I can’t stand listening to her talk. She clearly lives the sound of her own voice.

C-Span doesn't report anything and doesn't report facts. What it does is show congressional primary sources without editorilizing. The AP is a private business that aggregates and distributes news. In effect it's an old school crowd sourcing platform. It is only as reliable as the sources it distributes. Might as well just have Snopes do it.

But I agree with your underlying sentiment. It needs to be insulated from politics and integrity is essential. C-span for facts should be the model.

Streaming source information is the very definition of reporting facts.

AP is a non profit that employs many journalists and does in fact report news. AP is the source for most other news outlets. Comparing it to Snopes is ... strange.

AP is better than some, but they could use some fact checking too.
Take this tweet:

One reply says this:

"The bill didn't codify Roe, it wasn't blocked by a filibuster, it failed to get 50 votes.

Other than that, some solid work by the AP."

The concept of this board is just wrong. And, the fact that they picked a highly partisan hack to lead it shows it is not a serious group.

Agree as long as you acknowledge that both sides are vulnerable to foreign propaganda or foreign interests.

I agree that everyone is vulnerable.
This shouldn’t be partisan. We can’t let
Foreign adversaries pollute our national discourse.

I hope when the next president is elected in 2024 he disbands this truth ministry and jails the propaganda minister in charge

Probably. This administration and Scary Poppins should be ridiculed endlessly until their departure from this planet

Watch, it’ll probably still happen anyway, just silently.

Now they’re claiming right-wing attacks stopped this
Lmfao, what a joke.

Create a Ministry of Truth, then appoint a hyper-partisan ultra left wing political pundit to head the department and tell the public that she is impartial. Millions of people laugh at you and she quietly resigns a couple weeks later in disgrace before even taking office. Can't make this shit up.

Like everything else..... they need to blame their poor decisions and horrendous roll-out on something other than their total incompetency.

I have to wonder if this was sabotaged from within by people who understood its danger. My understanding is some cooler heads in the administration were opposed. Hiring this person for the board seems like either pure incompetence or intentional sabotage.
