Taibbi is an interesting writer. One of the more interesting things about him is that he really, seriously, doesn’t like Trump. He’s written at least one opus magnum on the subject, which I haven’t read because I got the gist on X.
"misinformation" and "disinformation" are code words that mean "things that the government doesn't like" (and their media partners). It seems to me that people are starting to wise up to this word, and it is losing its effectiveness.
Just remember: These are the people protecting our democratic/constitutional norms. Like the norm that says left-wing Deep State ideologues are not only entitled to lifetime employment and pensions as members of a vast, unelected bureaucracy, but they also get to do whatever they please with the powers they hold without accountability to Congress, the Chief Executive, or the American taxpayer.
Identifying/flagging foreign-source propaganda to inform/warn the government/public might be a worthwhile endeavor, but do they ever do just what they say they'll do in the way they promise they'll do it?
The Progressive Democrats have used every trick in the book in 2016, 2020, and now 2024, to ensure their legacy of control perpetuates. It'll be a tougher game now, but I think the incoming administration is a lot more focused on making headway this time. Will they be distracted? Have the PD's destroyed the personnel records too? I think Trump should establish that as soon as 'bad faith' tactics are discovered, the gloves are off and lifelong sinecures are all done, and the 20-year veteran adminstrator-warriors are out the door and on the street, no exceptions, see ya in court about that pension. It's the new 'Lawfare'.

Paging Marco Rubio and DOGE guys
Has Zukabug become man enough to help fight this stuff?

I wonder what they will replace it with.

Javier Milieu. The only way.
I've got your genuine insurrection, right here!

I've never heard a clear explanation of the harm perpetrated by so called foreign propaganda. I am skeptical it amounts to much.
Asking in good faith, can't the new Secretary of State simply close that department and lay off the employees?
The Democratic Cuckoos.
