You would think that a creative soul like King Stephen think twice about empowering the government to decide what is “disinformation” or not.
And you were wrong.
King, a progressive in the wool field, shared his support for Nina Jankowicz on Twitter this week. She is the new head of Information management boardpart of the Biden administration’s effort to crack down on Fake News.
I stand with Nina Jankowicz.

Of course, King left out some of the highlights regarding both Jankowicz and the new government agency.
First of all, why are we giving the government the ball and going on strike like that? The Biden administration’s lies are legendary, and progressives will be the first to point out the Trump team’s ability to falsify the truth.
King didn’t realize that the GOP could be in charge in less than three years? What then? Does he even remember “1984” and “The Ministry of Truth?”

Plus, Jankowicz brings an incredible record to the show. She attacked Hunter Biden laptop verified like Russian disinformation and praise a key force behind Russia’s collusion hoaxChristopher Steele.
More recently, she suggested progressives and minorities face the burden of Big Tech censorship, not conservatives. It’s a funny statement and it will immediately stop her from tackling her new quest.
Naturally, Twitter users attacked King – some with humour, and others with ideology.
Of course, your entire career is devoted to writing about monsters.

She’s an autocrat – a cartoon character who lies incessantly – but even if she’s not a phenomenon, what kind of person stands proudly at the head of the Information Department inside the Ministry of Security? Homeland Security? https://t.co/K3whmqKvcM

How come an author has never read 1984?!

Stand with Nina now or sit in the re-education camp later.

Stephen King is in a fierce battle with @KeithOlbermann because who will benefit most from letting their phone get smashed out of hand by a loved one.

The author favors censorship, it’s 2022.

You may be a very creative writer, but you are definitely not a historian..

Hi Mr. King, I’ve been a fan since reading The when I was in 8th grade. Highly recommend this. @ggreenwald article on why the Government Information Panel (Trump will call it the Fake News Department) does not protect freedom of speech but is in fact a danger to it.https://t.co/WxKVNHqCWE
