Steven Lee Myers and Eileen Sullivan from the New York Times argued that this backlash has become "deeply partisan" despite "wide agreement" that disinformation campaigns are a threat.
"There is wide agreement across the federal government that coordinated disinformation campaigns threaten to exacerbate public health emergencies, stoke ethnic and racial divisions and even undermine democracy itself. The board’s fate, however, has underscored how deeply partisan the issue has become in Washington, making it nearly impossible to consider addressing the threat," Myers and Sullivan wrote.
