The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2022\/05\/18\/disinformation-board-dhs-nina-jankowicz\/\">Washington Post<\/a> reported that the Department of Homeland Security decided to close the board Monday but is hesitating to pull the plug: \u201cWorking groups within DHS focused on mis-, dis- and mal-information have been suspended.\u201d The board could be reactivated at any point, especially if the Biden team can find a more credible boss.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post piece on the controversy was a classic of pro-Leviathan propaganda.
