It's my understanding that YouTube has apparently blocked (or is in the process of blocking) all RT content, including Hedges' "On Contact" archive - which was distributed by RT.  They did not just single him out and they have not blocked out his other "non-RT' videos.  They already blocked RT, Sputnik, and other Russian state-owned-media content in Europe last week.  I doubt much of his program was overt "Russian propaganda" but it was carried by RT, which seems to be the reason that content is blocked.  It doesn't seem like a very logical idea to me, but there it is.

Arguing censorship on total BS is a bit like suggesting Twitter censored Trump because they didn't keep the 4 tweets where Trump told the truth.

For the record, for some reason, Mr. Hedges doesn't list his 6 years on RT in his bio...
Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who was a foreign correspondent for fifteen years for The New York Times, where he served as the Middle East Bureau Chief and Balkan Bureau Chief for the paper. He previously worked overseas for The Dallas Morning NewsThe Christian Science Monitor, and NPR. He is the host of show The Chris Hedges Report.

You can't stop evolution.  All this crap will pass, albeit slower than it has to be.

 

Al Franken would like a staunch anti-Cancel Culture voice like Tucker Carlson to go back in time and make the same arguments.

i grazed the article and i think that they discuss a few valid issues

one being something captured digitally when a person was young (think teens with cell phones and social media) and dragging that out of the past and using it to wreck their career today

there are others

is there an understanding of history and context, and what is the path to common sense and forgiveness?

i'm not sure that any of us know someone that hasn't said or written something silly or something they regret

even comedy and film are obviously loaded with "original sin"

peace

'Freedom of speech' is fast becoming a contradiction in terms that would fit perfectly in Orwell's 1984.  It now seems to be 'Freedom of saying only what I agree with'.

Whilst the trend of shouting people down, cancelling them, smearing them rather than debating the issues, outrageously partisan double standards and the rest of the Ministry of Love tactics started in the US, like so many things the UK here is quickly following suit.  

Anyone who thinks the tech companies are working in our interests rather than the interests of their billionaire owners needs to wake up.

I think people in the Western democracies have gone mad, either vanishing up their own backsides to avoid facing up to the harsh realities of life outside their little bubbles or cowed into acquiescence.  The unintended consequences will damage us for a long time, if we ever recover from them at all.  Meanwhile the likes of China laugh and carry on their quest to replace our namby-pamby democracies with hard-edged paternalistic communism.
