Elite media plot new censorship regime
By Cliff Kincaid

Under the guise of suppressing "fake news," the elite media and their allies are creating a censorship regime to ban legitimate conservative news from platforms like Facebook, Google, and Twitter.

In a November 19 editorial, the New York Times complained that millions of people" have been taken in by "fake news stories," such as that Pope Francis had endorsed Donald Trump for president.
