New Cold War Witch Hunt Targets Journalists Opposed to US Empire

New Cold War Witch Hunt Targets Journalists Opposed to US Empire

The war in Ukraine has ushered in a new era of global politics, and it has also ushered in a new political witch hunt against dissenting voices. With more and more intensity, the corporate media – including social media giants – are closing ranks to squeeze out anyone who dares speak up in opposition to the Pentagon’s narrative and against catastrophic confrontation between the United States and Russia.
