As @PressSec emphasized, the effort against covid disinformation aims at public-facing social-media accounts, which sort of lets the air out of the "spying" allegation. 2/

Exactly how many Biden press secretaries does the Washington Post employ? If you were more disturbed by Doocy’s question than Psaki’s answer, you might be a WaPo “journalist.”
Almost invariably now the WaPo sides with the the spy agencies and the surveillance state. Hit jobs on the rare journalist actually “speaking truth to power” are standard fare. Democracy Dies https://t.co/wYnKFDGSci
