Weird. Taylor Lorenz didn't include this tweet from a very important person in her article on the Disinformation Board

Over to you, Washington Post. . .

Why didn’t Taylor Lorenz mention Jeff Bezos — owner of the Washington Post — in her article claiming there was a coordinated right-wing attack on Nina Jankowicz and the now-paused DHS Disinformation Board?

Because Bezos sure appears to be mocking the board and its creation here:

It also appears that Lorenz totally mischaracterized former White House press secretary Jen Psaki “debunked” “false claims about the board during two news briefings.”

In the first briefing, Psaki didn’t even know who Jankowicz was:

"White House press secretary Jen Psaki… touted Jankowicz as “an expert on online disinformation”…"

In the first briefing, Psaki literally **did not know who Jankowicz was**: " I don’t have any information about this individual."https://t.co/Cqy2zzakSu pic.twitter.com/hQbWfQZ5qo

And in the second, she ignored a question on Hunter Biden’s laptop and Jancowicz previously called it a “Trump campaign product”:

"White House press secretary Jen Psaki debunked false claims about the board during two news briefings" – @taylorlorenz

Psaki, 1st briefing 'debunking': " I don’t have any comments on the laptop."

2nd briefing 'debunking': ignored laptop question https://t.co/Cqy2zzakSu pic.twitter.com/lMWLbUOqvh

This whole article was a dumpster fire and the WaPo really needs to fix it:

Where are the editors? This is an insane and self-indulgent frame for this story. https://t.co/16ex5uLHaA

And shame on the journos who are buying into Lorenz’s spin:

How are so many reporters tweeting this story like this with a straight face? This industry has gone insane. https://t.co/LtEvI7j5qW

Bingo:

Characterizing the fall of the Disinformation Governance Board as a disinformation op is a *demonstration* of the bankruptcy of the “disinformation” frame. It’s just whatever Taylor Lorenz dislikes or disagrees with.
