Censorship Is the Refuge of the Weak

Enemies list? Fed-backed censorship machine targeted 20 news sites

Just the News, New York Post, Fox News, Epoch Times and Breitbart were identified among the "most prominent domains" whose election coverage was cited in tweets flagged by the Election Integrity Partnership and its collaborators.

This is a fascist regime aiming to criminalize political dissent."

"Censorship is a civil rights issue,"..."Not only do we have the right to speak, but we have the right to petition the government and be free from retaliation."

The consortium "relies on innuendo and insinuation to imply we are not trustworthy and thus should be censored"

"The definition of 'disinformation' is now any reported facts that go against the world view of the political establishment," ...this begs the question...according to who?

"That tax payer dollars are being spent to censor half the country is a travesty and whoever is behind this must be held accountable."

Truer words have never been spoken.

The report emphasized 15 were verified by Twitter. ...repeat verified by...who? Twitter is now the official bureau of 'Newspeak', excellent, maybe the fascist enablers amongst us can stop being anti-American and bring an end to this travesty, but that is not likely.

Oh God It’s Going To Get SO Much Worse

Whoever controls the narrative controls the world. By taking our control of information out of our hands without asking our permission and determining for us that we are to be a propaganda-based civilization for the foreseeable future, they have stolen something sacred from us. Something they had no right to take.

Nothing about the state of the world tells us that the people who run things are doing a good job. Nothing about our current situation suggests they should be given more control, rather than having control taken away from them and given to the people. We are going in exactly the wrong direction.

In the Murdoch family succession battle, Fox News and democracy hang in the balance

A 91-year-old billionaire sits atop a global media empire, while his adult children vie to control the family company in the next generation.

It sounds like the plot of the HBO series Succession, but New York Times journalist Jim Rutenberg says the real-life drama involving Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch and his children, Lachlan, James, Elisabeth and Prudence, rivals anything a screenwriter could dream up.

"I ... have always suspected that the Succession writers have some mole in the family, because it's just too many things they seem to know," Rutenberg says. "It's just got all the drama you want in television, but democracy hinges on its future." ...

This piece is based on a Fresh Air interview of the documentary The Murdochs, playing on CNN+, itself based on an earlier New York Times investigative piece, "Planet Fox" (2019).

Audio: https://ondemand.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/fa/2022/04/20220421_fa_01.mp3 (42 minutes).

Some have begun to circulate claims the war is a hoax, a media fabrication, or has been exaggerated by the West in terms of its scale.
We've examined some of them.

They're even reusing some of the same lies from the Covid crisis.
