Jesus, Trump is desperate. Scared and showing it.

Here's a clue, Donald: success creates good news. Do something right for a change.

Yes it reminds me of the Disinformation Governance Board established by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in April 2022 to coordinate efforts against disinformation, particularly related to national security threats.

Oh, I see.

Fox News fought for their right to lie all the way to the Supreme Court, and won.

But news broadcaters telling the truth? That's an entirely different matter.

You are dumb enough that it reminds you of that.

Disinformation Governance Board: "We need to monitor and find legal ways to stop foreign actors from spreading disinformation."
FCC Chair: "Stop reporting facts about the Iran war or lose your license!"
OneIronPedo: "Drrr....these two things are same! Drrr...."

As you pointed out, Fox News admitted they lie, calling what they do "entertainment."

If I'm going to watch TV news, I usually watch BBC.
