The NY Times Wants Biden to Create a 'Reality Czar' - Is Orwell's '1984' Prophecy Coming True?2/3/2021
Kevin Roose, a technology columnist for The Times, writes, "Several experts I spoke with recommended that the Biden administration put together a cross-agency taskforce to tackle disinformation and domestic extremism, which would be led by something like a 'reality czar'."
