Andrew Yang proposed the creation of a federal "news ombudsman" to combat deep fakes and Russian misinformation. Critics argue that such a position would effectively police free speech and protect the administration rather than the public. During an encounter with an "InfoWars" reporter, Yang struggled to define the role beyond its utility in protecting his own image from doctored media.

The New York Times has eliminated the position of public editor as part of a broader wave of layoffs affecting approximately 100 employees. The role, similar to an ombudsman, was intended to provide internal accountability and address reader complaints. The removal of this oversight is interpreted as the paper's refusal to listen to its audience or maintain traditional journalistic standards.
