This new political battle does not break down along left v. right lines. This is an information war waged by corporate media to silence any competition or dissent.
On Wednesday, I wrote about how corporate journalists, realizing that the public’s increasing contempt for what they do is causing people to turn away in droves, are desperately inventing new tactics to maintain their stranglehold over the dissemination of information and generate captive audiences. That is why journalists have bizarrely transformed from their traditional role as leading free expression defenders into the the most vocal censorship advocates, using their platforms to demand that tech monopolies ban and silence others.

I thought the drone came mic guy was being pretentious. His cartoon makes the point about US imperialism and pseudo liberalism in a very effective manner and does not interfere with anyone who might want to offer a platform for the victims of drone bombing if anything, by writing this essay he is doing the same thing all over again.
I thought the essay was an example of something we need to see less elaborate performative meta analysis as virtue signaling.
Our supposed liberal humanitarian foreign policy is murderous. That is the main message. The cartoon effectively makes that point.
Journalists, academics and even a Google executive have joined in to attack the independent publishing platform Substack, as the battle over ‘harassment’ of a New York Times reporter quickly escalated into a censorship war.
