Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act expired in January. Mass jounalist layoffs followed.. Re: journalists that were laid off shortly after this law expired. The law provided $160 million from January 2017 to January 2019. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countering_Foreign_Propaganda_and_Disinformation_Act Were these journalists actually fighting disinformation or spreading it?  Now that the federal dollars from this law are dried up, do you think we'll see A) an uptick in foreign propaganda because these journalists aren't around to counter it B) fewer fake news articles because these journalists were actually producing propaganda, or C) insert your own forecast of how this might effect journalism?
