When asked on Instagram Live whether or not Congress was discussing a plan for “federal truth and reconciliation” or “media literacy initiatives to help with healing," Ocasio-Cortez said it was being discussed and that it was an “interesting concept to explore.”
“And we're going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so that you can't just spew disinformation and misinformation,” the New York Democrat said. “It's one thing to have differing opinions, but it's another thing entirely to just say things that are false. And so that's something that we're looking into.”

How has our great country arrived at a point where young fools -- AOC -- who have no understanding much less appreciation for fundamental Constitutional rights get elected to office?

If it were actually to rein in disinformation, as practiced by the tech monopolies, I'd be all for it. But AOC, like all communists, means the exact opposite of what she says.

She would like to have a monopoly on misinformation.

Gee, that would put ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, PBS, CNN, USAToday, LATimes, NYTimes and a couple of hundred other Enemedia outlets out of business. Disinformation is what they do every single day.

And of course, only those on the left will be the arbiters of what is "information" vs "disinformation". We've seen this rodeo before.

"you can't just spew disinformation and misinformation,"
If that came to pass, AOC would never be able to open her mouth

It is all about publicity, controversy, clicks, and eyeballs. This loony, leftist, media-creation is quoted and interviewed endlessly, AOC this, AOC that.
There are a couple hundred other Democrat Representatives. Knowledgeable, experienced, educated, and so on. Where are interviews with any of them? Something that would actually be an intelligent conversation?
No, they want the outrageous sound bite, and bug-eyed AOC obliges every time. She is a useful idiot though, since she constantly lurches the Overton window leftward.

How did Occasional-Cortex manage to get such relevance? AOC. The Squad. Good grief, they think we're all 14 years old.

Sounds about right for this bunch. Maybe they could call it the “Ministry of Information”
