CBS: Disinformation Governance Board to tackle spread of misinformation in U.S., focusing on Russia and U.S.-Mexico border 

The Department of Homeland Security is setting up a Disinformation Governance Board to try to counter the spread of false information. 

The board will focus on disinformation coming from Russia as well as misleading messages about the U.S.-Mexico border, the Associated Press reports. 

The immediate focus will be on misinformation from human smugglers, who spread false claims about U.S. border policy to migrants to help drum up business. 

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during a briefing Thursday that the board will tackle misinformation on a range of issues, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said part of its intention is to counter misinformation in Hispanic communities especially.
