Establishment Journalists Call For Big Tech To Censor Everyone Else

In a major threat to what’s left of press freedom, establishment journalists are calling for Big Tech to censor those who won’t parrot the government-approved official narrative. Journalist Sulome Anderson has publically called for censorship of a site because it’s an independent news source.

Anderson publicly requested that Google de-rank the independent news site The Grayzone. Anderson, who, according to her bio on her Twitter page, has published with news outlets such as The Washington Post, Newsweek, New York Magazine, and Foreign Policy, labeled a recent article by Grayzone contributor Rania Khalek as “dangerous”. For her part, Khalek called Anderson’s comments to Google a “dangerous threat to press freedom.”

Khalek’s article, which Anderson specifically took aim at, is part of a two-piece investigation into alleged U.S. and Gulf states attempts to co-opt and influence the ongoing anti-corruption protests in Lebanon, according to Sputnik News.

Khalek writes that:

“By joining the roadblocks around Beirut, the protesters have inadvertently allowed themselves to be used by these US-allied parties. Whether they know it or not, the media-friendly artists and students at the ring road in downtown Beirut have given cover to the Lebanese Forces roadblocks in the north and the [Progressive Socialist Party] and Future Party roadblocks in the south.”

Anderson lashed out against the article, calling The Grayzone a “conspiracy theorist website” worth of Google’s power-hungry censorship:

Anderson describes the piece as “dangerous” and demands to know the criteria for Google news searches so this article cannot be read.

When establishment journalists insist something is propaganda and must be banned and censored, you know it’s something that’s worthy of attention. The systematic death of both journalism and free speech has arrived. Anderson is demanding that Google censor Grayzone.

It has become clear that this is nothing more than a government-backed attack on independent media. The establishment will stop at nothing in the battle for control over the public through what information they are allowed to have access to.

Khalek, who is based in the Lebanese capital Beirut, calls Anderson’s intervention a “threat to press freedom”. She says it is:

“Outrageous for a journalist to turn to big tech companies to censor other journalists simply because they don’t like the politics of an outlet or reporter…. And it is alarming that Google even bothered to respond to her complaints and smears. Censorship is never the answer. Big tech companies have way too much power as it is.”

She continues saying that “big tech” should “not be looked to as arbiters of what constitutes good versus bad reporting. Moreover, there is a broader issue of tech companies working closely with western government-funded think tanks, like the Atlantic Council, to determine what is fake news.” –Sputnik News

Khalek states that this is nothing more than government censorship through a middle man.

The real question is what are these establishment journalists afraid of? That they cannot refute the facts laid out? That people may start thinking on their own? That humans will come to the conclusion that they shouldn’t be owned and controlled by the media and a handful of corrupt politicians?

  1. Aw poor babies. The DNC controlled fake news press is upset that REAL journalists are getting the story out. That their “swamp fairy tale” is crashing and burning right before their eyes. lol

    So they turn to “Big Brother” and ask oh please, oh please, stop REAL journalists from actually educating We the People.

    Too late, We the People see what has been occurring. But go ahead there are still some that will listen to your babble. Not many, but hey when you lie, you pay the price. Forgot that We the People need a FREE press. Not opinions and talking points of the Socialist/Communist/Dictatorship Democratic Party.

    GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!

  2. I’ll oversimplify it: the liberals don’t want any ideas that aren’t theirs, they are constantly brainwashing us with their ideas on almost every television program you see. I loved watching sitcoms my whole life but now that I am aware of what is going on, I cannot stomach watching the shows anymore.”The Goldbergs”is one of the few shows worth watching. They are all about good family values, exactly what the liberals don’t want you to see! The liberals want you to see shows like”Blackish”which is racist towards the whites (black racism is okay). I do not accept racism in any form but the liberals will now call me a racist. I always loved to watch sitcoms as a way to escape from the world, but the liberals want to control every aspect of your life and that includes every thought you could possibly have. Liberalism is all about control, stop trying to control me!!!!!!!
