17 BIG MEDIA CENSORS AMERICA

He who now talks about the ‘freedom of the press’ faces backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism. — V. I. Lenin (S129)

There is no doubt that a free press is the first enemy of dictatorship.— Fidel Castro, the first Communist dictator of Cuba (S130)

Two things form the bedrock of any open society: freedom of expression and the rule of law. If you don't have these things, you don't have a free country. — Salmon Rushdie quoted by Senator Mitch McConnell on the floor of the Senate.

Censorship by proxy in America results from a combination of powerful Big Tech and Big Media companies manipulating and controlling the flow of information on behalf of Woke fascism. For our purposes, "Big Media" is defined as large television networks, major news organizations, leading big-city newspapers, publishers, entertainment companies, and major websites. Woke fascist ideas about race, politics, free speech, culture, and history increasingly dominate these powerful organizations.

Top executives often adopt the extremist positions of progressives if it helps their companies and their careers. They are fearful of angering the progressives and follow the path of least resistance. Many Big Media executives are globalists in outlook and appear to care little or nothing about the US, its people, its Constitution, culture, or history. Most CEOs view themselves as a class of elite global managers with few loyalties to the USA. Globalists look at the American working and middle classes with disdain as mere consumers without rights. Inferiors. Subordinates.

Uniformity and Self-Censoring

Censorship in fascist countries is mainly centralized. Tone and content are controlled by the center of power. In Nazi Germany, censorship and propaganda were carefully stage-managed by Joseph Goebbels, the minister of information. He met daily with his editorial staff and decided what newspapers and radio stations would report. The Soviet Union worked about the same way. Government officials at the highest levels determined basic news content. The word was passed to leading news organizations like Pravda (ironically meaning "truth"), and across the Soviet Union, news organizations fell into line. Or else.

In 2022, censorship is decentralized but more and more coordinated as it tightens its grip on free speech and democracy. Companies like NBC, CBS, or the New York Times generally ban or refuse to air similar stories. Information that doesn't support progressive narratives is edited out of existence. Facts about Joe Biden and his son's possible corruption are discouraged. Covid-19 vaccine safety issues and concerns are erased.

Big Media emphasizes group thinking and a broad willingness to defer to Woke fascist viewpoints. Newsrooms are packed with FND journalists and editors who fervently follow the lead of progressives to promote fascist views on free speech, race, democracy, and culture. For decades progressive editors and journalists have promoted newsroom uniformity by refusing to hire Republican or conservative journalists and writers. Gradually, as older, traditionminded journalists retired, newsrooms became overwhelmingly liberal. This is the process of gradual revolution anticipated by Gramsci.

The same process took place in higher education. Left-wing professors and department heads gradually hired fascist-friendly academics like themselves.
