BREAKING: Maricopa County Creates “Ministry Of Truth” To Silence The Gateway Pundit – Now Requiring Official Press Pass For Media “To ENTER ITS FACILITIES And/Or Cover Events Related To The 2022 General Election”

Maricopa County is already covering its tracks ahead of the 2022 General Election with what some are calling a “Ministry of Truth” to prevent real media and honest questions.
“Maricopa County will require an official Press Pass for members of the press to enter its facilities and/or cover events related to the 2022 General Election,” stated a new order from the County.
In order to register for a press credential, reporters must provide the following information, agree and sign their name attesting to the following:
By signing this application for a Maricopa County Press Pass, I certify that I am a journalist without a conflict of interest or association that would compromise my journalistic integrity.
Further, I do not receive compensation or special treatment from advertisers or political organizations that would influence my coverage related to Maricopa County or its elections.
I am not a lobbyist, advertiser, paid advocate or influencer for any individual, political party, corporation, or organization.
Therefore, no left-wing media outlet should be allowed to cover the election. However, that is probably not the case.
This is part of an announcement of the newly formed “Elections Command Center to Share Info with Voters, Combat Disinformation.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on these same tactics employed by the Biden Regime. After announcing the Biden Regime’s failed “disinformation governance board,” the White House later announced a new program called “the White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse.” This was created to “address” (silence) what the government deems to be “online harassment, abuse, and disinformation campaigns.”
The official announcement states,
Maricopa County Forms Elections Command Center to Share Info with Voters, Combat Disinformation
Six elected officials and a team of elections and communications professionals are coming together as one ahead of the 2022 November General Election in Maricopa County. Today, Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates and Recorder Stephen Richer established the “2022 Elections Command Center” which will serve as a central hub of information for the weeks leading up to and following the Nov. 8 General Election.
“At the beginning of the year, I promised we would run the most transparent elections this county has seen, and I’m proud of what the Board of Supervisors, the Recorder’s Office, and our elections team have done to date,” said Chairman Bill Gates, District 3. “The Command Center will further deliver on that promise by creating a structure that allows us to reach more people, faster, with factual information about how elections are run and how people can successfully participate.”
“We ran a terrific Primary Election, but because of our ‘continuous improvement’ work ethic, we will have an incredible communications team assembled that will allow us to better respond to constituent concerns and combat misinformation during the General Election,” said Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer. “I look forward to partnering with the Board of Supervisors to make this a great election for Maricopa County voters.”
The Elections Command Center will bring together communicators and subject matter experts from the Elections Department, Recorder’s Office, County Manager’s Office, and other county agencies for the following purposes:
Clear, consistent communication about voting deadlines and election processes to Maricopa County’s more than 2.4 million eligible voters which enables them to cast their ballot in the way they choose.
Outreach and response to local, national, and international media covering Arizona elections
Quick and accurate response to mis-, dis-, and mal-information related to the administration of elections in Maricopa County
Updates on tabulation and reporting of results following Election Day
