Judge Tosses Former 'Disinformation' Chief's Defamation Suit, Says She Really Was a Censor

Imagine you're a prominent "disinformation expert" once hired to head a government board to fight alleged untruths but unceremoniously dumped from the position when the board was dissolved amidst public outcry. Smeared oh so cruelly as the would-be chief censor of a government body tasked with policing people's speech, you sue your critics for defamation to set the record straight. And then…the judge tosses out your case, saying you and your stillborn board really were created to engage in censorship, and descriptions to that effect are accurate.

Ouch, Nina Jankowicz. Ouch.
