It was about the
the decision by Facebook and Twitter at the behest, at least in the case of Facebook, of the US government to quash or dial down that story and deny access to that story.
That is a historic moment in the history of censorship in our country.
It doesn't come from an institution.
The only way, there's no shortcut to trust in media.
The only way to get it is by doing a good job over and over and over again, not getting things wrong, and when you do get things wrong, admitting it.
There's no other way to do it in media.

The mainstream media, what we're talking about tonight, has repeatedly gotten things wrong, not admitted, not owned up to it.
I mean, Malcolm is talking about conspiracy theories.
Let's talk about a story that was huge in America for years, this idea that Donald Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, was making visits to Prague.
Now, this came from the infamous Steele dossier.
If you read the dossier, basically the idea is Trump sent his lawyer to go meet with hackers and Kremlin representatives in Prague, and Steele says that they would preferably be Romanian hackers who would afterwards retreat to Bulgaria, where they could use that country as a bolt hole to lie low.

First of all, just quickly, the notion that the New York Times should be patted on the back for doing this story like the Hunter Biden story years late, after all the people who had touched that subject were ostracized and in some cases actually thrown out of the mainstream media.
They're working on podcasts now as opposed to working for big magazines like they had before.
