Sometimes I think Hedges is a genius and sometimes I don’t agree with him, but I’m never not edified by his perspective. YouTube taking down his episodes are Big Brother at its worst.

Reminds me of when Phil Donohue was “cancelled” for criticizing the Iraq War.

Unless there's a specific problem ... I'm not sure what YouTube is doing makes any sense ... It's beginning to sound a lot like what "Russia" is doing!

Many of us were very happy when Big Brother Jack Dorsey banned 45 from Twitter.

As if RT was any kind of danger other than the one posed by a serious critique of america. But i guess in the context it would be wishful thinking to hope for measure and balance in assessing this and the occasion was too good to pass on.

Big Brother is only going to keep getting worse, pretty soon, the only information you will be able to get is what a handful of Billionaires allow you to get.
