.
Maybe some rats 🐀 are against it, because they know, what goes around, comes around. It might come back to bite them in the nether regions.

Good article bad headline. All the Republicans plus Tulsi Gabbard does not equal “both sides”.

Yeah, self-awareness is not a liberal trait. Fortunately the DGB won't have subpoena authority or secret surveillance capabilities or a SWAT team...oh, wait, they work for Homeland Security, don't they. Who does. Lovely.

” “An individual has the free speech right to spew anti-Semitic rhetoric, what they don’t have the right to do is take hostages in a synagogue. And that’s where we get involved.” “

So let me get this straight—taking hostages in a synagogue is called—disinformation?? No, it isn’t. And that is not the purpose of the body you just formed. You lying scumbag of a -—

DISINFORMANT!!!!

Exactly how stupid do you think we are?!?!?!?!

The DEMS certainly HATE SUCCESS—especially from a self- made person.

Nowhere like the Biden corrupt family.
