"Will not monitor US citizens". We've heard that one before.

Not sure why they would expected it to be apolitical when they intentionally picked people with very strong political biases to comprise it.

I'm sick of 1984 being used as an instruction manual instead of a warning of what not to do.

[supermodelatlanta]

From the party who uses disinformation to build a base this is funny 🤣

Not even republican and I think this is stupid. One admin establishes this and another pushes the envelope. Sliding scale.

Great... First it was The Patriot Act and now this?!? ALL BAD.

Mr, President could you make a Homeless to work board? Get homeless Americans off the street into an apartment, a job and becoming a productive member of society

[Hollergirlohio]

I would hope we already do that and have been doing that. why do we need ANOTHER committee for fake news or propaganda. if this this committee is going to try to reassure the public of the politics at play, then don't put the politicians in these seats

[ykmadd]

Censorship is directly against the Constitution.

[willm]

Calls to violence are already illegal. How is possible to limit any other speech without infringing on free speech?

[CIA.-ub]

Yes, of course, they will be apolitical.... joke of the year given who leads this.
