WaPo piece crushed for blaming ‘right-wing’ for derailing Disinfo Board: ‘Slobbering defense of power’
Fox News
Conservatives on Twitter ripped a Washington Post piece by Taylor Lorenz blaming "right-wing" attacks for putting the new Disinformation Governance Board on hold.
Lorenz wrote, "Jankowicz’s experience is a prime example of how the right-wing Internet apparatus operates, where far-right influencers attempt to identify a target, present a narrative and then repeat mischaracterizations across social media and websites with the aim of discrediting and attacking anyone who seeks to challenge them."
Conservatives criticized Jankowicz for heading a government agency tasked with combating disinformation online while she herself had history of promoting several debunked theories, including that former President Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election and that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian disinformation operation.
