Dear CCI Friends,
Censorship (regulating what we are allowed to hear or say) and propaganda (sculpting the reality we are allowed to know) are defining our lives in this era. Insisting on truth is the only antidote. For those of us in the trenches it feels like a silent and uphill battle, but there are names and faces in the spotlight who are calling out the ‘official narrative’ for what it is – baloney.
Rick Sanchez is an award-winning American journalist who worked at Russia Today for three years until the 2022, Special Military Operation in Ukraine. Recently interviewed by Tucker Carlson, Sanchez said he was not censored by Russia while at RT, but finds censorship in the US ubiquitous; so ubiquitous he was censored right out of a job.
Tucker and Sanchez explore the issues: the neocon chokehold on corporate media, free speech in America, Russia’s perspective on the war, and things you can’t say if you work for big business media in the United States of America, Land of the Free. Luckily for us, we are still the Home of the Brave thanks to voices like Sanchez and Carlson.
What does this chokehold on truth mean to ‘we the people’ who, we are told, have the ultimate say in guiding the largest, most powerful military in the history of the world? Please let us know your thoughts on this critical issue.
