The Biden Administration’s KGB DGB is a step too far for Lev Golinkin at The Nation:
Jankowicz’s experience as a disinformation warrior includes her work with StopFake, a US government-funded “anti-disinformation†organization founded in March 2014 and lauded as a model of how to combat Kremlin lies. Four years later, StopFake began aggressively whitewashing two Ukrainian neo-Nazi groups with a long track record of violence, including war crimes.
Today, StopFake is an official Facebook fact-checking partner, which gives it the power to censor news, while Jankowicz is America’s disinformation czar.
If the Biden administration is serious about combating threats such as white supremacy, perhaps it should first reflect on the old Roman question: Who will guard the guardians?
Losing the support of The Nation is a pretty good sign that the move you’re making is extreme.
