Censorship American (Corporate) Style

Censorship is not as simple as it seems. In modern society it can be accomplished without the brutal apparatus of an authoritarian state.

As U.S. media reports a narrow narrative on the war in Ukraine, social media platforms are also increasingly censoring critical voices for peace. To understand how censorship in the US works, without the government's active involvement (in most cases), please watch this discussion between Abby Martin, Lee Camp, and Chris Hedges with CODEPINK moderator Jodie Evans on the impacts and implications of this censorship at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=revx-akHmAM

About the participants

• Lee Camp is an American writer and television host.
• Abby Martin is an American journalist, TV presenter, filmmaker and activist. She founded Empire Files and co- found the citizen journalism website Media Roots and serves on the board of directors for the Media Freedom Foundation which manages Project Censored.
• Chris Hedges is an American journalist, Presbyterian minister, and author. A former reporter for The New York Times, Hedges is a progressive commentator, activist, and critic of American liberalism.

All these voices have been censored, as they are voices that speak for peace and don't support the corporate narrative.
