Nina Jankowicz is well known for being among the first and most vocal people involved in the Hunter Biden laptop story, reinforcing the DNC narrative that it was Russian disinformation.

This woman is a political hack and not a good faith operator. Now she leads the ministry of truth. Doubleplusgood, comrades!

Also, it's legal (but distasteful) for political activists to pressure media companies to suppress stories that they don't like. But it's an entirely different thing to create a "Disinformation Governance Board" under the authority of the Homeland Security Department (which encompasses police agencies like the INS, TSA and Secret Service) to decide which stories are "disinformation" and shouldn't be published - that raises First Amendment issues of speech and press freedom.
She's being rewarded for being a team player and towing the party line.
It's scary to know that these people are so confident to think they can create "Disinformation Governance Board" and appoint alt-left super-biased cringe person to lead it.
