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.
The vietnam war had so much footage and yet now when every person is a cameraman nothing comes out of the Ukraine
You can always follow Patrick Lancaster for real news from the battle front.
One question...when will the US GOVERNMENT take care if its own taxpayers needs?
As always: "Looking for news in the corporate-media is like looking for love in a brothel.
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.
"When the truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie."
We have been lied too for decades and those in media have played a huge role!
Like the great John Mayer said: “ when you trust television, what you get is what you got”
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
I have been following Chris Hedges in his reporting and commenting for atleast 20 years, and have the utmost respect for him!
Thank the Universe we are fortunate enough to still have intelligent reporters like yourself who work so hard to get the truth out and into the real word. 👏👏👏👏👏.
Business as usual, boots on the ground, no weapon, true American Hero. Chris Hedges is one of the few GREAT men. May God bless and watch over you and yours.
Thanks to Chris for trying to get the truth out there
Now 1 year old, this summary is on point.
