    Rebalancing what? I'm not sure where you're going with this.

    The article you posted is extremely biased and deceptive.
    If this is what you use for information, it explains a lot.

    Each post like this is more priceless than the last....

    I'm truly DYING to know what power you think this board within the DHS, designed to speak out against Russian and migration disinformation, gives Joe Biden??

    By your definition, T**** was already his own one-man ministry of truth...

    If T**** wins and kept a board designed to combat Russian disinformation, I'd be truly stunned...

    Where/what are the errors, and how do you know?

    Absolutely false. What does the president have to say about it?

    "Blasting the problem of COVID-19 misinformation last summer, President Biden said, "Anyone listening to it is getting hurt by it. It's killing people. It's bad information. My hope is that Facebook, instead of taking it personally that somehow I'm saying Facebook is killing people, that they would do something about the misinformation. The outrageous misinformation about the vaccine.""

    You have an amazing level of trust in government, whom historically deserve no such trust.

    Good point. This will only create a misinformation pendulum.

    You still haven't actually answered, unless you are admitting that your answer is "none." I asked what rights are being violated.

    Nope. But the only argument I've heard so far that is remotely sensical is "but the name is scary." In neither case do I see any evidence that the GOVERNMENT is limiting anyone's speech. In both cases, the only real complaint is that the name sounds skewy.

    Being as that this new board has nothing to do with COVID (yet), I'd say the president wasn't talking about "it" at that time...

    But still......Great idea!!... DHS should add vaccine disinformation to their mandate... maybe Phase 2....

    Now that's the kind of thinking that'll put you on the map!!!

    Welp, at least we agree that the claims of fascism and rights violations are entirely idiotic nonsense. Cool beans.

    Absolutely.

    But others here who identify as Libertarian only do it to avoid having to answer for Progressivism. These individuals are not Libertarians.

    Feel free to be the first person on the thread, after 9 pages, to actually identify any rights violations. Libertarianism doesn't forbid a government from sending out press releases.

    Is that a new department of the GOVERNMENT?

    Your point is specious to the discussion then.

    Actually reading the entire post would show you are wrong. Why can't you read the post?

    The left prays at the alter of government.

    There will absolutely be a day that "I told you so" continues to be justified.

    But don't worry, they will disappear when that happens.

    What government control is involved here? Be specific.

    Because they barely mention, near the bottom, the significant factor that this new board is aimed only at disinformation around the US/Mexico border and Russia.
    The OP article made it sound like they were creating a general, overall sweeping public disinformation. The ensuing comments are an illustration of why they did that.
    Nothing new, great for flashy, grab you attention headlines, but not very honest, imo.

    For as long as the United States has had intelligence agencies do you think it's just now that an agency needs to be created to deal with disinformation?

    I read where you brought up a specious point about a non-government social platform.

    You couldn't read past the first couple of words. Maybe try. It's a pretty simple concept. Or you can be the first person on the thread to actually show how this involves any kind of rights violation or fascism. Would you like to be the first?
