This campaign season saw the left still shrieking about the threat of disinformation from the right — even as Democrats openly and proudly embraced their commitment to telling lies and insisting they’re true.
Exhibit 1 Billion: Courier Newsroom, a literal fake news outfit backed by the leading leftoid sugar daddy George Soros.
It also counts prog megadonor Reid Hoffman among the benefactors of its parent, the astonishingly misnamed Good Information Inc.

It’s not fake if you buy into into it. The issue is the low information voter which is the entire liberal left. They want their news like they want their government... To tell them what to do, how to do it and when to do it. They’re incapable of free thought.
Soros-Funded Group Hires Former Anti-Trump Lincoln Project Operative

RC Di Mezzo, former national press secretary for the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, left the Super PAC to work for Soros-funded “anti-disinformation” project, Good Information Inc.
Democrat mega-donors like Laurene Powell Jobs, Reid Hoffman, and George Soros teamed up to fund the Good Information Inc. start-up at its launch in 2021.
As Breitbart News reported:
The new project, “Good Information Inc.,” will be led by Democrat party strategist Tara McGowan, and according to Axios, “aims to fund and scale businesses that cut through echo chambers with fact-based information.”
McGowan has been at the top of multiple companies with financial ties to Soros and Jobs. Before running Good Information Inc., the democrat operative ran ACRONYM and Courier Newsroom.
The Washington Free Beacon reported:
ACRONYM, with the help of funding from Powell Jobs, also operated Courier Newsroom, a network of left-wing media websites posing as local news sources. Courier, which has been accused of peddling “hyperlocal partisan propaganda,” is now owned by Good Information Inc. after being acquired from ACRONYM for an undisclosed sum.
ACRONYM is notorious for funding Shadow Inc., the Democrat Party-contracted firm that delayed reporting during the Iowa caucus.
Before Di Mezzo worked as the Lincoln Project’s national press secretary and senior digital strategist, he worked for the Democrat Party of Vermont as communications director.
Di Mezzo worked with the Lincoln Project during its tiki torch hoax, in which operatives attempted to link Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin to white supremacists in the days leading up to Youngkin’s election.
Di Mezzo will serve as Good Information Inc.’s communications director.

It’s the Pelosi wrap-up smear. Utter a lie in a public forum. Then get the propaganda media to report on the lie. Then reference and use the media’s report to validate the lie. I hate the current lexicon of mis and disinformation to describe what is nothing more than lies. Why does everything have to be whitewashed and fluffed up to the point of incomprehensibility? A lot of this confusion began with politicians and other BS artists who never lie, they just misspeak.
It’s probably not a coincidence, but during the Cold War, misinformation and disinformation were spy tactics employed by the CIA and KGB to sew political dissension. Not to mention, the left accuses the right of which they are most guilty.
An app created by a tech firm run by veterans of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign is taking heat for the unprecedented delay in reporting [2020] Democratic caucus results from Iowa.
The firm behind the app reportedly is Shadow, an affiliate of ACRONYM, a Democratic nonprofit founded in 2017 “to educate, inspire, register, and mobilize voters,” according to its website. Shadow started out as Groundbase, a tech developer co-founded by Gerard Niemira and Krista Davis, who worked for the tech team on Clinton’s campaign for the 2016 Democratic nomination. Niemira had previously worked at kiva.org, a nonprofit that makes loans to entrepreneurs and others in the developing world, and Davis had spent eight years as an engineer at Google. ACRONYM’s founder and CEO is Tara McGowan, a former journalist and digital producer with President Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign.

I don’t think that the results of the 2016 Iowa primary were ever released. As I recall there was a crazy ranked choice voting system. The easiest explanation is that Hillary lost and she squelched the results.
Goebbels
ACRONYM has a superpac called PACRONYM.
“New disclosure forms show that PACRONYM, a super PAC affiliated with McGowan’s nonprofit ACRONYM—the dark money group behind the botched Iowa caucus app—spent close to $2.4 million on anti-Trump ads Wednesday night that will run in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. The money was sent to a for-profit digital consulting firm, Lockwood Strategy Lab, which is also part of McGowan’s network.”
McGowan’s PAC had already sent nearly $1.5 million to ACRONYM for media buys against Trump and $400,000 for “digital consulting and survey research.”

LOL. If that meme doesn’t sum it all up, nothing does.
A mind is such a terrible thing to waste.
That is very well said.
The left is the DNC leadership, the CIA MSM nexus, the Department of State, and everything FDR ever touched or created within the organization of the USG. These are the same people who brought news of victory’s in Ukraine daily, and now we learn Biden ordered the invasion into Kursk Russia.
The Chicago wing of the DNC are just mobsters who failed like that gangester Hitler on the world stage.

“Shadow, a Democrat-affiliated technology company, developed the app that officials had hoped would deliver swifter caucus results. The outfit is run by Gerard Niemira, who served as Director of Product for Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign. Additionally, former Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook was part of the project Defending Digital Democracy (DDD) — an initiative aimed at protecting elections from cyberattack — that tested the app ahead of the botched caucus.”
I believe this “app” was nothing more than another leftist tool that would be used to control the flow of information and “adjust’ the outputs in hopes of controlling the outcome. It most likely had a bunch of backdoors as well as hidden “controls” that they weren’t able to fully test before their first “Big test”.
Also, I saw an article that the DHS offered to test the app for the DNC, and were turned down. Wonder why? Inquiring minds want to know...
