SPECIAL DELIVERY: About a month back the Biden Administration launched the Orwellian “Disinformation Board,” ostensibly to combat Russian propaganda. But we all know this song — and it’s a bad song.

Fury was immediate, and profound. The Ministry of Truth has since collapsed, Nina Jankowicz, the would-be TikTok-star-turned-Chief-Censor has resigned, and the Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz has once again made herself part of the story.
I hit up Santi Ruiz for details on Jankowicz, and a look at the bizarre parallels between subject and reporter in this ongoing bleed between the worlds of press, government, and technology.
