So let's check in on "Newsguard," one of the Orwellian groups (e.g., The Atlantic Council) that totally reliable sites like @voxdotcom and @axios use to decide what is "Unreliable" and "fight disinformation."
One example:
OK, so "The Daily Wire" and "https://t.co/oEa89coNak" are unreliable. Fair enough, maybe they are (I don't use either one of them).
So let's look into one of our new official arbiters of "reliability," Newsguard!
What's their advisory board look like?
https://t.co/5N8op70VE1
OK, so maybe a few names jumped out at you immediately, like, oh I don't know, (Ret.) General Michael Hayden, former Director of the CIA AND former Director of the National Security Agency in the run-up to the Iraq War in 2003! Google him, he's famous!
Newsguard is all about "seeing who's behind each site," (like how Michael Hayden is behind Newsguard?)
All they want to do is fight "misinformation." That's laudable, right?
Also, Newsguard has a "24/7 rapid response SWAT TEAM!!"
So cool!

Ok, I'm not a journalist or a former CIA director, so I have no idea what's true or not unless someone tells me, so hey, Columbia Journalism Review - what do you think of Newsguard Advisory Board Member Michael Hayden?

Gen-X? Who are they?
