The Disinformation Governance Board, in existence for only three weeks, has been "paused," according to sources. This could well mean the American version of MiniTrue is, in fact, dead. If it has indeed been killed, I suspect this is because at least one clear-eyed Democrat had the sanity to note that the establishment of a Ministry of Truth was not going to go over well with the majority of the populace. Doubling down on crazy in an election year is never a good strategy. At least, I'm charitably assuming that that's what's going on.

According to the Washington Post, it was a right-wing smear campaign that undermined the Board's good intentions:
"Experts say that right-wing disinformation and smear campaigns regularly follow the same playbook and that it’s crucial that the public and leaders of institutions, especially in the government, the media and educational bodies, understand more fully how these cycles operate."
Ah well, the good guys win this battle. I won't be surprised to see the concept resurrected in the future.
Styx also predicts the board will return. The left never learns.
