Nina’s real problem is that she is obviously an unhinged kook. Her Nazi schtick might fly amongst the woke, but real people only laugh at such lunatic rantings.

We just dodged a 155mm today.
The powers that be will not give up their NEED to control everything.

Biden attacked the American people first

I enjoy watching low-IQ, sleazy CIA hires at the WP trying to make cake out of cowpies.

Maybe more purple short hair and facial piercings.

In that photo she looks like the twin of the Michigan governor. An uncanny resemblance.

LOLOLOL!!!

Taylor Lorenz?!!

ROFLMAzzOPIMPWTIME!!

[backwoods-engineer]

the administration chose someone with extensive experience in field of disinformation

Meaning, she PRODUCES disinformation? Now that, I agree with.

[Michael.SF.]

Jankowicz's experience is a prime example of how the right-wing Internet apparatus operates, where far-right influencers attempt to identify a target, present a narrative and then repeat mischaracterizations across social media and websites with the aim of discrediting and attacking anyone who seeks to challenge them.

Shear projection on Lorenz part. Looks like she is well versed in Alinsky tactics:

Alinsky’s Rule for Radicals #13: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Good to see their tactics being used against them.

Hi.

I wonder if Taylor Lorenz ever read, “1984?”

I know Nina did.

Taylor Lorenz the crybully.

It’ not about Mini the Nut - the whole idea is wrong and cannot be allowed regardless of who is put in charge.

A 1,500 word article, and not one mention of Miss Nina’s characterization of Hunter’s laptop as Russian propaganda.

George Burns once called his wife Miss Information. Nina is an unworthy successor. At least Gracie was both funny and harmless.

Boo-hoo.

Always remember that democrat’s definition of democracy
has no relation to the republic our founders created.

The Biden administration tapped Nina Jankowicz, a well-known figure in the field of [promulgating and] fighting disinformation and extremism, [with a solid history of not being able to distinguish between misinformation and actual facts] as the board’s executive director.

[ought-six]

You see the resemblance? It’s uncanny.

[lepton]

She has also served as a disinformation fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center

---

Not explicitly partisan, but heavily left leaning with some peculiar points of view.

[Boogieman]

“Within the small community of disinformation researchers, her work was well-regarded.”

It’s a “small community” because it’s not an authentic academic discipline. It’s an invented description to make professional propagandists seem like something other than professional propagandists.

[mosaicwolf]

I think she ran into the Constitutional Republic syndrome.
