Are The Mass Layoffs In Left-Leaning Media Organizations The Result of the Expiration of the "Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act"?


Via Gab:

"I may be wrong, but...maybe I'm not?


The "Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act" included in the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2017 that Obama signed.


It expired Dec 2018
$160 million/ 2 years/1000 journalists laid off. 


Come out to $80k annual salary & benefits. 

Coincidence?

The state of the union is scheduled for February 5th.

Question: What does DNC, Resistance (writ lg), Pelosi, corrupt officials inside the DOJ/FBI/Special Counsel team have PLANNED to drop on February 4th/5th that will undermine their target (Trump)?

You know it will be big.
* Matt Whitaker is scheduled to testify to House Judiciary (Nadler) February 8th
* So the planets could be aligning for Whitaker to be confronted about the Mueller report. [The democrats are seriously giddy waiting for that fight to begin.] February 6th (day after SOU) could be a good day for strategic release of Mueller report....
* With Nadler and crew pre-positioned on the 8th to begin demanding Whitaker provide direct and unadulterated access to the full report content.
* ...And McConnell holding back the vote on Barr to ensure only the more vulnerable AAG is left fighting to protect it. A planned narrative where the DOJ is not allowing the full report distribution and Dem fight, also would provide cover for Democrats to vote against Barr.
* Nah,.... DC would never cross-party coordinate something like that. That's crazy talk right.

Crazy talk.

Right?

Too cynical.

Forget it.

Wait, wha?.... nah.

Nah.
