'Perfect': Serious professional journalist Soledad O'Brien testifies before Congress about 'disinformation and extremism in the media'

It’s time for Congress to have a serious conversation about “Disinformation and Extremism in the Media.” So that’s exactly what they’re doing today.

And who better to weigh in than a serious journalist like Soledad O’Brien?

The Subcommittee on Communications and Technology of the Committee on Energy and Commerce @EnergyCommerce will hold a hearing "Fanning the Flames: Disinformation and Extremism in the Media” on Wednesday at 12:30 pm.

I will be appearing as a witness. https://t.co/Gh7CkqiyW1

That makes her an expert witness!

In the list of the media outlets you worked for why did you omit @AlJazeera ?? Are you hiding your role? Here’s the release announcing your agreement https://t.co/2ViDoJ5g3c https://t.co/SfY9IgWfq3

Former @AlJazeera special correspondent @soledadobrien is testifying now to a House subcommitte — talking about trust ….despite failing to acknowledge in her testimony her work for a foreign agent https://t.co/w6pQKfPK3V

Soledad O'brien is among the worst, nastiest, and most hypocritical people in media. https://t.co/U7pg7mLL89

Like we said: she’s an expert on the subject of media malpractice.
