The Department of Homeland Security is 'pausing' its controversial disinformation board just three weeks after it was unveiled following withering attacks from Republicans and conservative TV pundits.
It was intended to combat misinformation but critics quickly homed in on the role of its chief, Nina Jankowicz, and her history fighting disinformation and extremism.
In particular, they questioned her expertise after it emerged she had dismissed the 2020 discovery of Hunter Biden's laptop as being a 'Trump campaign product.'

That and the really bad optics doomed this. It is an impeachable high crime to squash free speech.
Tha article says:
Multiple sources told the Washington Post that the Department of Homeland Security decided on Monday to close its Disinformation Governance Board and that Jankowicz, 33, had drafted a resignation letter.
But by the end of Tuesday she and the board had won a reprieve, although it could yet be shut down.
Don’ think for a moment that this is over. Leftists never give up.

They want the U.S. taxpayers to fund their propaganda instead of taking the financial hits themselves when exposed. They also wanted to cite the Ministry of Disinformation as the "authority" while spreading propaganda, to claim that it wasn't their statements and that they were only passing it along from the "official government source".
Room 101 gets lights turned off for now.
“Not paused, just going stealth, but it will still be there.”
Yep, absolutely...
A while ago, “Trumpet” was taken as a social network. May be why they went with Truth Social.
As we enter The Summer of Rage, Nina is going to seem sane.
Premature celebration, ....these evil people never give up. Expected to either resurrected with a different person and a different name or it’ll be like a behind closed doors secretive KGB type organization....we’ll know about it when it’s too late to do anything about it! That’s the way evil works!
Two steps forward, one step back...
She had spent 6 years of her life building up to yim-yamming every Xiden official that she wanted her damn board established -- now!
And Mayorkas folded! HE GOT TOLD! "You either fold this up, or you will be called in front of a GOP Committee on Jan. 3, 2023, under oath, to explain how you failed to vet this insane shriek---t. It'll be on YOU, Alejandro."
Moved it to today to let the MSM bury it under the primary results lol. But she won't stay quiet long -- her last tweet was four days ago so this zit popped on Monday.
That seems to be the case, doesn’t it? They always pop up again - leftovers from previous administrations rise to the top and take over. Old soldiers never die - neither do politicians!
It may NOT have started out as a TRUMP campaign tool——
BUT IT SURE IS ONE NOW......
Exactly what I thought. They got caught a little find a way to sneak it in somewhere else.
If you have a free and fair press and news media, you don’t need a “disinformation board” run by the state. It’s really that simple.
Oh well, back to Tok Tok singing videos with the other 16 year olds.
This is an Ipsos secret sauce (pssst ... it's poo) 'online survey' = push-polling garbage; and 11% "Don't Know", which actually extends the MoE to +/-15.5%. Oh, but wait, their MoE isn't actually an MoE, because their poll isn't actually a poll:
"Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online non-probability polls. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including but not limited to coverage error and measurement error. Where figures do not sum to 100, this is due to the effects of rounding. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points for all respondents. Ipsos calculates a design effect (DEFF) for each study based on the variation of the weights, following the formula of Kish (1965). This study had a credibility interval adjusted for design effect of the following (n=1,005, DEFF=1.5, adjusted Confidence Interval=+/-5.3 percentage points)."Non-randomized push-polling GARBAGE. A "Credibility interval" is where "Credibility" takes an "interval". Just incredulous that this garbage was even posted.
But just ignore the CEsspool for a minute -- let's add "A little bit" and "Not at all" = 37%.
So potentially over half of respondents -- "A little bit" + "Not at all" + "Don't Know" = a majority of respondents don't give a f--- about the question. Worthless clickbait nonsense.
"These are the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between April 25-26, 2022. For this survey, a sample of 1,005 adults age 18+ from the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii was interviewed online in English. The poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points for all respondents. The results of this poll are trended against previous Reuters/Ipsos surveys conducted March 28-29, March 7-8, March 3-4, February 28-March 1, and February 23-24, 2022. For those surveys, a sample of ~1,000 adults age 18+ from the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii was interviewed online in English. The polls have a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points for all respondents."
Exactly right. From now on only support and vote for R’s who are ready and willing to declare open war on Demonrats.
