Earlier this week, we told you about the Disinformation Governance Board. It\\u2019s a new group within the Department of Homeland Security. Officials say it will fight the spread of misleading or false information that could have real-life consequences, especially when it comes from the Russian government or human smugglers.\\xa0

But there\\u2019s not a lot of information yet about how it will work. Some even worry it will turn into something like the fictional \\u201cMinistry of Truth\\u201d that pushed state-sponsored propaganda in the novel \\u201c1984.\\u201d

We hope to break down the arguments from both sides of this and clear up any confusion you may have after seeing some of the headlines. To help us do that, we\\u2019re welcoming back the woman known as \\u201cAmerica\\u2019s government teacher,\\u201d and host of the popular podcast \\u201cSharon Says So,\\u201d Sharon McMahon.
