Katie Halper was fired by The Hill this week for a factual report explaining how Israel is an apartheid state.

This is the red line, western "reporters" are not allowed to pass.

This is our new "free" press!

The press in the US and most of Europe parrot the opinions of a ruling elite and oversees a public discourse that is often unhinged from the real world. It discredits or censors anything that counters the dominant narrative about Ukraine, however factual.

The #Ukraine conflict has plunged the world into a geopolitical crisis, and its effects on Western media institutions are increasingly concerning to advocates of a free press. The press in the #US and most of #Europe parrot the opinions of a ruling elite and oversees a public discourse that is often unhinged from the real world. It openly discredits or censors anything that counters the dominant narrative about Ukraine, however factual. It has become nearly impossible to question the virtues of Ukraine’s government and military. How did this happen? Why is a position on the war in Ukraine the litmus test for who gets to have a voice and who does not? Why should a position on Ukraine justify censorship? Veteran international correspondent and columnist Patrick Lawrence joins the Chris Hedges Report to discuss how the war in Ukraine has driven Western media to what may be a point of no return.
