What’s wrong @MeetThePress?
Who aired a clip of @GovRonDeSantis saying he’d “seen the stuff Biden is putting out, that he’s going to create these FEMA camps or whatever, & that’s not necessary for Florida” without first telling @NBCNews viewers that’s a conspiratorial falsehood?

The host, @chucktodd, said @POTUS Biden faces a challenges in making Republican governors partners in COVID response, & framed the clip as an example of “some Trump allies who are dismissive of his plans.”
That’s inaccurate: the challenge is Trump & allies will lie & fear-monger

After hosting a show in disinformation, @MeetThePress is still not adjusting its own editorial practices to the alternative reality in which official lies have disinformed people in post-truth America & stopped airing them or officials without inoculating viewers with #FactsFirst
If government disinformation about public health is itself a public health risk, then journalists must stop spreading it, now: put serial liars in epistemic quarantine, & inoculate people’s minds with facts to keep our body politic healthy e-pluribusunum.org/2020/03/11/if-…

#FactsFirst: The @WhiteHouse national strategy for #COVID19 response is to create as many venues as needed for people to be vaccinated, including 100 federally supported vaccination centers set up by @FEMA to help underserved, under-resourced jurisdictions whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
That claim by @GovRonDeSantis is a bullhorn of BS that will polarize people against the Biden administration & vaccination.
Anyone with a passing familiarity to the history of conspiracy theories in American public life knows this “FEMA camps” conspiracy.
