Former ‘Disinformation’ Czar Nina Jankowicz: ‘There Was No Censorship Going on at the Global Engagement Center at the State Department’

KALMAGER DOVE So a ░░░░░░░░ claim of this hearing ░░░░░░░░ that state s GEC ░░░░░░░░ set up under the ░░░░░░░░ Administration and championed by ░░░░░░░░ Senator Marco Rubio supported ░░░░░░░░ that censored conservative speech ░░░░░░░░ worked to discredit conservative ░░░░░░░░ Ms Jankowicz to your ░░░░░░░░ has State Department funding ░░░░░░░░ gone towards suppressing domestic ░░░░░░░░ JANKOWICZ Thank you Ranking ░░░░░░░░ You know Mr Taibbi ░░░░░░░░ when he was first ░░░░░░░░ through the so called ░░░░░░░░ files he didn t ░░░░░░░░ what he was looking ░░░░░░░░ Well he still doesn ░░░░░░░░ Everything looks like a ░░░░░░░░ when you don t ░░░░░░░░ how anything works And ░░░░░░░░ me tell you there ░░░░░░░░ no censorship going on ░░░░░░░░ the Global Engagement Center ░░░░░░░░ the State Department You ░░░░░░░░ have heard Mr Weingarten ░░░░░░░░ of make the inference ░░░░░░░░ all of these lists ░░░░░░░░ and NewsGuard are making ░░░░░░░░ might have thought that ░░░░░░░░ were funded by the ░░░░░░░░ Department They were not ░░░░░░░░ you know what the ░░░░░░░░ Department was funding for ░░░░░░░░ two organizations Something I ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans on this ░░░░░░░░ would be very interested ░░░░░░░░ tracking and countering Chinese ░░░░░░░░ propaganda targeting Americans Now ░░░░░░░░ used to manage State ░░░░░░░░ grants early in my ░░░░░░░░ I know that that ░░░░░░░░ a huge fiduciary responsibility ░░░░░░░░ have to account for ░░░░░░░░ single penny that you ░░░░░░░░ spending on travel on ░░░░░░░░ time on supplies and ░░░░░░░░ have to do it ░░░░░░░░ times a year So ░░░░░░░░ folks to sit here ░░░░░░░░ say that grants dedicated ░░░░░░░░ countering CCP propaganda were ░░░░░░░░ spent on conservative blacklists ░░░░░░░░ just ridiculous And I ░░░░░░░░ also add that that ░░░░░░░░ those organizations speech to ░░░░░░░░ able to do research ░░░░░░░░ and you know categorize ░░░░░░░░ sites as they see ░░░░░░░░ A letter sent to ░░░░░░░░ Senate last week shows ░░░░░░░░ actually a lot of ░░░░░░░░ organizations including the Heritage ░░░░░░░░ The Wall Street Journal ░░░░░░░░ Cato Institute and The ░░░░░░░░ Free Beacon all received ░░░░░░░░ ratings by NewsGuard while ░░░░░░░░ Daily Post only got ░░░░░░░░ out of 100 So ░░░░░░░░ nonsense about about bias ░░░░░░░░ is just frankly not ░░░░░░░░ And it also rings ░░░░░░░░ little bit like a ░░░░░░░░ who got a bad ░░░░░░░░ in The Washington Post ░░░░░░░░ that nobody wants to ░░░░░░░░ there anymore.”
