They conclude that this nutcase is American. Is that true? There is no information on where she was born in any articles or posts. I seem to remember that she might be from the Ukraine?

"These smears leveled by bad-faith, right-wing actors against a deeply qualified expert and against efforts to better combat human smuggling and domestic terrorism are disgusting," deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates told The Post on Tuesday.

How did they determine these were bad-faith actors, when they hadn't even announced what this mysterious Disinformation Governance Board was going to do? How else would anyone interpret the goal of "countering misinformation" other than they intend to decide what is true and what is untrue and quashing the latter?

It sounds to me like the right did the nation a service by exposing this monstrosity.

I am fairly sure that they Post meant to say something like "How the Biden administration let right-wing attacks derail its efforts to fight disinformation" or something like that. Instead, it reads like it was the administration's efforts at creating and using disinformation that the right-wing defeated. Either Lorenz or the editors or both missed that. Or their a** is showing mightily.

She needs some old time religion. She should be corrected by her husband, but not using a stick larger in thickness than his thumb.

Guess which religion?

She has been subject to an unrelenting barrage of harassment and abuse while unchecked misrepresentations of her work continue to go viral.
Oh noooooes!

“The love child of Gretchen Whitmer and Jeffrey Toobin...”

Makes sense, but only if it was in vitro fertilization. Toobin “does his thing” and the specimen gets matched up with Whitmer’s ova in a dish and...well.

Ask her if she ever heard of or studied under Prof. Roy Godson and his group of scholars, Herb Romerstein, Eric Breindel, Todd Leventhal, Stan Evans, John Haynes and company, Michael Waller, Franz Michaels & Charlie Moser, Lev Dobriansky, Avram Shifrin, Trevor Loudoun, Cliff Kincaid, and David Martin.

They were the pioneers in the study of “Diszinformatia”.

If she hasn’t or didn’t, then whatever she learned on the subject was second rate and often second hand.

Couldn’t be the love child of Witless and Toobin because he gets off before he gets on.

Kyriandill -sorry if I misspelled your name), you’re faster at getting off a reply to a comment on FR than Toobin is in getting off at work.
