oh my god. A former Fox News reporter is expected to be appointed to lead the State Department agency in charge of efforts to counter foreign propaganda and disinformation.

i.e., propagandist hired to counter propaganda. This should work out well.

(CNN)The State Department on Thursday announced that a former Fox News reporter would lead its agency in charge of efforts to counter foreign propaganda and disinformation.

Lea Gabrielle will become the special envoy and coordinator of the Global Engagement Center, State Department deputy spokesperson Robert Palladino announced during the department press briefing.

"Lea will provide the permanent leadership we have needed to bolster the Global Engagement Center's operations. And she will begin her duties on Monday. Lea is a former CIA-trained human intelligence operations officer, defense foreign liaison officer, United States Navy program director, Navy FA-18/C fighter pilot, and national television news correspondent and anchor at two different networks," Palladino said.

Until we roll back what Reagan did to let Fox loose our democracy will always be under attack.

4. Oh, a Fighter Pilot, huh? Great qualification for this position ...

She can just hop in her bird and blast that naughty foreign propaganda coming through our airwaves all to HELL!

Surprised they didn't throw in 'and Navy Seal who killed 27 of Bin Laden's Thugs in the Pakistan Raid'.

And what a great job they're doing too!

8. Well, she certainly has experience with propaganda...

I'm not sure if that confers any expertise in countering it, but propaganda is Faux's main line of business...
