Call it Censorship: A Court rules Against Disinformation Czar Nina Jankowicz

For free speech advocates, there are few images more chilling than that of Nina Jankowicz singing her now-infamous tune as “the Mary Poppins of Disinformation.”

The woman who would become known as the “Disinformation Czar” sang a cheerful TikTok parody of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to rally people to the cause of censorship.

When the press caught wind of President Biden’s plan to appoint Jankowicz as head of the Department of Homeland Security’s new “disinformation board,” Fox News said she “intended to censor Americans’ speech.”

The backlash was swift. Plans for the board were suspended, and Jankowicz resigned in 2022. She then sued Fox News for defamation.

On Monday, the case was dismissed. But Chief Judge Colm Connolly, a Delaware Democrat, didn’t just say it was legally unfounded — he demolished the claims of figures like Jankowicz that they are really not engaged in censorship.

It was a telling lawsuit, as Jankowicz simply labeled criticism of her as “defamation” — just as she labeled opposing views “disinformation.”

The objections to her work were called false and she insisted that she was really not seeking to censor people with her work.

And yet they still make plans. These are part of the recent plans https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/global-principles-information-integrity-press-release.pdf

It's a press release. They must feel confident about the election results.

The ‘Censorship Czar’ not only needs to be sanctioned by the courts for blatant lawfare, she needs to be prosecuted by the Fed for violating civil rights under the color of authority. Her work violated the very essence of the first amendment, the protection of political speech. Trump’s AG should have this on his agenda when he takes office in January.
