The Chris Hedges Report: Ukraine and the crisis of media censorship

Throughout the Ukraine war, Western news outlets have mindlessly parroted the opinions of a ruling elite and overseen a public discourse that is often unhinged from the real world. 

Patrick Lawrence was a correspondent and columnist for nearly 30 years for the Far Eastern Economic Review, the International Herald Tribune and The New Yorker. He is the author of Somebody Else's Century: East and West in a Post-Western World and Time No Longer: America After the American Century.

    I'm British. I've worked in many countries, and never fail to be amazed by the false information the BBC puts out, until now I have no trust in the British Broadcasting Corporation.

    Censorship is a sign of weakness. And extreme censorship and suppression of any real news on Ukraine war that we observe now is a sign of an extreme weakness.

    When British politicians can call for Putin to be declared a war criminal without any sense of irony you know you're in a dark place.

    I remember, as a child in the 1950s, hearing that there was no freedom of speech in Soviet Russia. Fast forward to the 21st century, and the age of innocence is gone.

    Amnesty International never said one word about the atrocity of the war on drugs and rendered themselves invalid.

    It's a breath of fresh air to hear real journalists and war reporter's, most of my friends don't even know the war on Dombas has been going on since 2014.

    The 50+ Billion Dollars of weapons we have sent to Ukraine this year is more than the total military budgets of most countries in the world!

    I only came across this video today. It's incredible how many people are still as committed to believing the doublethink now as they were 6 months or a year ago
